Now this looks like a whole lot of fun…..
Des Millar along with the help of Jeff Magill have been busy fitting a Honda F20C Vtec engine (from a Honda S2000) to Des’s Toyota Starlet club/race car. In stock form these engines rev to 9000rpm and are rated at 240hp at the flywheel – so it all seems like a cunning way of getting your self a whole lot of fun.
Des Approached AVR Performance to supply an engine ecu, dash display & wire the whole vehicle. An oil pressure sensor was fitted to the ecu so it can perform a safety cut if the oil pressure isn’t right. The ecu also passes on the oil pressure sensor information along with all of the other parameters including engine temp & rpm to the display. A shift light & warning light led are also fitted. Des can get on the job of driving the car with out having to keep an eagle eye on gauges – if something goes wrong the ecu will take steps to protect the engine & alert Des via the alarm light & display.
The loom is now complete & tested ready for Des to finish the fuel & cooling systems so we can start & then tune the car.
