Yes, my car works fine. An aftermarket supercharger is not easy to integrate into a complex package like the AMV8 with its Spanish Oak PCM utilizing ford's latest torque based electronic throttle control and neural net misfire monitor. I have studied and datalogged my car extensively in order to understand its behavior. Except when I had dirty MAFs, the car has been very drivable and enjoyable, lighting up the tires easily in 1st 2nd and 3rd gear on cold roads on a cold day.(it's an American thing). I drive it almost every day. Because I've manipulated the MAF A/D counts due to the vigilance of the throttle watchdog and because the intake volume is much higher than stock, datalogs show non standard transient A/F ratio behavior. However, other than the occasional exhaust pop off throttle, the car drives normally. I have posed questions in order to understand the cars behavior as accurately as I can. I hope some day to be able to rewrite the PCM's future airflow modeling algorithm, Expected torque, demand torque, 2's complement tables to match the real world airflow in my car. If I could do that then forced induction with turbos and rebuilt motor would be a practical possibility and the sky is the limit!

I have full access to the AM PCM now. Ive spent the last few months finding and labeling and testing the various scalars, functions and maps in the PCM The car is completely controlled by its own PCM. It needed bigger injectors, 47lb. I will continue to experiment and tune its transient behaviors, WOT tune was a snap. Car can now control any form of FI - positive displacement superchargers, turbos etc. All I have to do is built the system.

I don't understand any of that but I hope it brings you joy

Reading back through that thread, that Jellison fella really came across as a prizewinning cock

Amazing.

Good progess cracking the ECU
Still ALONG way to go to a reliable aftermarket FI solution

And for the money....
BAMFORD ROSE.

Still, would be interesting to see if it works.

Hey Yeti, how's the tuning coming along? Is it still at BR? I am very envious of your soft top lean mean green Aston machine!
What a week for it eh!

Home at the moment - still wearing the prototype manifolds and catalysts, now has the shorter inlet manifold system (optimises power over torque) and the high lift cams. God it's fun

6.5 litre engine in build...

Yes that is true, it is definately not for the faint of heart!
