Haltech Iq3 Display : A Worthwhile Upgrade ?
89CAL replied to cobrAA's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
It would be of benefit if it was a car that was tracked pretty often because you can more accuratly monitor more items then the standard dash For a street car, I think cost outweighs function, then your left with cosmetic appeal and personally I wouldnt be willing to spend that much for it to look good -
Why not fit a pump? Because you dont need one. It will be fine. Noone else is running a seperate pump to keep water flowing through the turbo (that I know of)
-
Actually yes. Didn't see it was inside the exhaust ports as well.... Looks quite a bit like oil past rings....
-
The Aux fan mounts to the top and bottom radiator supports, not the radiator itself. 2 bolts on the bottom, 1 on the top
-
Its not the head drain gasket is it? Looks a bit to widely spread to be from there but I'd check it just in case
-
Download the software and look in the help files. In G4 plug-in ECU installation manual go to pin functions and it tells you what all the channels do. Look at the ones that correspond to the items you are replacing. Best thing to do is just download the software and look in the help files for all your answers. I wired my car up doing this. It's all there, just a matter of finding it. The search in the help files is actually not to bad
-
You can do either.... But it looks like the rear 02 sensor is not an adjustable setting in the Link software. So You can wire it up to one of the AFM signal wires (assume you would be running MAP with a link) and change that to a GP Temp setting and put your settings in the Cal table. So basically without an EXP harness, use one of your AFM wires for one, and your front 02 sensor wiring for the other. Should work fine if its setup properly
-
Best thing to do is get the Link software and look at the pin fuctions and pinout pages in the help screen. This tells you what everything does and will give you an idea on what you need to do. I would buy the expansion harness, that way you can use one of the AN Temp wires on the expansion harness for your EGT sensor and then cut the Front 02 sensor plug off and wire the wideband in there. Then you set AN Volt 'x' to be a wideband (can configure this in a Cal Table, voltage to corrosponding AFR) and AN Temp 'y' to an NTC temp sensor or whatever signal it is outputting
-
Do you have the expansion harness for the G4? You can use this to wire in additional sensors. But if you are only runnning the 1 wideband and dont need the two standard narrowband sensors then you could use one of the signal wires as the input for the wideband and the other for the input for the EGT sensor. I've wired my wideband analog out to the stock 02 sensor (middle wire in the plug from memory) and it works fine.

Full tank of gas, score! looks good
-
Mine is straight out the back of the housing pretty much, I'm not sure why yours has a longer v-band? I think The thread for the oil feed is M10 x 1.25
-
Do you have an atmo BOV? Those things dont sound to hard to fix, but with an atmo Bov, you may still get some stalling off throttle issues. Shouldnt stall when turning air con on or off. There are settings to prevent this. Otherwise it might be a problem with your AAC/ICV. I think you can check something in SW/SENSOR CHECK on the power FC hand controller (if you have one) Check the plugs, maybe adjust the base idle as well

Not suprised that Kovalinen can't get sponsers after his lackluster performance in the last 2 races for Lotus. KK won't be as good in a back running team. Can't overtake anyone if you cant catch them. He should have got the Lotus seat and Maldonado should have got the Caterham seat. Everyone wins then
-
Vettel will get no.1 till such time as he doesnt win the world championship...... So he wont have to make up his mind anytime soon

Maintaining 12V While Engine Is Starting?
89CAL replied to zoomzoom's topic in Car Audio & Electrical
FYI, I have an electronic boost gauge, electronic oil pressure gauge and an electronic Wideband gauge. All 3 of them dont drop out during engine cranking. I'd say the power source for your gauge is either from a bad spot, there is a problem with the earth, or the car is drawing to much power during cranking. Like I said the gauges are (or should be) made to get around situations like engine cranking. I'd find it very unusual for the gauge to require a capacitor/reserve power supply to keep it powered during cranking -
Hmmmm got a multimeter? Check voltage at the parts that arent working and see what changes when you rev the car. Might be a bad earth or connection at the multimeter? Not to sure it sounds like a bit of an odd one. usually it works or doesnt.

Maintaining 12V While Engine Is Starting?
89CAL replied to zoomzoom's topic in Car Audio & Electrical
Think you have another problem. It should be designed to get around this. The fact is that the starter draws alot of current, which drops your voltage. Dont think a Capacitor setup would be efficent or cheap enough for keeping a boot gauge on. Have you sourced power from a strange spot? If your battery is dropping to much further then 9V during start then you might have another issue. And to me, 9V shoudl keep the gauge on. -
What are you saying, that once you give it a rev all the lights come back on?
-
Pretty happy so far with the SS2. Only running around on a base tune till my tuner gets back from overseas but it seems to be a very nice package to drive around on already. Feels a bit torquier down low then it used to. Turbo sounds pretty cool, It's much quieter then my surge sloted HKS turbo which is a good thing. Yet to see what it sounds like at 20+ psi but lol.... Very happy anyway. Will post results when it gets tuned. Bad time of the year to be wanting tuning done etc but lol.
-
I can see why there would be alot of testing needed. With the low tolerences of having a gear drive it's not just a matter of bolting it on and going for it Remember Nitto are a company sellling a product. Releasing a product prematurly and having failures would really hurt their reputation. I'm not sure but it looks a bit like this other pump is just a creation by someone who knows it can be done and will be a better concept. No reputation to live up to, no major consequences if it goes wrong. I'm sure Nitto will get it right, and it will be spot on. But these things take time

I made it back up to the chopper after trying for a while. Had no sniper ammo but Was pretty happy when I stole the jet and ruined somones day who was rampaging in a tank. Picked up a bounty but Chased someone literally the whole way round the map today to collect a bounty.
-
Yeah thats the one I was thinking of. Pretty sure Chris bought it off you Ben? but it has been sold again since then. If so I think it had a GTX3071 and some tasteful mods. Nice car. IF its the same one lol
-
May know the one. But thought it had a standard(ish) front bar so maybe not....
-
Has anyone noticed the 'Creator' in the online menu now? Just had a go then, can create your own track. I just did one then. About to look for it anyway. It gets you to set tags so I put 'SAU' as the tag and its called 'Cal's Track' f**k I'm creative give it a go anyway if anyone can find it. Funny thing, I've been helping Kirasuran kill people and I was just sticky bombing peoples cars, then stole a jet and blew up a few personal vehicles, got heaps of bad sport alert things. Now I've just been given $2000 for continued good behaviour

Nismo Transmission Mount ?
89CAL replied to cobrAA's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Seriously.... There is nothing wrong with Nismo mounts. They will do the job perfectly fine and you wont lose 'performance' from having them installed Solid mounts are insane unless it is purely a track only car, and even then I'd still put nismo, hardrace etc mounts in it
