those speeds on public roads with that many cars is sheer stupidity..

Record for smashing the most plantery's? Danny.

codes can be cleared

Another downside to the VIA Epia motherboards is that they only have one PCI slot. Also only a few of them have a COM port which is needed for the OBD.So you could only have 1 add on - TV Tuner or Wireless Internet or OBD etc. Not both or all 3. (Unless of course you got an external TV Tuner etc) but then you would need a USB hub, and again your talking about more money. Panda ← that's right.. but I've never been a fan of TV in the car when you have heaps of video files and mp3 files d

Yes, in NSW, forgot the company name now. But I was referring to reflashing via the obd2 port. This company most likey uses the BDM interface to reflash the rom.. hense bypassing the security on the obd2 port. d.

There is only SCT who have included the Australian cars. There are a handful of american companies who also reprogram using the obd2 port. the XEDE is just a signal bender. doesnt actually modify the PCM in anyway.. Very limited in what they do. My assumption is that the Edit related warentee claims are low. And regardless on how tight security lengths they go to, someone will still hack it. Danny.

lol.. Score! Fat Tony - 1 Envy-t - 0

You have a ute. which doesnt have a petrol tank the shape of a staircase... D.

Ask yourself this... Why are companies like SCT the only company able to reprogram these vehicles.. It all comes down to the Security behind the CAN protocol.. namely the Seed/Key algorithm they use to "enable" reflashing. For comparison, the LS1 PCM has a 4 byte Seed and key, and its a static seed. Ie, the seed and key are hard coded in the flash. So, for every seed, there is 1 out of 65535 chance of getting the correct key response to unlock it. The Blackoak Ford PCM uses a 6 byte Rolling seed / key algorithm. that's 16,777,215 possibilities.. yes. 16 million. If you get it wrong, the PCM presents you with a different seed. So realistically, you have 1 in 281,474,943,156,225 chance in getting it right.. How did they do it? My guess is that they "sniffed" a ford pcm flash routine done by a WDS unit or the likes, and reverse engineered the binary file back into asm. They would have traced through the program until they discovered the seed / key algorithm. Not for the faint hearted.. So.. Having a Standard connector, or a newly pateted connector would not stop anybody. By law, all cars will need to be fitted with a OBD2 connector to allow Diagnostic tools to be plugged in. d.

Hi Robin... What you do for a living? You sound like the engineers where I work work..... Helmholtz resonance this hammershock that.. lol ;P danny.

I guess, valve spring makes sense... But actuator.. interesting! I have heard comments changing the actuator controls boost much better d.

I've had mine surge / ping with fuel surge.. around 1/3 of a tank of fuel or less.. Pain in the bloody arse... A surge tank willf ix problem with something like a bosch 044 pump driving it to the injectors.. d

Yer.. didnt find it.. bugger but never the less, if you use a VIA Epia board, you have no agp for ArcadeVga.. so a convertor is required.. d

So Kewish are quoting 450rwkw with a rebuilt auto....? What are they doing about the planetry gears ? That essentially is the weak spot. I believe Craig has broken these a number of times .. Whats current status of this? Danny.

Guys.. Question.. I notice both of you are making over 260rwkw, so you both had injectors done.. But, why is the boost not holding all the way from 15psi all the way thru the rev range.. I can understand why you would ramp it down to like 9psi if you had standard injectors.... What am I missing ??? Trying to protect conrods? Because personally if that's the case, its the Hard hitting boost which bends/breaks the rods, Not the total power.. .. you could run 350rwkw with standard rods, as long as the boost came in gently.. d

http://www.highway.net.au/parts/converters/2019.html that's the baby I have... but, I didnt pay that much for it (sourced it else where.. cant find the site atm)..

woah.. 200us... you can source similar for $90AU

VIA EPIA Main boards.. http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/

Better MB to use would be one of the VIA mini boards.. got a C3 1.3ghz procesor. more than enough power. has vga out, svideo out, and video out.. has onboard sound and lan, you cant use the arcadevga, but you can get a convertor box to convert 32khz signal to 15khz for around $90.. better than a $150 Arcade Vga card (it wont plug into the via board anyways).. Oh, and highly recommend a Laptop hdd,. not a normal 3.5" hdd. they aint designed for mobile environments, and every car pc I've seen installed with the 3.5" have failed.. Only a matter of time.. and, best solution would be a touchscreen membrane over the original ford ICC unit.. I have done it. but its a pain in the arse... d

pics?

it also looks like they done it with a wet sponge... The "black fill" is too clear to be done by hand.. But its priceless never the less.. Danny.

might have to pull icc out to see what TSOP it has.. and see if there is any interface circuitry inbetween which I doubt.. Danny.

Know this is a old thread, but has anyone managed to get the IR reciever in the ICC hooked up? Do we know if its a 38khz tsop or something else ? thanks D.

ahhh.. And just what we're missing from out cruse events...
