97 B2200 NZDM - FE DOHC (JDM) conversion

Coming from someone who cries about bandwidth and page size?
I downsize them to 800xwhatever.
It's photobucket I believe, they now limit the size of linked files, drastic reduction in their bandwidth I imagine.

Yeah, yeah, nah, bro:

Maximum display size of photos is 2048x1536 pixels each.
Maximum file size permitted is 1MB per photo

I think they used to limit to 1024 or 1280, I know the bulk of my pics on there are 1024.

BUMP for progress! :-p

Fred.

See, larger.
Why no larger in forums? (used to be larger)
me not know

Progress? Just put up 3 signs this morning, making 6 more this afternoon and put up 2 windsocks yesterday at Coca-cola.
Progress on truck? Signs come first

Update:
I have a trigger wheel set up (pictures to come).
I have alternator and power steering set up (pictures to come).
Though I may need a block turned to fix up part of my rangi (NZ'ism) connectors and a reserve fabricated/invented.
Did another power up on the ecu yesterday, got 1.2v instead of 5v... Fred says MORE POWER well more Amps and see what result it gives. If anyone needs their bread toasted send it to me, I'll power her up again tonight.
27 days straight working so that means basically NO progress on truck very very sad state of affairs.
Had the weekend off, made no signs, only came in to work to drink some rum with a mate, do some donuts in his ute and test ecu.
A good feeling not to work! lol.

Sounds like you had a good, fun, weekend! Now, less talk and more picturaas!

Just got a wideband sensor and controller, slight progress, will post pictures when I get that

Trigger wheel



Power steering and alternator, both from the donor vehicle.
The p/s was rooted on my truck, and much worse off when I couldn't GET IT OFF THE BLOCK!!!!!! lol.
The alternator was fine... until I rooted it prying it apart! (I'm an idiot)
Hacked up a bracket and flipped another one and it looks like she'll work nicely
Need to take the hacked up one back out and give it a paint... though rust is such a nice look.....


Wideband sensor and controller


Thanks to Fred giving me some input and correcting the "guide" I've finally got my little puma ecu to power up for the first time correctly. lol. only took 3 tries.
1st the inputs were in the wrong place (guide)
2nd not enough amperage into the board to come up to spec. (guide)
3rd Fred said "DO THIS, and all shall be well!"
Which coincided with what I wanted to do, put some more amps into it!!!
But thought I'd really better check first as the person who wrote the guide knows MUCH more than I. lol.

5V reading was 4.99V so I'm good to go with the through hole stuff

Somebody crack a beer!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry the photos have become so small, I downsize them to 800x600 but they don't stay that way once linked
re: previous conspiracy theory.
can't complain too much, I don't pay to host them right?

No you're not!!! First get some comms with a computer and load some fresh code, THEN proceed with through hole stuff. Don't solder anything more until you get a baseline.

Oh yeah... that! lol.

Fuck me, if it's not one thing it's the other.
I thought hardware was going to be the hard part of this ECU business!
Turns out I need to be unemployed to make sense of trying to get any firmware onto this board
(aka, a tonne of time to try and learn/relearn what currently looks to me like a ASCII powerchuck on the screen)

Leaning heavily towards ripping the whole fucking lot out of the ute and putting an engine in there I can either 1 understand or 2 work on. Keep having my time stolen away by stupid shit which is fucking me off. If I had a can of gas right now I'd just torch the fucking lot!
(people or truck? whichever I get to first )

And the above is probably just all unfair and I suck arse!
