The ric shaw ECU is more correctly a "TSI" ecu. They have since gone out of business, but Hymee is still in contact with one of the former partners.

I am in contact with the maker of these units. Ric Shaw does not make them, and the maker told me he only ever sold 3 to Ric.

I am still planning on using this unit with the S/C.

I can't put you into contact with the man himself, as he will only deal with a distrubution network. Which could very well end up being me

Cheers,
Hymee.

It does not have an on/off switch per se, but it is a simple matter (10 second job) to bypass the unit by unplugging it and connecting a bypass circuit to the harness.

I'll check up about the Nitrous...

Cheers,
Hymee.

cool.
i've heard it mentioned, but what are its limitations?

is it just a piggy back that will allow you to add or subtract fuel and timing up to a percent, or can you build a fuel map from scratch?

No, that would take less than 10 seconds

Unless you rigged up a hi-density switching gang...

What you do is unlpug the harness from the piggy back, and plug a blanking "plug" into the end of the piggy back cable, that hooks into the wiring loom. We made a loom for the RX8 so it plugs in without cutting any wires.

Unles Rad has updated his design for newer models, there is no switch per-se.

I should post some pics.

Cheers,
Hymee.
