Default Simjet Data terminal

Hey all,

While i'm waiting for the "wireless"data terminal to come out who knows when, is there a way to fashion ( lol, i'm lauging myself) one to work with the ecu, so i can see what the engine is doing? Mabye get some other companys gsu and get it to work with the simjet? Humor me.....


Thanks,
Nate

Check with Carlos at RTI, he told me he was in the process of getting AMA approval of using the Ram ECU with SimJet engines. He says they run really sweet.

Nate,

I spoke to Laars who I believe is the owner of Sim Jet at Florida Jets back in February and he told me the the terminal was about 3 weeks away. That
's 7 months ago I was also the lucky winner of the Sim Jet 700 raffle . On my gift certificate is says "delivery no later than June 1st 2002" Now it is September and still no sign of the engine. My latest e-mail from them says 6 weeks before delivery.

I think I know what is going wrong. Sim Jet is using a different calender than the rest of the world. One Sim Jet week = one real world Year.

Seems that they are using a different thrust measurement also. 34lbs of Sim Jet thrust = 24 lbs of real world thrust.

To answer your question, I don't think it is possible to use somebody else's GSU since the Sim Jet ECU is developed by Sim Jet. (Probably using Sim Jet eletronics instead of real world components <G>)
