Thanks for that, I've skimmed through some of the code you shared, I think it's going to be quite helpful.

The CAN hat I'm using has a MCP2515 chip, which I think is the same as what you...

[Norbie]

Yes that's basically it, I can handle it from there, just getting the raw data is where I'm currently struggling.

Anything you can send through would be greatly appreciated. ...

[Norbie]

At the moment I'm focused on getting this running in a Windows environment, and right now that means sending commands over the SPI interface directly, which is a lot more challenging than the Linux version...

[Norbie]

Haha fair enough.

Related - here's some vandal wrecking my turbo:

...

[Norbie]

No, I only ever ran it on plain old 98. It was a pretty basic setup - stock bottom end, mildly ported head with HKS 272 cams, GT35R turbo on a china manifold, Haltech E6K running the show, pretty much...

[Norbie]

Yeah that's pretty much it. I'm perfectly content if my rebuilt engine makes exactly the same power it did before (a measly ~450 rwhp), and it did that with a 3" exhaust, so I'm good.

[Norbie]

I laughed. Then I thought about it and realised I've done the same, by a wide margin.

It made sense at the time?...

[Norbie]

I don't know, I've never seen it for sale anywhere? In any case the 3" round pipe has already been purchased so that's that.

[Norbie]

*raises hand* Present!...

[Norbie]

LOL Pete actually joked about this as he was welding my puny 3" exhaust together. He reckoned someone online would give me grief for not going 3.5" or larger. And here we are!

Better hope the customer has a crane to get that off the truck?

[Norbie]

Exciting times!

[Norbie]

The Century uses a header tank in the front drivers side corner. Looks like you have room there?...

[Norbie]

Yeah it feels nice sitting back and watching someone else make the progress!

While I wait for Pete to come back I'm doing more nerd stuff:



That little purple...

+1, I've owned 3 TA22s and still own an RA23, all front hinged and all bulletproof. Shame they rusted so bad, apart from that you couldn't fault them.

Front hinged bonnets are often a pain...

[Norbie]

OK enough messing around with the nerd stuff, Rz came over yesterday and got some real work done. There's a long list of things to do but we got started on the exhaust - the old one could have been re-used...

[Norbie]

Very neat wiring job, it's how I imagined mine would look by now, reality may not be quite the same.

I'm keen to see what the dashboard looks like all lit up. I need inspiration for...

[Norbie]

I did the same in my Supra, didn't trust the original wiring which was designed to supply enough current for ~150hp worth of fuel. The Walbro sure was a noisy thing but then again the rest of the car...

[Norbie]

Yeah DBW and cruise info is just what I was looking for so it's good to have it. ...

[Norbie]

Not sure if it's for public consumption, I'd prefer not to post it here unless told it's OK.
