****, I'm not even a K-Jet guy and I would love to hear more about how that Motec is wired to the control pressure.

Any plans to race at Eastern Creek again? or even Bathurst? It would be awesome to come see the car in action.
I haven't heard of this previously, what's the thought process behind it? Thanks!

Gp-A K-Jetronic A/F ratio control
The Gp-A K-Jetronic setup has a manually adjusted control pressure regulator, plus a fuel injector which when pulsed by the ECU "bleeds off" control pressure, reducing flapper stiffness and hence flowing more fuel for a given airflow = fuel enrichment.
The UT-CIS should do exactly this in a cost effective way. I tried it a couple of years back, but couldn't get a clean rpm signal, and Unwired Tools were at that time very little help. I hope they do better now, as it looks the ideal way to tame K-Jet for turbo applications.

Yes, from 2.40-3.20 the BMW is working past the 240T. A couple of laps later (just after the still above) the 240T re-passed the BMW over Skyline into the dipper.
After years of mid-field running, it was great to see.

I still think you can make a megasquirt do the same thing for half the price...

Oz Gp-A 240T
The moment of truth is arriving. Robbie Francevic will be in Sydney from NZ next Friday to test the Hazelton 240T at Eastern Creek Raceway, just 3 weeks before Muscle Car Masters on 3-4 September.
25th anniversary of Robbie's victory in the 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship. I have a camera crew lined up to record testing, practice and the event. Let's hope for a piece of motorsport history.
