Wayne: Going to use the steering angle sensor?
(If so can you figure out a calibration please?)
still trying to decipher what it does.
Specifically, (I have not tested it yet) but not sure if it is a digital or analog. If it is digital, how to get a zero out when driving straight. Also how to det if the steering is being turned clockwise or counter clockwise. That is going to be a challenge as it just looks like a simple optical based digital signal. Analog would be cake.
Once I get something, I'll send something over

thats some slick shit you got going on...
Can we have pics of the car all apart dash and stuf?
Hows the wiring coming ? Pain in ass hu?
I want to go standalone oneday How much is all that motec stuff (noisey)
going to put a car pc in ? or just use lappy ?
well the dash out is like any other car out there. Nothing special really. Just without the harness it is ALOT cleaner.
The wiring is not a pain per say, it is more time consuming and takes ALOT of planning (ie working on wiring diagrams, conceptual architechture, and future foresight). In this case, I do how I work in my job,
Visio diagraming, AutoDesk inventor wiring and harness design and excel spread sheets for PIN assignments. The excel spreadsheet is probably the
biggest thing that I would suggest to ANYONE undertaking a project of this magnitude to do. It makes the bridging conceptual to physical easier (not a breeze by any stretch of the imagination though!).
All this MoTeC stuff (alot more that I have note posted) is quite pricey! Probably the cost of the car 4 times over (and I paid $8000 for the Supra back in 1994). Just ask IJ. UpgradedSupra (Duane) or even JT2MA71 (Ron) what their systems cost them. Not cheap but modularity. I like. I buy what I need when I need and install it ANYWHERE in the car. Especially if it is CANBus driven (All MoTeC gear chit chats CANBus as does most OEM stuff in the newer cars
).
As for Car PC. Nope, not really needed
I am one as when the tune is set. You won't find the AEM tommy toggle syndrome here! Set and forget!
