Perfect donor for a Cosworth BOA / BOB engine swap, the engine should bolt up to the manual gearbox. I have looked into Ford Sierra XR4i's as they are the perfect donor for a Cosworth BOA / BOB engine. The Cosworth V6 is very cheap and easy to find, but they were only available with an automatic gea...

Offtopic: I really like the new FTDI FT230XS bare-bones USB -> Serial chip. Very simple BOM: only need decoupling / filtering and Windows finds drivers automagically. Also in DIY friendly SSOP package. My standard choice now

Ontopic: Does the car run fuel injection yet ?

If any SMD soldering is needed: I do have time and skill to help out on that part

The way I 'read' the schematic, it will protect the +5vSwitched from over voltage (and, as has been mentioned, the 5v6 Zener looks somewhat superfluous now). However, it will NOT protect the +5vTPS and +5vAux lines at all. Correct, as the +5V TPS and +5V AUX lines go directly to the connector to th...

Huff/Fred/Others, Corrected schematic for you! http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x115/ae86dragracer/Idea3_zps79d4079a.png Cheers, Dan With this schematic I think the 5v6 zener can be omitted as it will never come into action If I get this correctly the TIP42 is secured by the polyfuse ? Because th...

Fred.

I think malcom2073's releases are built for release version of the QT lib, while your build are most likely built for debug version of QT Lib.
Are you sure you have the release version of QT lib as well ?

Thanks! Do you have any thoughts/feedback on my dual Zener plus current limit idea? I must check tolerances on Zener diodes and Current / voltage diagrams to see how much a 5V1 Zener leaks at 5V If the 5V1 zener leaks and dissipates more than 50mW it will mean extra heat in the box, which is someth...

Cool idea, I had the same idea some time ago and then basically thought: "It will take too much time" I think you experienced that ;) Nice you kept going. For the design I have some questions: Why a 5V power supply ? A 3.3V power supply seems much more logical to me as the dissipation in t...

I do not want to be rude but....do you know the MC34152 features a undervoltage lockout at 5.8V?

The TL-431 is the most used programmable shunt regulator
