Forgot to note that ordered pcb in different colours to see what the difference is. Each colour flows differently and has a minimum width between component pads it can flow, with green being best. I tried white and blue this time as the text colour is white on green and blue, but black on the white board. The black text is not as thick or clear as white. The white text is close on both but still best on green.   Overall little progress, spent a few days doing custom apple HomeKit projects for environment monitoring. This was an early project that was put on hold as the person who wanted it had to make a bunch of choices. It has some value for automotive where the car when it arrives home connects to apple homekit and sends data. Depending on the car it could be milage and fuel use or just last battery voltage and temps.   Realised I need a better test rig as laptop and stack of usb canbus dongles isn’t the best. So made some initial plans for a stand-alone canbus network similar to the below but with SD card for adding real logs. Plus web portal to setup the canubus IDs for the buttons for lights, gears and pedals to emulate along with a rpm and speed estimate. It will have a obd2 plug with 12v power so it is easy to test devices.  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009344611851.html Have some work for custom canbus gauge cluster upgrades for older Subarus that have no obd2 or canbus but run aftermarket ecus. All stealth or OEM+ look inside the stock cluster.      

Just ice the inter cooler for the power run on the dyno. It’s just a piece of paper, it doesn’t show gearing or real performance anyway.

If they want a real solution it’s not based on anything they have said. It’s all in the contracts, repair costs are covered by the contractor for the first year. These already exist for some infrastructure along with very strict times when work can be done eg only low traffic times, often at night. Lower the cost of roads rather than bill users. Ban luxury good from road transport, low use high status items are not allowed on road transport and must be sent via train. Supercars just add 10% duty on import for roads.   Hybrids and electric weigh more than petrol cars so I’m not sure how complex their maths is to make anything balance out.  The other part is if people are to pay the same or less how does that increase the income. Even if it is to cover the development costs which being software and/or hardware will be many millions of dollars.   plus isn’t there going to be more of an imbalance with local roads in cities not getting money. Isn’t Auckland the only city that gets income from road tax now? let’s also throw in Auckland has more congestion now than before 1)ride share apps have studies showing they increase city traffic and congestion by 13%. Add to that the 3 lanes roads that are now 1 lane for bus or cycle lanes that are pretty much unused.

on a Hub dyno, 100 you should get there, on our dyno maybe, if everything is in very good condition, maybe, there is only one way to find out. I just had a quick look on my tune folder, and the highest auto was 220kw so, almost there. that one only had turbo back and hks intake, no turbo inlet or anything else. So it can be done, if you are really looking for the number.

Thank you good sir! Now i can happily paint, rebuild them and label again so they are ready to go back on correct side! Much appreciated!
