region-coding plug jumper

[Guest]

Guys with Guru.

Did you have to remove the wire from this? I cant remember seeing it on my car. Also there is another plug with jumper further on the ImpedanceAdaptor.

Any ideas?

AFAIK the UK cars shouldn't have a jumper wire, mine didn't, the socket was much more tucked into the loom on mine, the one in the picture has the sleeving stripped back.

Don't know anything about impedence adaptors, why you asking?

Just getting worried after a post on Rennlist. As i couldnt see the plug or jumper wire, i assumed it wasnt on the UK cars and then forgot about it. This post reminded me!!! I was soo sure that it wasnt there, you have saved me stripping down the ECU tomorrow!!!

I didn't. I didn't know such a thing existed. What prompted you to query this Slim?

I don't have one either. I remember reading about it in the GURU instructions and I didn't need it.

Here is a paste of the instruction:

The 28-pin DMEs have one more chip-map selector in the Region Coding
Plug. It is a two-wire connector about about 15cm away from the DME
connector: http://www.gururacing.net/Manuals/RegionCodingPlug.jpg

On the '88+ 28-pin chip cars, make sure that the CONNECTOR IS OPEN (no
plug installed). This selects the ignition setting for street-gas and
ignition. A jumper wire can be used to short this connector and selects
the ADVANCED ignition map which is for race-gas only. [8D][8D][8D]

Just some talk on rennlist, but the american cars are different to the UK ones... Danno sometimes doesnt appreciate this. The tow plugs that were discussed are not on the UK cars for sure.

Panik over!! I was just worried that i had the more advance timing setting on the ECU, best octane fuel we can get in the UK is about 91.5(american mean rating) The advanced timing required 98+ octane. No idean where you can get that!!! Its really poor as in the US 94 octane is readily available, thats like the old UK 5 star.

The garage behind the pits at Silverstone sells it [8D]

£5 a litre I think [] (don't quote me though).

I heard an urban legend type story somewhere about a chap who filled his 80 litre car up there with Race gas by mistake. £400 a tank - that will do nicely.

Can't be true - I think you'd notice the numbers spinning on the display. Good story for the pub though
