Andrew Smith Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Not fair Andrew we all live and learn Reasonable question Neil and John has given a reasonable answer. John, TR owners are a far more down to earth bunch than the average E Type owner, so hopefully you'll feel you're in good company. Cheers Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyDangerous Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Looking forward to getting to meet a few Andrew, Like I said we can have a dyno day and BBQ at mine when im a bit better. One other reason I bought this one (and don't take it the wrong way) is I hate red cars, the only other colour I would prob have considered is mimosa yellow as you never seem to see any saphire blue ones. But saying that as red cars go the TR pulls it off well ! I just don't do red !!!! LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIYBOSSCAT Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 "Dash is coming out this week and I can sit at home and refurb the guages at my leisure." John, I have just stripped and cleaned my gauges, sanded and sprayed them gloss white inside, I bought seals from http://www.jdo10.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/page11.html, I was also guided by this brilliant site http://www.74tr6.com/gauges.htm. Much cleaner and clearer now, even show up in the dark! Hope this helps. Vince. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Vince the 74tr6 link is the one I read, thats how I will do my guages, we have an aquablast machine that will clean the bodies up quite well. Did you lose the green shades for the bulbs or keep them? Thanks for the JDO link I was going to use speedy cables but they have a min £10 order I think. I will also refurb the rheostat same as on 74tr6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Millward Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Slightly off topic John but as you are fitting EFI with 6 butterflies this link may be of interest.... http://sideways-technologies.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/6225-noisy-map-signal/ Oh, and if funds permit.....BUY THE E TYPE! I missed out on one at a stupid price (thank you wifey... ) and regret it. Cheers Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyDangerous Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Tony, how come you are using MAP to tune the car and not TP we never use MAP on a normally aspirated car as the resolution is far too small, we just had a Marcos LM running on a Syvecs (very top end ecu) but mapped on a MAP sensor, it was hopeless, once it was mapped on TPS it gained 30hp but drove perfectly.

Tony Millward Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Interesting John, I believe that's known as 'Alpha N' as opposed to the normal 'Speed Density' measurement. I'll try that out. Cheers Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyDangerous Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) I dont do any mapping Tony but the way my mapper explained it is that an NA car only has a very small 'window' of vac/pres that can be read, in fact there is prob no presure at all, whereas a turbo or charged car has the 'extra' presure to be monitered and acted upon (in most cases at least 1 bar and often 2 bar over atmospheric presure) We also would not consider using MAP on TB equipped cars, we also have a very new SLK that someone has put on TB's (don't ask) the only way to make it run was to make a custom airbox from carbon and use that with a MAP sensor, but all that meant was it actually started and ran, we are trying to fit a syvecs and bypass a lot of the electrickery like fly by wire throttle etc. If we can get the syvecs to work on this we can then use TPS to map the car, TP is the way to go as you will have far more area to tune, most everything we tune also has tuneble ignition which my 6 will have using an emerald and coil packs.
