i have just found out how to setup my boost controller to have a different pressure per gear.

Don't you use a Turbosmart eBoost controller? I wasn't aware of them being gear-mappable? Quality if it is, that'll sort all sorts of problems and make you a damn sight better off the line no doubt! Bet it'll only need about 8psi in first then you can be away and on the move! Good news about the driveshafts

It's funny you say that about the big power FWD Fords coming out next year. I was reeeeeeeally looking forward to the summer and tail end of this year, there seemed to be at least four 600+bhp Escort Cosworths in the final stages of completion a few months ago, but hardly any have surfaced

On a manual gearbox, how can any ecu know at what gear you are??? I really need to know this

For experience, I don't give a deadline to anyone about when my car is going to be ready, and I belive that no one should do it either since there is always something going wrong, beeing delayed, going diferent route, etc

I bet that everyone is trying to go to TOTB with the new setups

I don't know yet, it must be a fairly funky little sensor/ECU that carries out the function though. Never seen one or read a description of such a system.

The proper turbo was ditched in the last week or two. Shame, but it can always be slapped on later I'm sure What have you done with yours since the day at SCC Sean? I completely forgot to call you the following day Sounded as though you were going to be busy anyway..

hi m8

yeah was busy on sunday i ran the car at the performance ford daddy thrash really good day never pushed the car that hard, ended up destroying my head gasket at times i was running 31psi silly me hit the rev limiter using nitrous which is a big no no so i did'nt expect it to last.. so on my shopping list is a wideband 02 & egt gauge not cheap but its a must, and a bigger turbo exhaust housing going from 0.64 to 0.84 i'll have to get christmas out of the way first...

sean i still have the clips on camera ill burn you a copy and give them to ya when i see you next

went out in sme of the fastest cars i have ever been in....Seans and Paul's Black NMS S2 Sean...like the way you said you werent going for it and when we saw the top seed flash up

bassboy

thanks bassboy
top speed runs are gooooooooo but i need to do more i cant wait for next year so many big power fwd fords should be ready. i'm going to order my uprated driveshafts, and i have just found out how to setup my boost controller to have a different pressure per gear. i'll also have to speak to bernie to gain my top speed i have to drop my final drive to suit the engine. he is always going on about how the standard 3.82 final drive suits the engine Characteristics but it does'nt suit mine.
by the way bassboy what would a t70 turbo be like on my car i can get hold of one very cheap, only done a few hundred miles comes off a famous cosworth.

too big mate not worth the hassle...but i would like to use somehng a bit bigger than that if i can on a different engine that i have been specc'ing up

IIRC there is are micro switches on the gear linkage that allows the ECU to know what boost/fuel to run

[heeman10]

That's the only way it can be done, I want to see pics though

[BUTRE]

Had this years ago for my clio but never sorted the sensor to light it up:

[heeman10]

What type of sensor were you trying to use?

[bassboy]

[essexrsturbo]

If there is a speed sensor on the car, the ECU will be able to work out what gear your in, using a simple RPM/Speed table.

I'm even falling behind the Scortmeister in knowledge! Bloody unemployment!
