Barry Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Decided to pack up on the way home from the meet round at Matts yesterday! Cruising along at 90, decided to put my foot down on a nice straight, got to just under 115 on the speedo and it just stopped! engine cut for about a second and then started again!

Terminator Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Bad luck Barry. On the upside, atleast you were not going for a kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted October 21, 2002 Author Share Posted October 21, 2002 Thats true. Are they hard to fit? I imagine that as there is one in place already I can just buy another and replace it!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Contact Pete at TRL, if he is not changing nappies he will sort you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Any idea what kind of delimeter you have? The HKS one for the auto box has a gazillion wires (well, about 16 actually). Access to the wiring diagrams on MKIV.com, plus experience with a soldering iron should be all that's required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 That car has a TRL one fitted, something i do remember from my time getting intimant with the ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Buy a performance meter like the Apex RSM-GP and you can de-limit speedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 F*ck, Sh1t, Balls... Mine's just done the same thing on the way into work. There I was, poodling down the outside lane of the M20 at 110 following a Beemer, Bm moves out the way, I go to overtake, then stop overtaking, then start overtaking, then.... Bo11ox, Just what I need a few days before going to Elvington... Pete... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 I thought I'd pull the dash apart in the hope of finding something obvious. There wasn't. However, I removed the little converter box's power and earth, left them off for about 10 minutes, then put it all back together. When I took the car for a test drive, everything was ok again weird! - The only possible thing I can think of that may be relative is that I had a flat battery yesterday and then jumpstarted the car. - I guess it had locked up. Anyway, back on track for Elvington so I'm happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 My TRL delimiter did that this summer, just stopped working but re-set after ignition was off for a while. Pete, are you there, put that sprog down and deal with something really important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I'm here! Whats the problem. You can always contact me direct on [email protected] If there is any problem with the DSC SLD delimiters then please let me know. I'm more than happy to sort it out. Also make sure that it is the speed delimiter and not your spark plugs breaking down at high boost. Easiest way is to accelerate slowly over 112mph. If it goes above it's likely to be another cause. I'm not saying it's not the DSC SLD but you never know. Anyway if you have any problems with any of my stuff please let me know. I cannot make it better for your or the next man if no ones says anything to me directly. The DSC SLD's did have a problem earlier on in the year when they would break down (or rather the outputs would suddenly stop) and reset after a power cycle, I made a hardware mod which I hope has cured this, for most people this may only be a reprogram of the hardware and others might be a replacement unit. Please let me know. I want to produce quality gear and give you good customer service so don't be shy. Pete ps don't assume I'm always on this list, depends if I have a nappy free hand!!! You can always get me direct via email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 ......., depends if I have a nappy free hand!!! That USED to be, if you had a Soldering Hand free ! ! How times change....... Fat S. (ps. mine's still OK so far Pete - tested Fuel-Cut/De-limiter/speedo conversion up to ~ind' 165*** Sunday....... Only my underpants broke down 'Under Load' ! !) (pps. I'm DETERMINED to squeeze my hand up under the dash and reach the Cruise Control box to '5:8' the signal but it's a tight bl**dy cranny - 75*** is just not enough for cruise, you need ~80/90 to be really useful) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kindell Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I've got the HKS SLD and that plays up from time to time its a real pita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted October 26, 2002 Author Share Posted October 26, 2002 Well, it now seems to have fixed its self.! Just got upto 140 without any trouble, but got a lovely slide when I hit the second turbo in 2nd gear.! Wet road and 5% slip on the RLTC dont go together too well, must remember to flick it to WET!! I think thats the only bad thing about the RLTC, its not illuminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
