Possible Map Sensor fault

[Tony C]

Hi Mate,
have another set of rods now,
the prob with the RV8 pistons are the pins are press fit not fully floating, and the pistons have no way of using clips.

On another note:
the engine should be on its way to V8Developments in Spalding in the next week or so,
blocks being done with a set of 8 tophat liners,
and the bottom end is going to be lightened and fully balanced :-)
cost is £1500 though :-(

But if Rob does it, then you can be sure it'll be right. :)

oh yes mate,
cant wait to get it back,
was going to mail you and ask if you could give the ecu a once over mate to make sure i have done the map sensor correct and make sure every thing is working, as i got no way of testing it all at the mo.

Happy to do that.  When's the rough target date?  I'll make sure I have it pencilled in to my diary.

The engine goes off to V8 Developments monday 29th March,
they want it for about 3-4 weeks,
so any time from now onwards till it comes back mate,
Hope to be racing on June 6th at classic ford show,
was going to try and get the new firmware sorted also for then so i could run a lot of gas and use the retard feature , but thats looking doubtful.

Plenty of time!  Looks like the first weekend in may would be a good opportunity - will check for permission from the boss...

[Tony C]

will let you know when the engine is back,
you want the ecu sent over?

I'm confident I can test all I need to on the ECU when I visit for the tuning.  I'll bring my spare ECU too so there will be no chance of being stranded anywhere.

Unless you feel like having belt and braces?  I'm happy either way.

im happy with what ever your happy with mate,
