Re: Project Frankenstein - full ECU shield

So I originally planned for a 75C, and this lower temperature chip would drop that to 35C, so I would expect you will either need a heat sink, or you'll need to draw significantly less than .125A. Just lerking here and am curious if you think this will affect me KB? Summer can easy hit 44C and then...

Re: 1993 Holden Commodore VR Ute Australian

You would not need 5v power supply because the kit contains all the parts you need to make a power supply on the board. You would need about a 100 resistors, something like http://www.ebay.com/itm/2300pcs-SMD-0805-0-10M-50value-Resistor-2-2pf-1uf-40value-Capacitor-Kit-Set-/110941312626 would cover ...

Re: 1993 Holden Commodore VR Ute Australian

Thanks Mate, I was taken aback when I had seen this as diesel only injects the cylinder that is at TDC compression stroke with timing of course.
