I had such an adrenilin rush last night....tset of traffic lights a VX HSV,celica turbo & XR6 turbo pulled up beside me :wub: not sure if the HSV was worked or not it was louder then standard but the xr6 was really beefy you could her the spoolin really loudly and it sounded like it was a big v8 when he steped on it. I only have a stock r32 gtst .

We had a series of runs and each time i kept up with both these cars up until about 100km p/h then they pulled away bout a car length, the celica was nowhere to be found.

Does this sound about right for my stock GTST or should i feel proud they didnt walk all over me

your comments please.. :D

I'm waiting for the street racing lectures to start..

No need to be smart about it. Bragging about your "wins" at the lights is silly. It is detrimental to the SAU comuunity too. Makes the rest of us look like immature boy racers.

are you sure they weren't just drving home?

must have been a pretty special place as off the top of my head i can only think of about 3 or 4 four lane roads each way with trafffic lights.

We wish we could be as cool as you......... :D

:P

i doubt that they were racing you mate. i have driven all sorts of cars in my job and i am telling you now they were not trying or just absolute retards. an xrt or clubby would absolutly chew a stock 32.

the celica on the otherhand is another story!!!

Thats what I meant... I'm not one to give said lectures, but know better than to post about it on here... ah well.. :lol:

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
