Rubber sheet that fits over the airbox lid
Sun 30 Oct 2011 Filed in: Drawing
I finally got round to flattening out this rubber sheet, scanning it and drawing around it in CAD.
Here is the 2D .dxf file, contact me if you want it in another format.

Replacement exhaust #4
Fri 21 Oct 2011 Filed in: Exhaust
This is the start of a CAD model which is based on my prototype collector, and this drawing is my way of working out what angle & length mandrel bends I need to fabricate a 4-2-1 collector to replace the catalytic converter. The front pipe merge collectors are well sorted, just got to do a little more work on two of the three remaining bends.
Looks ever more promising, as I have found a mandrel bender near me too.
How to fit a one piece exhaust to a GTS1000.

This has to be the easiest way to fit a one piece exhaust... jack it up with an engine crane like this
Undo the front swingarm bolts and pull the arm out of the way, and just strap it up to something nearby, like this and this.
and when it's done...it looks like this.
Total time probably less than an hour and a half.

Replacement exhaust #3

Finally got round to finishing this, only get one day in seven to play at the moment. To be honest, it needs a little more work, more polishing etc, slight tweak to the final bend after the collector, before I make the final version for the GTS.
Awaiting some feedback from the local tube benders, as to what they can do for me, and talked it over with the stainless steel welder/fabricator... Will start a jig once, I know what these can do. Definitely looking at four separate downpipes though, as pulling the front arm away is more work then it needs to be.
Will be using larger primary/headers/downpipes to suit higher performance applications, but it will not be detrimental for stock ones either.

MicroSquirt Module
Tue 30 Mar 2010 Filed in: MicroSquirt
This is an FJ1200 ABS ECU case after the circuit board is removed. It is fitted with a cut down DIY Autotune PNP Nippon Denso Board adapter, that fits my cut down Toyota female connector, that incidentally matches the GTS1000 wiring loom connectors. On the right is the MicroSquirt Module, a lower cost version of the cased MicroSquirt, that allows for a few extra pin outs. When this is combined with the MSExtra code, it will give me 4 ignition outputs and four injection outputs.
I need to combine this with a driver board, so I have squeezed Jean Belanger's from www.jbperf.com excellent 4x4 board into the space available at the bottom. The image below represents a dry fit, just to check the spatial requirements, and is missing the RXTX serial connector & a discreet bootload switch for programming the device.
Definitely not bad compared to the OEM ECU package, and much more capable, in a smaller package.
