Its about time u got that respray, did you get that powerfc put in yet

all in due time!

the panelbeaters are chucking in the FMIC, so when i get back i'll get the slide highflow installed and then throw the pfc in, maybe a ebc if i need it then basically the car is finished..or at least wont be modified further until after i get back from the uk unless its sold beforehand

oh and hi shane

hmm interesting fact no.45384 :

i have a suspicion the two female backpackers that are staying at my place are infact a couple... i'll have to ask my flatmate for the full story

love the avatar isaac :)

i'll drive ur car around while ur in the UK isaac, u know, to keep them cobwebs from forming :huh:

pay me rental, be prepared to be listed on my insurance policy and i'd remotely consider it... infact it'll be a win win situation i get someone to turn over my car, you get to use a car since you'rs seems to have seen more of the inside of your garage then outside :sick:

but i was thinking of cramming the stuff i dont want to sell but cant take with me inside it and putting it in long term storage.

lol sif, i've got the use of andy's 33 until the gtr is back running :sick:

I found out today my ceramic turbo can do 25psi. I also found the fuel system couldnt. While I was doing all this I also worked out what real pining sounds like. Then worked out why :) a vacume hose came loose when I did my spark plug change.

So to sum it all up, Im not a mechanic :sick:

^^ And for that reason you should be happy, you get dirty nails, and you arent allowed to use the washing machine at home cos it makes the other clothes dirty, and you cant step inside the house incase you leave a grease trail everywhere.

Well someone is a bit bitter arent they :)

    • @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.
