No, it goes rich at WOT, I didn't explain myself properly! I was meaning during cruise, where before it was epically rich as it was on lift off too. Now you can see a steady progression from lean, to middle, to rich as you go diagonally across the map.

I have a wideband controller here now (in the form of lots of resisters and capacitors) but need to buy a Bosch sensor, which looks to be about 30-40 quid, is that what you mean that you'd want a new one of for yours?

Ok, that's cool.

Yeah, the sensor the Innovate ones ship with is a VW part, made by Bosch.

cheers

Aye, I've got an DIY EFI kit, which uses an L1H1 rather than a LSU sensor (it's not as pimp as an LC-1 ;)) I need to get involved and get it fired up though.

The above is purely guesswork as well, I havn't completely sussed what the pcb I have here is but it looks most likely to be an Oz DIY WB

Just getting some quotes for Chrischip PCB's. 1 pcb is around 35 quid. 2-£45, 3-£55 etc.

Then we get into 20 for £200, 30 - £210 etc

500 - £500.

I hate economies of scale when they arn't working for me :lol:

Thats very kind, I will take you up on the finding out :D Best let you settle in before hand though :lol:

When the time comes, it's a 60x90mm 2layer. Would like soldermask, don't care about silkscreen. Cheers dude.

Latest on mapping. This tank has been soley lanes work and has returned just over 27MPG over 160miles which is better than I got from the 1.7 :o :shock: Not done a run yet but am going to Bedford next weekend so will find out.

Nope.

But they're affiliated with 'SparkFun' AFAIK, who are a pretty reputable hobbyist electronics 'site from the US. I'd trust them.

Ah, I use a lot of sparkfun stuff, and never looked at their pcb making arm. Cool, I best get involved and at least do one of them ;)

Protopcb is currently being made on a friends micromill :D Meanwhile I've been playing with the on board diagnostic stuff since Speedy needs them PDP, I've got a useful datastream out and now fighting with some old software under XP :(

Last tank of fuel, 180miles to 25 quid. 40m lanes, 50 town and the last 90 A road with roundabouts. I makes that around 36MPG, now we are getting somewhere :D
