yeah I am fizzing, still a lot of tuning to sort out, but definitely heading in right direction finally.

Off to see my mortgage broker tomorrow, to finance my paint job ;)

My (meant to be) fresh motor is smokey as, so hope that I don't have a mechanical issue that involves me having to pull out and strip down :deadhorse:

It is definitely snappy in the throttle even in untuned state:

After that vid, I think you may get a few people on the ITB bandwagon haha. Love that A series engine sound...

Yeah its so easy..........

Custom ITB's and EFI are the way to go, if you want to lose 5K, 5 years & 50% of your hair...... :lol:

My advise based on that video is,
Check your factory tacho against a known to be accurate one. I didn't improve my first supercharged A series motor, due to an inaccurate tacho. (Screwed 8K from it many times. Then fitted a shift light and found that 6200 on the tacho was actually 7500)
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............

cheers Bart; it seems near identical to laptop reading so thats good.
does over shoot a little. but hey I have rev limiter thanks to the ECU ,
I am also going to fit a wee shift light, to cover where choke knob was
in the long term.
