SSM II's log data. The original SSM's do not.

and what would it take to get the original SSM's to log data? Is there an output serial port?

-Bill (thinking we may be looking at "visual data logging" here

)

you own one...do you see a serial port on it?

This thread has finally pushed me over the edge...

I'm putting a distributor with points and a vacuum advance on my car. Then I'll set fire to the ECU and dance around it.

Patrick,

It is difficult to deny that you have made a perfectly logical decision.

Tony

To be completely honest. An engine dyno would be the most logical way to tune the ECU just as it was done by Fuji. But the practicality of something like that for us "small timers" is not foreseeable. So we must work from what is in front of us. We are still in the developing phase of our shop here so we cannot only afford the costs of full ECU development, either standalone or stock, but we cannot afford the time it will take as of the immediate. Keep your pants on, we are not going anywhere and there will be more to come for us in the future as long as we don't settle on what we can get our hands on immediately.

John in Scotland with the lovely graphite SVX [blueji], his is driven by steam, he reckons.

My daughter has a 1974 bug and I pry every day that it had a ECU, its such a pain I am putting electronic ignition so the points don't give me any more grieve.

Trust me Tony, I have spent years with contact ignition. Something is basically very wrong with that bugger of a bug. Possibly the condenser/capacitor.

Alright guys, I'm sorry for the wait... I'm going down to wilmington tomorrow to cut someone's balls off (and get the Dyno results)...

In the meantime though... Maybe a video will help to make up for the lask of numbers?

Another video... More OT this time...

After the meet I was trying to explain the differences in properties of liquids and gasses (mainly how gas can be compressed and liquid can't... Basic physics 101 stuff)... So after a few beers I decided to give a practical example and then explain what actually happened... Here's the example (which every single one of them thought was impossible when I told them what I was gonna do)...

But... liquid DOES compress...

if only at a very small measurment.

Ok, well I was trying to aviod being super critical with my description of basic fluid dynamics. Anyhow, I managed to get my point across to "non-college types" so I considered it a success...

AND NOW.... The long awaited dyno plots...!!

- Please DON'T post until there are a total of 8 (EIGHT) seperate dyno plots up... THANKS!!

First Run... Stock ECU
