I like that idea, or should I say eyedear.

I will be home working on it on Wednesday?

always getting excited when i see updates to this.....

now i think i'm too excited
top work dude, looken forward to the report on how she runs

Mate that looks overly awsome in my eyes also would like to say i'm a bit fan of your photography.
You do know how to use a camera!
Looks sick as start it up and get a vid of it

make a clear cold air intake so they stay visible

Thant's an awsesome idea! Get one molded out of clear plastic all the way through to the tubing lol would look sick as

eagerly waiting for a running clip of the engine!!!

Matt and I had a chat about an airbox the other day, I'm going to make one out of alloy but with the top and side out of clear perspex (bolts on so you can get to everything inside), it will bolt on with the ram tubes then have the bottom running two panel filters. Rough estimate it wold hold at least 8 litres.

If all goes well, I should have video this time tomorrow night of it running. I have a good boss that didn't mind me swapping tomorrow for an extra day next week.



Tomorrows jobs:

Finish wiring EMS, (spent ages getting the wires through with the standard loom, Ford must have had midgets doing the EF wiring)

Get the LC-1 wires from drivers side neatly to the glovebox, mount calibration switch in glovebox.

Flush cooling system, new coolant.

Hook up laptop to EMS

Calibrate Water temp sensor (still haven't worked out how to have a boiling pot of water in the engine bay? Maybe the kettle on the ground underneath the car)

Calibrate TPS and airtemp sensors, easier

Load Fuel and Spark maps

Cross everything I have, fingers, toes, nuts....

.....turn the key


Got the EMS mounted nicely in the glovebox, two screws and the outer skin of the glovebox comes off, which then allows you to bolt the unit down easily, few grommets to help with vibration, nylock nuts. The coil igniters also fitted, and still left room for the serial cable. I cutout a section at the back of the glovebox, so the loom would fit easier and it also gives the ECU some air.

The EMS software should have a calibration file for the falcon water and air temp sensors. It should just be a mater of loading that in when setting up the sensors.
at worst i KNOW there is one in there for the EB sensors. (ems is the control ECU for the saloon cars)

Cheers, that's good to know, I read you can save a calibration file once done, didn't look to see if they already had one for the I6, thanks.

Yep your in luck! there's calibrations already there for the EB water and air temp sensors, Go into the "GoTo menu > Calibrations > Open file.

the boy has it right.


Are you going to to use internal MAP for load source one (taking a MAP signal from your vacuum rail)? and TPS for load source two?

I have the map connected, but might run it on TPS until I see what sort of vacuum reading I get and also how stable and smooth it is.

other option is a mutlimeter on the sensor, find the resistance values in a mechs guide or something

I mounted my LC-1 calibration switch & LED in the inside fuse box......so when the lid is on, you can't see it.
