went to wsid last night had a good night must have been 200+ cars with nearly an hour between runs, still running 12's.
 i tried dissabling the bbm to see the differences over the 1/4, with the bbm disconnected / cable tied on short runners.. ran a 13.4 with really poor 2.5 60 foot. re connected the bbm and tried risking a hard stall up, lol threw the box into limp home mode and locked in 3rd gear it still ran a 15.1@73mph had to back it off half way as i didnt want to kill the box..

Get a J3 or Shiftkits LHM override to override the LHM

Cheers ToranaGuy yea a cushion button would have been the next up grade, the way it was the clutch was the fuse, upgrade the clutch then the box becomes the fuse..lol That kinda makes me feel a bit better about choosing a cushion button for mine..

What if you use a setup like a transbrake switch to run the LHM when you want to stall it up and when you take off turn the module off so it shifts properly?
Would just take a normally open push button inthe 12V supply line.

With a J3 on the EL ECU you can just change the RPM limit that LHM kicks in. Can also change the line pressure for snap hard shifts at >80% throttle and milder shifts at part throttle.

They are editable, but choosing the right base bin (to suit the diff ratio and speedo gear you have -- are they matching?) should solve that problem as long as the shifts are fast enough. I find mine can hit the limiter if it breaks traction (bad surface) in the top end before it shifts.

yea i have the right speedo gear to suit the 3.45 ratio.
the other thing i noticed is the el ecu makes the low rpm shifts sloppy but good up top. where the eb ecu makes the shifts firmer down low and much the same as the el ecu up top except for the shift points.. so maybe a j3 is the answer?? |

Either that a or a wolf V500.
J3 might be a little more cost effective. Do you race with the box in power or economy? I recall my EB used to limiter bash when it was on power mode but in economy it was fine. That was an EB2 ECU, electronic shift kit and 3.45 diff gears. |

done a boring interior mod the other day
, nothing special, probably a mod thats done to near every box car..loli fitted a ef gear knob i had laying around, except instead of making a longer centre rod and fit the ef knob to the eb shift, i fitted the whole ef shift arm and knob.. this way the shift is shorter and looks a bit neater... before Attachment: DS3.jpg after Attachment: DS3a.jpg

today could have been the end for the ed..
i had the turbo oil return hose fail dumping oil over the turbo manifold, this resulted in epic amounts of smoke and almost set fire to the engine bay.. so the silicon return line is burnt, the turbo outlet silicon joiner is burnt.. looks like i have still got serious heat issues...lol now the car is off the road untill tuesday..
