• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    1985 Honda GL1200 Limited Edition Computerized Fuel Injection System Upgrade

    What I usually do is I query one chat for info, and another to review and find errors in reasoning. I didn't know motorbikes have MAP with higher kPa scale. Nice to know. Once I start the project and will have my reading, maybe I will use a hybrid approach to VE tables like you - makes perfect...

    1985 Honda GL1200 Limited Edition Computerized Fuel Injection System Upgrade

    Using parts with no data is risky, especially clones with unknown source. The problem is not only time but reliability which in diy projects is a must for individual parts. Troubleshooting problems when parts fail on you during testing of system when new part has been added can cause a headache...

    1985 Honda GL1200 Limited Edition Computerized Fuel Injection System Upgrade

    I've used 2 wire bosch 0280140516 for IAC on my other project. I'm trying to put ITBs from gsgr on old Prelude and this will cause a whole kind of issues all over the place. My choice was rusEFI as standalone. Fuel system will be changed, ignition as well. That is why I'm asking questions...

    What is the exact reason why shielded was used? Isn't MAP analog voltage based? This would suggest it is not prone to noise. Why WOT so fast? What is your current rev limit? Do you use any knock sensor on the motor?

    Regarding fuel pressure logging - wow was my initial reaction. Normally fluctuations should be minimal with proper regulator, but with my project on old Honda I also wanted to track fuel pressure just for fun :). Tuning standard motor in general allows usually for better response in lower RPM...

    1985 Honda GL1200 Limited Edition Computerized Fuel Injection System Upgrade

    Wow. Do you have info how big of a difference can be in fuel pressure? I would think that overpressured fuel is directed back to tank and actual pressure to injectors will always be the same, but it's not the case?

    1985 Honda GL1200 Limited Edition Computerized Fuel Injection System Upgrade

    I remember that some time ago having two 02 sensors was a major limitation when selecting a new ECU. Was there any problem in selecting new injectors, like depth or injecting angle, or was this change a simple swap in terms of only the "physical" part of the process?

    It would be very interesting to learn from You how to aproach that kind of modification. I've been thinking about going EFI on carb motor for some time. Older bikes are mostly much cheaper than newer but offer usually same experience with some love added to them. Let me know once you create the...

    I've received a PM and just of curiosity I've check my thread. My god, it been more than two years now. Sorry for not responding, probably notification ended in Spam folder. I've been thinking about megasquirt so many times, wiring is always a headache so I decided to keep it as is until...

    I've finished the subframe for holding the plastic side parts and most importantly, the oil cooler and radiator. I have a small shop nearby which powder coats rims and they've been able to fit my frame into their oven, so they powder coated some stuff for me. I've resized images to 800x600 but...

    It is frustrating quite often when thing go wrong, many times multiple things in a row. But it makes me happy when I read such kind words :). When I sometimes question this whole project, small things like that allow me to keep going. So, back to the topic :). I've made some calls to spring...

    I've made measurement with new bar with test 1 and it's not as good as I was expecting originally but in line with test 2. Basically it will be around 30% stiffer than original, but still far from 100%. I will try to look for 15mm and 16mm bars online. For bending I've used hydraulic tube...

    I've made some tests on a standard sway bar. I've checked how much it rotates on its own axis when 10kg is applied at the end. Red square indicates the part which is held by the vice. Green indicates steel plates which are holding the sway bar where the blue lines are. Thicker green line...

    RT rescued from graveyard

    After couple of rides, I've decided to stiffen the front end a little bit. Fox suspension is great, and I wouldn't like to change how it behaves on uneven roads, but there is too much swinging from left to right during normal riding, and especially on long turns. My wife hates it when the Spyder...

    Don't forget there is separate sensor for turn angle below DPS - its message id is 0x0C3. I would assume this is used to sense when steering is straight again. You could always disconnect DPS for a moment and check if cancellation still happpens. Unfortunately I will be away for a week because...
