Terrano tuning

[george]

Hi George, I would be keen to learn more about this. [email protected]

I also would like to purchase a tuning box if you are prepared to send to NZ at my cost. if that was something we could work out then PM or email me please.


regards
Dave

Hi I am no longer selling them... I am happy to send you the pics of where to install a 1k pot to get the same results cheers

One of the wires looks quite yellow but I think it might be more of a white, the pins are numbered on the inside of the plug too Clive. Ignore the Scotch clip wire thingys, they were supposed to be temporary until I decided whether I liked it or not, I have discovered some really good connectors today though, I'm gonna post them eksewhere :thumb2

Is your switch inside Doug or is it under the bonnet?

It's Inside

Yeh its inside, I forgot to take a pic but will tomorrow. Been busy today but will hopefully get time to get a few better pics of the wiring too :thumb2

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

Hopefully you can see in this pic that the wires are not cut but spliced into....

If you get over ambitious about turning it up, does it put the truck into limp mode?

Yes, a quick flick of the ignition on and off sorts it. I has to be up very very high though, much higher than I have it.

Sorry for all the questions... I am trying to decide how best to have a play with this... how much do you normally turn it? e.g. much past the half way point, or is it only really in the first half of it?

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

This is off, it turns anti clockwise and does not do a full revolution, about half/two thirds....

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

This is full, I never drive it like this, not even sure it would drive like this....

Well I got 5 mins today and this..


All eventually turned into this...


I wired it up as per George's diagram and f**k me this thing shifts, I put a 270 ohm resistor in to stop the resistance dropping too much but on max its immense. No ill effects so far apart from cooking my brakes lol. Well worth it.

Just watch your clutch :naughty

 

[luke1987]

Im ok i have a 3 ltr clutch but i reckon with a standard it would be slipping hats off to George for sharing this info.

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

Does it affect your tickover Luke?

 

[stevew]

hey George could you email me the info please?
[email protected]
ive been trying to make a maf amp for awhile looks a similar idea but way too complicated this seems a lot easier :thumbs
thanks

 

[luke1987]

Does it affect your tickover Luke?

Yes it rises by about 200 rpm. Im going to get an egt gauge i think so i know how hot things are getting.

You can add a micro switch to your throttle peddle. Just piggy back it onto the existing one.
That way at tick over ( foot off throttle) it's off, apply foot to peddle and boom off you go.
Saves all that high reving tick over stuff
There's a bunch of pics of mine but that there photobucket kind of spoiled the details
