The right case would have to be an old pole position arcade game that you sit in surely :driving:

lol, i'll be happy with just a black plastic one from jaycar i think :D

i had to order some parts a while ago from farnell and to get the price up to a point where they would allow credit card payment i added a black box to the package, problem is working it out over the net you just can't be sure, in the end i got one thats probably going to be too small for this, so i'll have to go to the local shop and see one in the flesh before i purchase!

i'm sure i'll find a use for the old box sooner or later :comp:

What about a micro computer case you might even be able to use the computer power supply as well i am pretty sure they did 5 and 12 v lines handy for the tps supply etc.

nah my box will be probably 10cm by 15-20cm thats all i'll need, and the power supply you can see in the pic is what i have for the test bench, its 13v at 4amp so its plenty for my needs, and TPS and all other sensors are run off pots

Bruce Plecan, AKA "Grumpy", built a couple of his test benchs into old ECM cases.

For my test bench, I bought a JimStim, that is normally used for testing MegaSquirt ECMs, it works perfect with the Delco ECMs I've used it with.

I need to get some new pictures a lot has changed since I took these:

When I first got it running:

I added dual monitors:

LOL, back before TP RT V5 was released.

1985 GMC Jimmy - A work in progress
1973 Datsun 240Z - The Toy, turbocharged and injected using GM EFI, and code59

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
