I take that back, FreeEMS will be there! In almost-OS style, no less Fred.

Fixed I'll still try to make it, but the ute won't be there, and there won't be a FreeEMS car there unless someone with a B6 or BP car wants to wire their engine up to a db37 with my pinout and let me tune it for them briefly. Any takers? Orion? Thought not. I'll bring the latest souvenir along for a laugh. This engine just didn't handle the torque/boost/power, unlike the last one, which I killed fair and square! This one would have died on MegaSquirt if not for the gapped down plugs which we opened up about 10 pulls through 3rd ago...

Bump: I updated the first post, removed the picture of my gay old MS2 box and replaced it with my Puma FreeEMS box! NEVER will I run MegaSquirt on ANY vehicle again, period. FreeEMS for ever! Fred.

The ute was sideways wildly a few times today, and no MegaSquirt was in sight. It's faster than on the MS bad/2.0 tune now, with NO tune. here is the no tune that its running on: http://stuff.fredcooke.com/FreeEMS.untuned.map.ftw.png Literally untuned! And rapid! I'll try to add a few more features and get the tune smoothed out a bit before the meet, but: I'll be there for sure, unless I get busted on the way. If anyone wants to checkout what FreeEMS is like and can do, be there! Fred.

Depends on the input pattern it has. Most Toyota engines use a dual VR setup. To use that unmodified you would need to add a dual VR conditioner such as the one jbperf.com sells (Jean is a good guy). However you could cut a single tooth off of the 24 and get a 24-1 and run that for COP/Sequential or 24-2/12-1 by grinding two off and get wasted spark/semi sequential on the built in (by me) VR conditioner. I don't know what old toy motors use, though. As for me doing it, I've got too much to do, sorry. As per the thread I can provide info on my mods and setup, but not much more. It's very easy, though. The burger is for the "FreeEMS - that'll be ready in 5 years" comment - how is 2.5 months? As for the "right price" I do want my money out of it, it's worth good cash, and I need that cash to survive while I work on FreeEMS and prepare to either get a job or leave the country (or both). 400usd which is what, 500 or 600nzd? gets you the same thing, without customisations, from diyautotune. If you look on trademe you find v2.2 boards with ms1 cpus for 500ish. Be careful to compare apples with apples. The for sale thread is dead honest. I could have not mentioned the negative stuff without being dishonest. A lot of it is true of all MS units too, anyway. MS2 has a lot better performance than MS1 and the V3.0 board is a lot higher quality than the 2.2 board also. Fred.

Chris, if I manage to show up, you owe me a burger

Got some software issues ironed out tonight Going 4wding till mid day sunday, will be trying to run ute on FreeEMS then. It should run better with a good EMS and some tuning It'll be nice to see the back of the MegaSquirt in the knowledge that the new EMS can only ever get better and better IE, I'll be there on FreeEMS this time, or I'll set off the night before and fucking walk.

Quoted for truth! Can charge batteries and take HD footage this time....

Man, that sucks, rego?/photos?/better description? Bummer about the stagea/key situation too.

Done deal

I took a handful before my fancy camera ran out of juice, I don't think I took any with the little camera, maybe one or two. They were mostly Puma related, though. How do you want them delivered, or shall I just post them up once I get them out of the camera?

You could always ask zep to change it, he can you know

Twas a good fun night! Thanks everyone! Apologies for the missing and bogging and generally shitty running untuned/bad tuned ute... Managed to pull out to the revlimit in 3rd a few times on the way home, but it was hesitant as fuck... Clearly needs new engine management Tomorrow, if I CBF, or maybe a few days later. Fred.

Wicked! FYI: I have also convinced/tried to convince several people to show up with interesting cars Should be a good meet! Fred.

I will be in central Auckland on Saturday for a wedding, and maybe on the shore later that evening for a BBQ/geek meet. I could grab it from Cam if he promises to either tranquilise his dog or tie it up while I'm there, or deliver through 1 inch slot of open car window Otherwise sending it would be fine if you don't mind the expense. Probably wont be out west for a little while, though. Thanks!

Can anyone who is coming to this donate to me/my truck/the FreeEMS project two USB A-B cables and/or one usb mini pcb mount socket? Pretty please! If not coming, eastern suburbs and wanting to checkout the ute near howick is fine too

Who said anything about ME doing it? I was just speculating

No black circuit boards, no black stripes, such a downer, Ned!

Do you think promising burnouts is a way to make more or less people show up?

Intake manifold mods today, running again tomorrow barring unforseen fuckups, hooray

Maybe because thursday is a general purpose OTP night and other stuff might be booked?

I take it that that was before I met you at your work? Hopefully we can cross paths this time too!

Have you ever been? (genuine question)

Yo back! Ute should have an engine back in the bay some time tonight, so a ute appearance with new short stroke 1.8 setup and maybe fancy seats/gauges could be on the cards. I can't promise as I may start it up and have it fall apart/leak/explode/etc. Subscribing to this so that I gt emails the day of the event and can't forget... Fred.
