No Crust Racing

When I spoke to Kelford, showed him my entire setup and current graphs and had him recommend me a cam, he was spot on with the expected power gain and end result. The tuner I use has an 8s VL tuned on the same dyno that makes about 1000hp. Times seem to match the power. I think my car is a little unique compare to other -9 setups, people usually have some but not all of the bits. N1 manifolds, big mofo pods (which made a dyno tested 14rwkw gain at the 330kw mark as we proved the airbox was a restriction). I have hard suction pipes, plazmaman and maybe most importantly, the biggest bolt on dumps I could get (3" HPI) into a HPI front pipe which is 3" off each turbo, then 3.5" at the merge and for the entire remainder of the exhaust. Plus I run Kelford cams, where as everyone else seems to run Tomei and hate them. It's a dyno dynamics though, so you could easily take off a few KW on a Mainline. The car is the sum of a slightly unique set of researched parts and talking to people who actually know their shit.

Needs more boxes.

I guess? You seem pretty happy to make blanket statements and single out one brand and I'm pretty happy driving a working car?

I think we've done our part keeping this thread at the top of the build section.

That must be it then, I can't there being any possibility that it's just working properly. I'll be ready to replace the ECU when I put my TH400 in.

My tuner must be amazing to tune around what some people have described as the symptoms. I'll let him know.

He might have given me an ear bashing on FB about it already? Wonder why my car hasn't seen it. Maybe the key is don't drive it.

Haltech "claim" not an issue with Platinum Pro, but was a problem on earlier ECUs, guess I'll find out it ever happens. So I guess the bombshell here is old shit can be problematic... but new shit has less issues.. Who knew!

For anyone else playing along re timing issue. A good unbiased thread here. Unsurprisingly issues occurs on a number of ECUs, not limited to Haltech, and even features our OP(and others) claiming the same issue on a PowerFC, madness... Seems like most ECU manufacturers and Tuners were aware of and had produces solutions to address it, including modified/better CAS discs, crank triggers, etc. Too much was said for me to not look into it as a precaution - So thanks for that even if your caps are flat.

Rims look slightly less shit with better tyres on them.

Down a back alley. I'm still sore...

I have limited ECU and tuning experience but have had no issues to date that were ECU related.

You sound like a guy who's opinion can definitely be trusted.

I could use one of the cores but with a suitable rear housing

Turbine map shows that they won't live long at 25PSI but see how you go.

I'm already booked in to remove the ECU...

I bet all cases of timing related issue are definitely tested properly as being the ECU for sure. So how much better does your car run since switching?

So somehow the ECU is the issue, not the old CAS, and moving to a superior crank trigger setup is the fix, but we blame the ECU? Sounds backwards? Wait? I've got it! Its because the signal has to travel through so many boxes and so many wires!

My car barely runs with all those timing issues.

You should get Emtron, it will double your power instantly.

But.. how can we agree on something? I run a Haltech that fits into my kick panel. #theshame

There's only 1 motorsport event I hate and that's drifting. I'm OK with pretty much everything else (though I have no experience with Roll Racing) so if the crowd are anything like drifters, they can f**k off too.

f**k I better get my TH400 order in ASAP and remove my kick panel to add some shit!
