Sorted. Picked up a 34mm mixer from TT today, fitted it, gave the R90E a tweak with the laptop connected and I've got a default of 138 with it switching around 10 steps either side of that at idle and right through to 5,000 rpm. According to TT, RPi insist on only fitting the 38mm mixer on their grossly overpriced Leonardo system. I wonder how well they run?
Back when FES imported R90's, mixers and Milleniums (for other people's benefit Milleniums are just the same AEB175 as Leonardos) I used to list P38 DIY kits on Ebay including my full tech support and free calibration etc for vastly cheaper than RPI's price. I also used to list sequential systems on Ebay (with my same level of service) for a lower price than RPI's mixer system... And I included RPI's Ebay listing numbers in my Ebay listings so customers could easily compare the difference in value. They moaned about this to Nick at FES, told FES I wasn't selling the same stuff causing Nick to phone me to ask if I was selling the same stuff... Of course I was and Nick knew it because FES supplied both me and RPI.
RPI buyers who went on to read their small print could look forward to shelling out hundreds of pounds on top of their already massively inflated prices... Their smallprint advised fitting another chip in the ECU, Magnecor leads and K&N air-filter to prevent backfires. The K&N would actually increase the number of backfires but would at least be less likely to be blown apart from a backfire. They also offered the sequential OMVL Dream system at massively inflated prices... when FES stopped supplying they continued with Dream from other suppliers, along with the odd King ECU with same OMVL Dream reducer and SL injectors, same chip filter and leads advice in the small print. Stevie Wonder apparently employed for in-house installation and/or calibration which again they charged massively over the odds for. All still ongoing, except now it seems they include at least the leads and K&N in the mixer system price.
Off subject a bit but if you fancy a chuckle, phone Central Garage and tell them you're considering buying a P38 to convert to LPG. Apparently only some V8 P38s can be converted properly depending on what numbers are on one of the vehicle's tag plates 'sir'...
