A mate and I have been spending a lot of time, a fair amount of money and huge effort to get our RRC ready for this years Mud Comp in WA.

We only get one comp a year over here at the moment and I'm really pissed off by a supplier of our aftermarket ECU. After 7 weeks, it is still not in WA and have basically told us that it wont be in before the weekend.

Everything else is finished, just need the ECU and time on the dyno.

We are running early model injection set up with a modified distributor from a VT commodore with the ignition and fuel pulse in it. We are using the standard Rangie sendors and TPS. No O2 sensor at the moment but a trip to Repco can fix that. It is a bored and stroked 3.5 taken to 4.6 running around 9.5 to 1 compression. The plan was to run coil packs. We were planning to run a Micro Tech ECU but at the moment I'm not real concerned what we run.

Has any got asny solutions to get it running by this weekend. I am open to ideas, beg, borrow......cost is not the biggest issue at the moment, getting it running by this weekend is.

Cheers.................David

Gas, just wack in an LPG set up, its the safest, easiest thing to get running quickly, without killing you motor due to bad fuelling

Thanks for the replies, gas is not an option as we dont have the room for a tank after bobbing the rear end, and we are trying to stay away from carby set up......that was going to be an absolute last resort.

We have a Wolf ECU being air freighted from Melbourne with a base map loaded in it. Looks like we will be competing :armsup:

I was going to say try a Wolf or a Haltech unit. Good to hear you're on the way.
