OK as far as CAMS goes here's the info:

1st job is to get the affiliation. This entitles us to get L2S licences and compete at club events.

For an event to be coverd by the CAMS Public Liability Insurance we need a permit from CAMS.

To run an event and get a permit issued we need acredited scrutineers, Clerk of the Course, trained Marshalls etc.

This is not going to happen overnight. In the short term we should use organisations like Aaron McGill to run these things for us.

Dino, you 100% sure about the requirements? I thought we were covered as long as we notify cams first. The clerk of course etc is only for speed events, I think.

Oh, and I'll be along :P

If CAMS doesn't give us insurance, just go with McGill, Finlay etc. They already have to have the insurance, so the only cost for them is the day itself.

OK CAMS got back to me.

No probs. as long as we call it a training day or similar and don't have timed evnents and prizes etc.

In the short term this is the go. Eventually we will do Motorkhanas etc.

Lets look at doing it in a couple of months as a Club event.

If you guys wish to organise another event before then and get the insurance etc. don't let the Club event preclude you from doing that.

:D

this is how it is panning out

private daythrough a mcgill

i recon 20 cars max, this means the cost will be around 160(lots of room and everyone gets a really good go

30 car max cost 120 each, getting as cramped as you really would want before getting the shits (we had 40 on sunday and it was too full)

i would rather 150 and get a shitload of time because it would be a shitload of fun and the fact we would be pushing it to get that many car( i personally can fill 7 of these spots)

definate price will be back to me by late this afternoon

You participate at your own risk.

The insurance is public liability insurance. Like if Joe Public walks through the course and gets run over.

Yerp i know :) so to be entitled to public liability insurance you have to be a club member ?

    • @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.
