HI PSI

I called FPV Joe today and he suggested that I try connecting a scan tool. He wasn't particularly optimistic about the success rate, but I will give it a shot. Joe also recommended that I contact ASL Logistics and discuss my problem with them. I called ASL and they stated that they could reprogram the ACM (Audio control module), which will remove the security code issue. ASL suggested that I send the ACM only (Not the whole ICC) and quoted $90 plus return freight. I am SO relieved that the issue can be rectified and that it is a simple fix.. Well, I know what I'll be doing late this arvo (removing the ICC)..... Thanks to all that replied. Your input and advice is greatly appreciated. I hope that this thread will help other members with their future endeavors. Brad

Thank you VERY much. It certainly sounds like he knows his stuff. I'll call tomorrow Thanks again..

Thanks guys... Anyone got a contact number for guy that does ICC conversions - Mr FPV?

Hi all, as many of you are aware, I not run a stand alone Elite 2500 and the factory engine management has been removed completely. To my knowledge all off the Canbus is still wired and connected. However, the ICC screen now has the "Security code" of death on the screen. The car starts and does everything else, that it should. But I'd like everything to run properly. So, the question is, can the security code issue be removed by disabling PATS? If I'm on the right path, can this still be done without the factory EMS? Or is there another method? Can this be done with a Snap-on scanner, or through VCM Suite etc. Thanks in advance for your assiatance...

No, it's Lionel's new dyno. He's near the Oaks on the way to Yeppoon.

I'm home tomorrow. I'll take a pic of the spring and hopefully a part number.

They are pretty stiff. You will have problems with the rear springs sagging. I replaced two sets before going with a spring that Ralph recommended. Haven't had a problem since.

No windage tray????

I now understand why you missed out on the set of rear Brembo brakes....

THIS

I saw a sequential toploader for sale on Facebook today.

Pulled the column apart today. The rear of the ignition had fallen out of the barrel. I probably could have put it back in and bent the retaining tabs back again. But, I decided to replace it all anyway. Overall, it took me around 40 minutes in total. The ignition still feels a little ordinary, but I think that the adjacent side needs some lube. I'l' get some graphite when I get a chance. Overall, I'm ver happy with the outcome.. Old Ignition New cup installed. I have had considerable problems with the shifter and I have removed it completely. I contacted Simon today and we think that there is a variation on the shift position or shifter height in my Magnum, which is causing problems with clearances when changing gears. He's going to SEMA at the end of the month and he's agreed to fly up, so that he may identify and rectify the issue. I'm hoping to this can be rectified some time early in November. For the interim period, I'll be installing the original Ultimate Street shifter, so that I can it for a drive. It's been 11 months since it last saw bitumen and I really just want to enjoy it for a while... I sometimes think that I am cursed. It seems that I can never catch a break and if anything can go wrong, it will. Oh well, I guess that's just a part of the build process. It will be nice when I am able to just get in it and enjoy it.

Every component (Even down to bolts) from the Intercooler back is brand new, except for the diff centre. I have a new Trutrac sitting on the shelf... Lol New leather seats, bodykit, bonnet, boot lid and wheels also.. Not much of the original car left... Not much of a bank balance left either.... But It will be a LOT of fun...

I'll have a look at it. But I'd rather fix the issue once and for all. Considering the build so far, the cost is negligible. To me, it will be worth every cent just to have the peace of mind, knowing that it repaired and reliable. Thanks for you kind comment, 4321. It has been a long drawn out journey and it really should have been completed over a year ago. I lost interest there for a long time, but I did to use the time to upgrade it some more. I'll get back in to it when the ignition is repaired. On another note, my engine guy has just purchased a new hub dyno. It's now convenient for me to finalise everything (tune) and I'm looking forward to seeing what she pushes... My wiring guyvjust messaged me and said: "Haltech has released a new up date some way cool sh*t for flat shift and the like still no cruise control though haha". It'll be interesting to see what they have upgraded.

I think that it is the normal problem that they have. With the starting to not return to its position. It had progressively worsened over time, to the point where its range increased and you could not tell what position it was in. Now it has failed completely and I have no accessories, ignition or start. As stated in my previoue post, In have purchased two new barrel shells and a puller from these guys. Ignition barrel repair components and puller. The components look to be good quality and being able to do it in car sold me.... I'll post an update when I repair the barrel.

I went to work on the car and the ignition barrel has completely failed. So, I've ordered a Ford ignition switch replacement kit, with removal tool and additional barrel. Fingers crossed that it will be here in a few days. As the car has been sitting unstarted for 3 weeks, with E85 in the tank...

Thank you very much. Pm sent.

Thanks mate, I sincerely appreciate the feedback It's been a long journey and the end is in sight. But, I do have tendency to regularly move the goal posts. There will be some interesting updates in the next month.... Got the car back from the wiring guy and the shifter is broken. The shifter was blatantly abused and failed as a result. The failure was in no way a result of the shifters quality or design. It has been removed and feigned to S1 Sequential for repair. The sh On another note, I must say that the support and after sales service grim Simon @ S1 had been outstanding. He has gone above and beyond in all aspect in that area. It's refreshing and greatly appreciated.

Yes, he was pulling the engine the last time that we spoke...

Any problems with the engine mate?

Thank you SO much. It will be extremely beneficial for when I get the car back next week.

PM sent.

Thank you. I'd really appreciate that.

Alternately, if anyone has a tune file for the new Barra plug and play Elite map...

Could someone please post some screenshots of the a standard BF F6 intake and exhaust cam target angle tables? As I no longer have access to HP tuners and I would like to assess the data? Cheers Brad
