Well it was nearly all good news..my new stagea arrived today ...... but my joy was turned to tears when I noticed that the @##@ from TNT had put a great crack in the front spoiler while unloading it from the truck (he unloaded it up the street and then drove the car to the house so I didnt see him unload).... he got me to sighn and left realy quickly without getting me to inspect the car...they shouldl pay for the damage but its a lesson for others to take note of.Anyway the car is great but now I will be in need of someone to repair the front spoiler. If anyone can recomend someone in Melbourne it would be of great help.

I would use ColourCo panels in Mitcham, he did my celsior.

They also screwed the rear bar at the same time, with the tilt ramp thing rubbing it all the way from Spotswood to Blackburn! IDIOTS!

Anyway, it was $450 to fix and spray in pearl white with extra blue pearl.

He will/has do/done all my body work.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
