11 o clock Friday (tomorrow) I'll let you lot know by 1. If you don't hear from me tell my dog I do love him  :o :o. Mapping isn't quite right still but I do need an experienced hand to hold to finish it off. I've got it cock on from idle to 3k RPM. Then it plays about till about 4.8k RPM then it goes like a greased rat up a drain pipe till the red line. It's better at smaller throttle openings and mustard at WOT it's just the last third of the throttle when above 3k.

Right, What a work up. As expected it failed. Inspector was very picky but also very very helpful. So things he didn't like.
Tank mounting bolts. I used 30 mm washer as per the code. However they weren't 1.5 mm thick. He wanted me to use load distributor bars. Mounting bolts for the straps were very very close to the tank. He wanted me to put some rubber between the frame and the tank. Boot on back of filler, I had zippy tied it.  My bad don't know what I was thinking. Gas ECU mounting, not substantial and to low. Gas injector wires running across plenum, Wanted extra protection in case they rubbed threw. So as you can see nothing major but still a bit of ballsache. I got the load spreaders from him and an old inner tube to use for the frame to tank. Legged it home and put it right and at 5 PM it passed.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

I have to thank everybody on here for all the help. I couldn't of done it without you guys. Sometimes it was only the cool heads in here which stopped me from throwing it in and selling the car part finished. Now after a final mapping I can say it is finally finished. Paul your knowledge is second to none and I couldn't of done it without your telephone hot wire service!!!! Kev. Thanks so much for drilling my manifold. If it had been left to me it would of gone Pete Tong I'm sure. Al. For coming round with his kit and showing me all the connections so I could see what the theory actually looked like. And to all the rest of you who helped in all manner of ways even down to the piss taking. I salute you all  :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y

Brilliant news :y

My first conversion, as regulars will remember, was also a saga - possibly moreso than yours - but thats all forgotten about now.

Enjoy. And save.

The petrol ECU wiring between 3.0 and 3.2 is very different but it's all covered in the guides. Other than that, should be the same. :y

Biggest problem, assuming it's the BRC kit, will be software and lead for the setup.
