That is really impressive, fair play to them, sounds like a quality outfit.

Great news Mark. Get out there and enjoy it

Already have been - goes like shite off a shovel. Marvellous.

I don't know if the improved speed sensor feedback has had more of an effect but the idle seems to be steadier. Still going to tweak it a bit along with the startup enrichment though.

Congrats Mark, these modern ECUs really sharpen up the responses. Btw Is your Canems setup for sequential injection?

Must admit I'm not entirely sure - I think so. I believe it's semi-sequential:-

"The three ignition outputs from the ECU fire in sequential order, starting with number one"

Is there a cam sensor ? Or something to differentiate which crank cycle it's on ? 3 ignition outputs suggests wasted spark ignition, otherwise you'd have 6 ignition outputs.

Don't think there is a cam sensor. It re-uses all the existing sensors and I don't think there is one on the stock setup.

I think it fires in 3 pairs. How it knows which crank cycle it's on I don't know - it does have a TDC feeding into it so maybe it's from that.

I'm at or just beyond the limit of my knowledge now though

Two crank sensor on yours so non-sequential. Needs a sensor to figure where the cam is. So the spark is "wasted", & fires on compression and exhaust TDC but linking pairs of plugs. The main advantage of sequential is injecting fuel for only the helpful part of the cycle so less waste and better mixing of air / fuel

Great news that you have got in sorted Mark. Will be interesting to find out what the bhp figure is now.

Thanks John

Looking forward to getting the parts in and raising the spindles as well
