boost monkey 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Doug, are you able to use capture point and scan into a CAD format for computer modelling? What do you use at the mo for CAD ( I assume the ninja star by your TB was a CAD item!) Cheers, Jon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Surprised MRC didnt want to tune it....have you tried Ben at Revo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribetype40 0 Posted August 18, 2011 No, not tried anyone else atm and pretty much made my mind up to go for it myself. I think I'm getting the gist of it the more I read and the mouse has been hanging over the purchase button on a few websites already! think I'm going to go for one of these.. http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/kits.php ($299) between this and vagcom I'll be able to log all the data I need. off to look for the bits req'd to read and write the chips. I think I'll also bust the ecu open tomorrow and take a look, would be nice if it has been chipped in the past and already has the socket soldered in.... if im lucky! ;-) Boost monkey, cheers for the comments. As for the scanning stuff thats exactly what you can do, but the 'ninja star' adapter was easier to just measure up with a vernier and draw it up. The rollcage is where it really comes in useful.

boost monkey 0 Posted August 18, 2011 I'd love to make a CAD model of a whole Corrado but at 750 a side, I don't think I could afford your rates...! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribetype40 0 Posted August 25, 2011 Well, I had a peek in the ecu today and i wasn't lucky. I will need to carefully desolder the chip from the ecu! still a good excuse to go buy a nice soldering iron ( my current one has done its fair share of plastic welding, not really any good for delicate work now!!) On the plus side I should be getting the wideband afr and data logger tomorrow morning (missed the delivery today :-( ) took a punt on getting the chips and reader/writer from ebay (China..!!) so we'll see what turns up, if anything... Going to try and get the AFR rigged up over the weekend and I'm interested to see what the engine is doing, as is. i will post the results and we can see whats going on.

24V Renshaw 0 Posted May 30, 2012 Technically twice now! And your right it has not stopped me getting back into a C. :). Doug will get back into it in time, he is just in the sleep deprevation phase at the moment :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribetype40 0 Posted February 22, 2013 Well, there we go... its been 18 months since my last post and in that time the car hasn't moved from the garage. Its with great regret that I have to move this on as I currently cant commit any time to it. So I will be breaking it for parts. :-( So, I've not got to listing the parts its yet so if anyone whant first dibs on anything in particular drop me a PM. Or if anyone wants to take the project on as is... this could be some I would consider. Cheers Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted February 24, 2013 now that is a real shame, this was another exceptionally defined Corrado. Would be great to see it go to another enthusiast, especially with that dash, engine & seats! I wouldnt mind getting hold of it myself, truth be known. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribetype40 0 Posted March 1, 2013 Hasan, tell me about it! I would dearly love for someone to pick this up as is and see it through... will send a PM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
