As you already read in the above section, the Megasquirt board died on us, so I've already had a new unit ordererd. But this time a different one which is easier to use
with the wiring. A StratifiedAuto MSND76 PnP with an onboard MAP (boost) sensor and a inlet temperature sensor. I have choosen an electronic boostcontroller to go
with it and was delivered with it.
Oh look what dropped in
Back to the car itself. The fantastic fitting (NOT!) exhaust needed some work other than the turbo flange. There is a wastegate 'inlet' from the collector, but an exit
(dump) is not in the downpipe. Maybe they thaught: well, do a screamerpipe? Hell no, not with the regulations of Time Attack.
* Note; yes, the v-band flange is connected to a simple 2-bolt flange. Nice job to redo later...
A painstaking job is the heatwrap. Maybe you have done it yourself but it itches sooooo bad. But it sure helps to keep the heat in and to the turbo and it lookes nice
and tidy.
Work is done on the ECU, triple checked al the wires, measure and measure again before soldering and asked our dad to check independently if I had it right.
But no; 3 wires wrong. Thanks for checking! We were confident that this should do it, only 1 wire was stated on the MX-6 scheme that didn't matched any on
the KF2.0 wiring. You will read it later on.
After the research and soldering, it had to be done; hook it up and power on. If it fails, we had time left to arrange something else or maybe a new unit.
Whoohoo!!! The map reading was not correct but hey, it did its thing and not fry itself.
And now for something completely different! Yes, massive work on the chassis was needed to make some extra room for the turbo inlet and the intercoolerpiping.
As you can see, it drops 2cms and the radiator facing side is not under an angle but straight to accomodate the silicon hoses for the intercooler
Yup! Fits like a charm
The final result (some paint will be added later on)
The mailman delivered a new package, this time the braided oilfeed line for the turbo with the correct couplers.
