As part of the emerald conversion on my car, Pete's and Martin's I'm going to remove the steering ECU and replace it with one of the Emerald's output channels. On our cars it's mainly to tidy up the foot well and free up some space really.

Got me thinking though that as the PWM tables switch with the maps it would be possible to have different steering maps for drift / track / street etc.

Anyone think this would be useful? Was thinking for drift it might be best to have more assistance so you can get the lock on quicker or reduce the assistance on track for more feel.

Sounds great will it only work on a Emerald ECU?

Yes as it uses one of the emerald functions to do it.

Could probably knock something up using an arduino or similar if there was demand

John - is the Emerald ready for the TT yet matey?

John - is the Emerald ready for the TT yet matey?

 

Yes it is.

The first car has been done and set up.

Owner is very happy.

John is currently working on Madmax/Martins car .The second TT customer.

But at the same time John is looking at "options" and "new developments" on the 300ZX which can be run by the Emerald ECU.

Both Jonn and myself need a new system to run power steering because of the way we have built our "hybrid" vehicles. Hence the interest in power steering.

I'd be interesed to see how this pans out :)

Pete,

 

Where can I get a list of prices/options sir? Or if you want to email me it's

andy.gp@gmx.com

 

Many thanks.

Andy, we'd sort of taken the decision not to issue a price list until after the VAT rise, seemed daft when it would change so quickly.

 

Base system includes K6 ECU, CAS disk, conversion harness and air temp / MAP sensors & plugs.

This gives 3 switchable maps, traction/launch control (after XMAS - software in testing), boost control including safety cutoff etc., full throttle gearshift / anti-lag, VTC control, gear dependant boost control, user configurable outputs for anything you want!

 

Options are:

EGT sensor

Wideband Lamdba sensor

Display for Lambda

Boost control solenoid

Driver circuit for NOS control

 

I'll PM you my number if you want to chat about it.

 

Cheers

How damn exciting cant wait for mine to be finnished off!

You and everyone else in this club, matey :thumbup:

LOL its close Banzai Mag are waiting as well... should be soon (fingers crossed)

John, did you ever get anywhere with this?

 

also wondering, would it be something that would be able to be added as an after-thought or would it need to be installed when the ECU is fitted? (assuming that its available)

Just waiting on Karl to release the new firmware with all the multi-purpose tables in then it'll be available. It's soemthing that can be added easily later, just oen output to the solenoid to be connected.

Eh up john, Been a while.

 

While i got your attention, can i ask if you have ever done an ecu chip on an RX7? And if not you do you fancy trying one?:clap::thumbup1:

Hi Mate, how are you and the family?! Certainly has been a while.

Never done an RX7 mate. Could stick an emerald on it for you but would never have the time to look into chipping it properly I'm afraid. If you can get a chip you trust I could probably fit it for you though.

The family all good thanks, I got 2 kids now 4 and 2!!! How many you upto so far.

 

No bother on the chip, just thought id ask a man in the know. The RX7 is the Mrs's new toy ive still got the zed after nearly 10 years of ownership.

 

Take care dude, oh and its good to see the 500zx up and running!

Just the one, she's 3 next month, amazing how quick it flies in!

Didn't realise you still had the Zed, nice one, just presumed you'd sold it ages ago for some reason. Hoping to get to the odd meet this year if I have time so maybe see you at one.
