Does mid week count

Post by Rotazuk »

Not exactly a weekend achivement , but it did start as one .

I have been fumbling around trying to get a 16v suzuki motor running on a megasquirt ecu for the past two odd months . The first big err was not looking at the wiring diagram properly and noticing the ecu controled the ignition . Hmm , slight rewire and reprogram of the ecu ( it now has launch control , nitris and water injection and a bunch of other stiff a suzuki does not need to know about ) and all was sorted .

A few glitches along the way , battery not the best so once the volts got through the jumper leads to the engine it was lacking , hence no spark .

Anyway it finally burst into life this evening and about bloody time too . Now to find an exhaust , figure out whats up with the oil pressure light and I can start tuning it a bit more :-) .

The first rip down the street will be a good one .

Cheers

Chris

Ok , excuse the poor quality .

This is the megasquirt ecu I built to run the rover v8 , it may go back there soon .



Image

This is the program used to tune the ecu , this will take some time as I am an amiture at this :-)



Image

Set for a run , the recorded run is the second time I have run it , I did not expect it to start the first time . It has not gone as smoothly as it should have , taken over two months . Nevermind it goes now .

Video of the second run , to show up the v8 and straight six boys . this is the real sound of a big block 100 ci suzuki :-)

Not sure how to insert video streem so will have to go to the pic's page until I figure it out or someone tells me .

Cheers
