I got a 15second penalty on the back track for hitting cones, I think that would've cost me and apparently its a record for the biggest penalty on the Long wang. I messed up!

The skid pan was soo wet in the morning before it dried up, sort of like driving on a lake!!

I can't believe we still finished with such good results overall considering the weather in the morning.

That means Dane and I are 1 round each. Looks like the next one will be interesting!!

Wasnt a massively noticiable difference in the times between groups on the back track but there was a pretty big difference in times between groups on the skidpan.

For example between me and Scotsman -

Mines Datsun Run 1 -

Snowman - 43.12

Scotsman - 37.16

Schappy Run 1

Snowman - 37.28

Scotsman - 32.50

But...

LongWang Run 1

Snowman - 58.09

Scotsman - 59.13

Given that Chris should have killed me but we both ended up with 2 very bad runs where we both lost a lot of points so in the end it was very very close.

Infact just about everyone made a few mistakes this time - except for Christian in the forrester which is why he's finished in the top 10 (plus he drove that car well)

Also - we did use any results from the 2nd run of the Wang Busta because there was a significant number of cars that didnt get that run due to the storm.

Anyways - time for me to go find some dinner.

Juz - take that result out and the one where you stopped on the skidpan trying to restart the car and you'd have had a super result.

are we still able to see the times even though they dont count? my 2nd run on the back track was my quicker one

*sorry misread*, thought you meant the backtrack runs (longwang)

That was while adam was driving. So he probably would've been a fair bit higher in the ranks.

so dane beat juz over a technicality? weaksauce! :P

Although checkin out the results, I can't really give Adam (newton) shit for driving a girly car like I was at the start of the day.

w00t for lowest score and being the first ones home. We ran into the red MX5 on the way back as well, looking at the scores it looks like it suffered a similar predicament to us.

Snowman - so does that equal first mean I get 3rd? :P

And that's a pretty amazing finish for first place considering! :)

Pete - when do we get to see vids - I can't wait! :)

So the only people I beat are the ones who retired early?

LOL, teh boat can nevar loose! :P

Guess I better add something useful here, to all the people that think about coming to DECA but don't......

shows that even if you come last you can still giggle your farken arse off allllll day!

Couldn't have done it without the mexican hats! :P

matt

was funny to see the taxi ride skidpan run

LOL - But at least you had fun! ;)

LOL...that means he wins RWD :lol:

Champion :D

^^was a really good effort considering the wetness in the morning and the lack of opportunity to get some heat in his tyres

still... I'm off to buy semis tomorrow! :P

I got beaten by a 4 cylinder too ... eew

19 Justin Masters R33 GTST 356

Pretty happy with that for my first time out :D Didn't think I'd do that well, but I guess not hitting cones is the really important bit. Definitely plenty to work on for next one, and lots of room for improvement :P Will see if I can do some more skidpan work before the next deca. So much fun!!!

Dont buy semis...just borrow them... ;)

You always go quicker in someone elses car, it seems you go quicker with other ppl parts :lol:

Its an awesome effort since he fried his clutch in the morning...tops result for a pretty schtock car :D

    • @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.
