![]() (N.B. The final statement within my post:- "I am not at all concerned that Harvey has used a kit set for his project, a logical idea, good on him if he is willing to accept the risk. What is not on, is the blarney of writing himself up as the designer of intricate circuitry." If off the shelf components had been used to assemble an original design the situation would be vastly different. Using the exact design, as well as a circuit board produced by another and inferring that this constitutes a personal achievement, is another matter entirely. There are no sour grapes, but there is a desire for truth.

Re: New Shift Kit Developed
Its truly amazing when someone creates a product that do improve the performance of the svx and you continue to get the negative replies.I am purchasing one soon and have a feeling what those dyno spikes truly are,I run two a/f ratio meters on my svx an with full throttle shifts the right engine meter goes blank,I think the QC just prevents that loss of power during shifts.Take any late model acura legend or vigor or a eary model saturn,those are just a few cars that will chirp second gear withthe stock motor and auto tranny plus they already have 200k plus mile already.No one has a gun to my back to buy one and Thanks Harvey for creating this product that didn't come from ebay.I actually had a lucky day afew years back to meet Matt,based on his experience with the QC alone is good enough for.Also I didn't write this to T anyone off and if I did I apologize,we have to realize that any product created for the svx is stepping into new ground and if truly successful this guy can try this on other vechicles.

Re: New Shift Kit Developed
Yeah, those dyno spikes may look scary to some folks but really how often do most folks run their SVX at full throttle. I believe time will prove this to be a worthwhile product.

Re: New Shift Kit Developed
There was never any suggestion by the originator or anyone else, that improved engine performance was an issue being addressed, or even considered.

Firstly he accuses me of not being capable of designing an intricate electronic circuitry. Second he accuses me of stealing somebody else’s circuit board, for my own use. To deal with the first, I am quite comfortable in designing any electronic circuitry. I have all ways had electronics as a hobby since I built my first crystal radio, moving through the various stages to achieve my Amateur radio operator's licence. In the early 70s I did a 12 months full-time Diploma course on Computer Technology with Control Data, on the main-frame computers of the time. This included digital and analogue electronics. I constructed my first Vector Graphics computer in 73, using the original Z80 processor. I then designed a digital controller for an automatic, automotive, spring winding machine that I also designed. I continued through various stages to teach Automotive Engineering at Sydney Technical collage, where I wrote and taught an ‘Electronics for Automotive Mechanics’ course, and was instrumental in changing the way electrical was taught to move it into the modern era. Configuring Linier ICs in the way that I have, may be new to Trevor, but it is a basic building block for all electronic designers. Phil uses it in his digital discriminator to clean the signal between the ECU and the lap top. I am absolutely confident in designing and offering this circuitry, in my Quick Change Second. I designed my own circuit board, using a CAD program to suit the circuit that I wanted to use. I also designed it to allow me to build the board easily, as not having a right arm increases the degree of difficaulty in anything that I do, hence the low production of 10 a week. As can be seen in the picture it bares the Slick Shift logo both on the silk screen, and copper sides. I now demand an apology of the same prominence as the slanderous accusations. Harvey.

What is more research within this thread, will disclose that I went to some lengths in assisting Harvey in his claim of there being slightly more power at the wheels, as a result of the fitting of his "CQ". Many here were mixed up in this regard due to his wording.

Re: New Shift Kit Developed
I just wish you all would take a deep breath and stop this crap. Great minds on all sides. Life is too short for all this BS. I hope hatchets can be buried and we go on with to-the-point tech talk. Everyone involved needs to just stop responding to posts that do not provide meaningfull information to us noobs that are searching for answers. The poetry I've just labored through on both sides (both forums) is a waste of my time, as is this nonsense about who is posting what. What ever happened to "I agree to disagree". Sorry if I offend anyone. Flame each other in PM's and leave the rest of us out of this, please.
