16v mini forums are down though, looks like it's been hacked from reading the error code.

phpbb is such a load of wank, you could quite easily crash a forum based on it with 20 minutes research from google. Hence why very few still use it.

I just had a quick look at what is on that forum and, except for Paul's posts, everything I've seen on MegaSquirt and 5-port head injection is a load of crap. If the rest of the posts on other subjects are as informed that's a useless place to go.

really the only people that really into their 5 port efi stuff at the moment are you, Paul S and Rod S, so its not that suprising really,

what that forum is good for is K1100 info, it seems to be turning into the K1100 site.

History lesson.

This thread:



2 weeks later EFI Minis forum was setup. Initially very pro VEMS.

EDIT: Before I upset anyone I should point out that the EfiMinis is a very useful forum for K100/1100/1200 conversions.

A lot of knowledgeable people from TM are regulars. They also do not suffer from the numpties we get on here as fuel injection scares them away.

The siamese code has always been a TM project, so here is where it is developed. But you would expect some support from EfiMinis. At least an acknowledgement that MS and the siamese code has potential to be the best solution for injecting the 5-Port.

Just because someone does not know as much as you do about a specific subject, does not mean that other people's opinions is useless. I think you should spend some time on there before telling everyone else its crap...

I can't disagree here, but to be honest I think that the forum was intended for K headed engines running efi, plus troubleshooting on the SPI and MPI mini setup. On this topics EFIminis is very good.

I did qualify my statement by saying that I only had a quick look and was only talking about Megasquirt and 5-port injection. I agree that my last statement is unsubstantiated and only based on personal feelings but there are certainly people on there giving their opinion on something they know very little about but they don't seem to know that they don't know much.

Such opinions are at best useless and can actually be harmful if taken as the absolute truth. Again, this is only based on my very quick look at some posts on a couple of subjects I quite familiar with. So that gives me a bad first impression about this forum which may be mostly unjustified. However, the warning about taking a critical look at opinions expressed there is valid (as it would for any opinion expressed on any forum, my own opinion included).

This post seems to have got a bit out of hand in my opinion....

It just started as whether the site was down and appears to have developed into another VEMS/MS, 5port/8port war.

That doesn't really move things forward.

I lurked on both forums before signing up to TM (about 18 months ago) because I decided I wanted to go down the 5 port EFI route.

The information on 5 port is clearly here on TM, and I suspect it will stay here (unless VEMS decides to "copy" Jean's code) but there is no need to suggest a difference between the aims of the two forums..... The efiminis one clearly caters for the 8V/16V head conversion (with fuel injection) people, and good luck to them...

End of my rant....

Rod,

You're right and I should have kept my opinion to myself because it doesn't solve anything. It's just that this is a pet peeve of mine. But the solution is education (as in giving good information) not complaining or putting down people like I did.

Jean,

I wasn't having a go at you - I think, in truth, both "sides" are genuinely interested in what the "others" are doing.

The trouble is sometimes it gets a bit out of hand, maybe just a little bit at first, then everyone else takes exception and it escalates out of proportion.

So enough said by me.....

Rod.

Different forums have different ideas & information. Sharing knowledge between them is a good thing. :)

Edit; O/T had an idea when TF posted his Peugeot project. Great car! Could we have a non mini section perhaps? Be easier to search or ask questions with non mini issues.
