PLEASE TUNE IT! :-)

The black smoke in the exhaust video is slightly embarrassing for me, and should be considerably embarrassing for you :-)

Love the rev limiter action. You need to raise it to 7500 from the current 5k, tune it up a bit, then repeat :-)

I'm going to post about FreeEMS running a rotary, and link the shoeless video! :-p

Yes, by sound, smell and sight, the way all initial tuning is done. Widebands don't work at the extremes.

AE111 Carib sitting in my driveway.... pretty sure the fiance would castrate me if I pull the daily driver apart though hah!

Nice work! I assume stock trigger in dizzy? I actually have another Blacktop sitting in the shed for a rainy day (or spare for Carib...) - I should get it to put to use, possibly on a stand with wheels, that would be handy hmm...

And just dangle the wideband sensor infront of a port, it'll work mint as bro :roll: :lol2:

Welcome, Nige! Thanks for the detailed intro, too :-) I de-n00bed you.

Re the Carib, get an old ECU, gut it, retro fit hw inside the case, and PNP it, if you want ;-)

BTW, that silver top and frame AFAIK is in the 'naki with you. Maybe you should organise to borrow it and do tests for me. Preston never does anything anymore, sadly.

De-noobed haha.

Yeah, I always planned to PnP it with whatever I use.

Interesting it's nearby.... I may have to get in touch (or if you can put me in touch), effort halved is after all... less effort. I'm all about working smarter ;) Even if we managed to organise a day on a weekend here and there to test things, that would still be progress.

Trouble is he's doing long hours and flying to weird places a lot. I'll send you a PM with more info. :-)
