I didnt say the world was against, just the bad loser wingers who follow the fkn sht house pommy based fkn loser F1 teams-fk em-FORZA FERRARI-Micheal and Kimi in a red car next year on 'their' Bridgestones will wipe the floor with everyone and especially uncle Rons pathetic silver fkn shit boxes-BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- now some one pass me the Galliano :O

Yeah, if the pommie engineering etc is so shthouse why did Ferrari have to resort to making their cars in England at one stage? GTO = Guilford Technical Office...

I think the reason people have issues with the way Ferrari goes about their "racing" is that so much of it is inherently dodgy.

BTW, if Schumacher is so bloody good why does he need to have Massa flogging around on Friday and Saturday destroying his tyres just to provide him with set up data? :)

how many teams run on bridgestone ladies? and how many of those are considered top teams?

one...

how many teams run on michelin, and how many of those are considered top teams....thats a lot more data for michelin :O

Ferrari put themselves in the position of being (Last year) the only front line team to be running on Bridgestones. That it burnt them by denying them data & hampering the Bridgestone engineers can only be regarded as poetic justice. :)

ha ha I knew if I put up a post sounding like a crazy man it would invoke some passion into this thread (it was a joke post-ctjet :) )

And to all those Shumi bashers-7 World Champoinships, maybe 8 if this year comes good-a record that will never be beaten-so all you non ferrari shmucks can go beaten your meaten

It only invokes passion because of Ferrari's consistent behaviour in putting their own short term self interest infront of the good of the sport. Occasionally is comes back & bites them in the arse - at which point a great many people smile.

Most of Schumi's World Championships had a lot more to do with the driver than the car, particularly in the early years.

Ferrari were rubbish for a LONG time before Schumacher (and his entourage - i.e Brawn, Rory Byrne etc) came along and revived some glory for Maranello and I dare say they'll eventually start heading backwards again once Schumacher, Brawn, Todt and Byrne leave or retire.

In reality, Schumacher is largely responsible for making Ferrari what it is today.

Schumacher is Ferrari at the moment and without him, well, they're not much! :)

Just my 2 cents - puts flame suit on :(

I have to profoundly disagree with you (Apart fromt he bit about Ferrari being crap, ofcourse) :(

If a brilliant talent such as Eddie Irvine can almost win the championship in a car, it speaks more of the car than the driver. I would rate Brawn & Byrne up there with the very best. Add in the biggest budget in F1, unlimited testing etc etc etc & the wonder is that they haven't won more championships.

The question has always stood: If Schumacher is so good then why does he need a #2 driver entirely subservient to his needs. Or run into everyone else when the pressure is on (Like last week, for instance).

Yep, he can drive, but he has a glass jaw (& a large one at that).

    • @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.
