New Shift Kit Developed

Why is it that people do not read that which is written and put a slant on the situation to suite what they preconceive?
(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.

Yes that was "faster", as he did not grovel to the proprietor of the swearing, tearing, grubby habitat. Not good for his business so pull the plug.

If you have something to say, be honest and open about and don't piss about hiding behind your monitor.

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.

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.

That's funny, because I dont grovel to him, and I am not banned.

Hell I am one of the people that got him banned from here... Clearly we are not the only ones who see the trouble maker in you.

Your post contitutes a sly distortion of the facts as you have quoted my reply exclusive to a post by Mteball.

What is more,my efforts to insure that members are not provided with incorrect information, does not make me a trouble maker. However, what the hell, your opinion does not concern me.

In that instance there was no high horse self endorsement by the originator, and he looked for no special recognition regarding his idea.

I still don't recall it ever showing dyno plots??

There was never any suggestion by the originator or anyone else, that improved engine performance was an issue being addressed, or even considered.

It appears that many are unable to assimilate more than three or four simple words. Understanding requires a little concentration and comprehension. The essence of my post is in pointing out deception which has occurred, as a means of self gratification. In no way can this be considered to be an honest objective, particularly when there is a profit motive.

P.S. If I had made the above statement, my post would be history. Read the rules. Obviously it is an advantage to be part of the executive.

But you see, you CLEARLY missed that I had included myself in that conversation.

So, make sure you pronounce that you got your facts wrong here!

There are no sour grapes, but there is a desire for truth.

In view of Trevor's quest for the truth, and my insistence to “tell it like it is”, I must put his slanderous accusations to test.

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.

I remember our meeting well! I also remember how awesome your svx sounded. I am very anxious to see your timeslips after you install the QC shift kit since you have so much experience at the track and you know what your car runs. Hopefully it won't all go up in wheelspin. The power mode mod along with the shift kit is a great combination.

Well, now let's be precise as you seem to like it. I don't think the designer is claiming any "improved engine performance" as you state it. All I see are possible indications of some drivetrain efficiencies with better shifts but no engine performance claims. It seems that the dyno plots speak for themselves. Of course, again--maybe I missed something.

(I must add though--that I have ONLY a minute percentage of the technical knowledge that you AND Harvey have. I am envious of BOTH of you and fully agree with young TOM's earlier post.)

My post in fact referred to the designer of the small car kit and had nothing to do with the "CQ". However I somewhat understand the reason for your confusion.

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.

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.
