I popped into Jaycar yesterday and purchased the kits for;
The Independant Electronic Boost Controller [img][url="http://www1.jaycar.com.au/products_uploaded/productLarge_7575.jpg%5b/img"]]http://www1.jaycar.com.au/products_uploade..._7575.jpg[/img][/url] Digital Fuel Adjuster
The Hand Controller for Digital Projects
And the RS232 cable to join the Hand Controller for mapping/programming
It has been about 3 years since I built my last electronics kit (a 400 watt sub woofer amp and processor for the home stereo). So I figured I would start with the easy one, the Hand Controller. Instructions where very explicit, quite easy to read and the pictures are very clear. Certainly a big improvement over the DJ stuff (sound and light) that I used to build to help pay the uni fees. Including reading the instructions and the basic electronic theory, it took me less than 2 hours to build the Hand Controller. I will post up some pictures tonight. -------------------- I don't own or work for a workshop and I don't know everything.

Watching keenly, been tempted to purchase these kits for awhile.
What solenoid would be suitable for the boost controller for cars that arent fitted with one? AKA cef. |

So is that where you got your nick name from ? From the old DJ years
But seriously, it'll be interesting to see how these go. JE has put together a heap of good kits for Jaycar, so they should work well. J |

Believe it or not, the solenoid Sillycoon Chump recommend is the Nissan, just like the one on the Stagea. The instructions even have a picture of it. So stick up a "wanted" on the forum, there are plenty of R33 GTST's with EBC's that aren't using their standard solenoids. Shoot why did I say that, now the price will go up. Just like the R32 GTST wastegate actuators, they used to be cheap and plentiful until I opened my big mouth:kick: -------------------- I don't own or work for a workshop and I don't know everything.

Sneaky bugger SK, hiding this in Stagea.
Looking forward to the results, and I'll be keeping my solenoids -------------------- REPORT THAT ENGINE FAILURE!

I've just ordered a throttle position sensor kit as well from the wholesaler that jaycar buys from. As much as I think Julian's an eccentric english teacher, I really wanna try out his intelligent BOV design.
If anyone needs jaycar kits at wholesale prices then let me know. I don't mind helpin out an SAU hobbyist. -------------------- ![]() < shan :: forum administrator :: team super fun happy sliders > SPONSOR MY EPIC MO IT WILL BE FUCKING MANLY AND STUFF |

A quick picture of the Jaycar Hand Controller on the ashtray lid, can still get to the power socket. Looks OK, easy to mount, bit of velcro on the ashtray lid, some on the back of the controller. It will then be low enough to allow the cup holder to function as normal.
But when I add the RS232 cable..........the plug is nearly as big as the controller itself.
There must be an RS232 flat cable, with a small plug, preferably black. So I can tuck it back behind the controller and in through the ashtray. I asked the Jaycar guys and they didn't have such a cable in their cattledog. Some of the computer experts out there may know of a cable that may be suitable. -------------------- I don't own or work for a workshop and I don't know everything.

SK - I think the best way to go WRT cable - is to get a DB25 to DB9 flat converter. Then you get a small DB9 to UTP converter - Run UTP from the HC to the fuel computer and use what ever cables you want at the FC end. It's still going to be a bit cumbersome.
Maybe replace the DB25 on the HC with a UTP connector ? I've been eyeing those Jaycar kits for ages - Will keen to know the results. Cheers, -------------------- No more: Cosmo, R32 GTS-4. 500HP R33 Beast, RX7, Swift GTI, 200SX, VT SS, VN 5.0L, AE86 Rolla, Merc,

Cheers, I'll have to check the circuit diagram, but I was told by the Jaycar guys that the communication was 2 way and used a number of discreet connections. I took that to mean I couldn't combine any wiring and had to run 25 discreet links. JE used a flat cable I noticed in the test photos. Looked like the ribbon cable that I use to connect hard drives to mother boards in the PC. I'll find the photo scan it and stick it up over the weekend. -------------------- I don't own or work for a workshop and I don't know everything.
