I know a wood worker if that's any help. Seen him build a couple tables and the like. It's more of a hobby and a profession of his though and he's in London right now. Will be back in Feb if that helps.

Any cabinet makers out there that want to do me a nice deal on a nice custom cabinet??

Can't find a normal one to buy so need to get one made up.

:O

Is to keep your trophy haul in? :)

My brother does this but he is also in the UK and customs dont seem to be such a fan of wood coming into the country unless it is treated. Something about pests and things living in the wood :O

Three of my mates are, but one builds stairs and is too busy, the other two probably would do it but they are getting cocky and asking too much money.

I'd go into your local paper and check out the classified section.

Lots of retired tradesmen who take on small jobs and are really good at what they do, and charge about $25 per hour.

BASS OUT

my grandpas a cabnit maker, he is on holidays now aswell so has time to burn(go into country road jsut jeans ect.... all the stuff in there he makes, no the clothes, all the wood crap)

send me a pm on what you want and ill ask him what he thinks.

What sort of cabinet are you after? Timber or board? My girlfriend is a cabinet maker and came second it the state in the furnishing insustry training awards and took out the craftsmanship award at tradschool. She's made wooden/glass display cabinets, tv cabinets, kitchens etc. Snowy if you want Tash to come for a look or talk to her call me. She does execptional work and won't ripe you off.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
