i rekon the maf electronics arent ELGT and are std tuned for 19lbs in ELGT MAF housing?. could explain the incompatability???


That thought certainly crossed my mind.

What do you think Timmeh?

Worth trying to organise trying my Mates ELGT MAF in it? I spose not now that you've fitted your 19lb's again.

I have an ELGT MAF. It still didn't work. I had the ELGT MAF in with the 19lb injectors and the 24lb injectors with the ELGT ECU.

I put the ELGT MAF in with the 19lb injectors and the EL XR8 ECU and it worked.

Its got to be something else.

I would like to see the GT ECU get put in another EL XR8 whether its series 1 or 2 and see if it works.

The number on the ELGT MAF is
F1SF-12B579-AA
AFH70-02
3E06

The numbers on the EL2 XR8 MAF is
F07F-12B579-A20
AFH55-05
6K28

Also the retaining screws on the ELGT MAF electronics still have their anti tamper witness marks still intact so I believe its all legit.

The 2nd ELGT ECU Jeff sourced came out of an XH 347 Ute which we built, it was running 24lb injectors and used the T-series MAF (IIRC) It ran fine in the ute but when he pulled it out and refitted the standard ECU without changing the MAF (couldn't find his old one) it wouldn't idle correctly...

Damn efi where's a carby? Lol

Yeah maybe I should go carby. HAHAHAHA.
In fact I don't have the money. Hence my for sale thread. Need cash to pay bills.

AU maf has a different connector I think.

My build has come to an end anyway due to lack of funds. Kids come first.

Quick update for your all. I managed to get the Tickford 70mm TB fitted.
I got an AU TPS and chopped the end off it and put the E series plug on it. Got it set to 1.035v at idle.
Man what a difference. Car doesn't hesitate for a second. It just launches itself now. Maybe in the future I'll get the MAF done and the injectors which will mean a tune but that won't be for a couple of years when I can afford such expense.

Looks good Timmeh. They are a real nice looking T/B.
You need to get that TPS voltage under 1.00v @ idle though.
I'd also run that plug/wiring around the back too as its blocking the Tickford wings.

Don't know if the wire reaches that far.

I know .98 volts is the sweet spot. I got room for adjustment though.

Yeah thats correct but it must be under 1.00v @ idle so the EEC knows its at idle. If it goes to 1.00v or more it thinks its at part throttle and goes into closed loop.
0.98v is the optimum voltage as its as close to 1.00v while still being under and safe.

Yeah. I'll get onto it tomorrow. My mate has the multimeter. I was just going through the sticky in the V8 forum about it. Thanks Jeff.

The wife drove the XR8 to work yesterday and now she doesn't want to drive it cause its too powerful.

All I did was get the 70mm Tickford TB put on. Surely it couldn't of made that much difference.

Before she loved the car and the power was perfect. But yesterday she scared herself a little and was saying that you only have to just touch the throttle and it goes hard.

I've still to get the TPS to read under 1v. Its still at 1.035v at idle.

Maybe its time I scrounge for some cash and get it on the rollers and post up the sheet.
