i carry a shit load more speed through the corners as i dont slide all over the place like the lighter people...

no need for brakes, just lean forward and turn into the corner... bobs ya uncle im faster through the twists and faster out of the corners...

as you know go karts take time to build speed, so the faster you come out of a corner the better...

that all said, i came 1st for the day so who cares...

also i remember beating one "shanef" at kingston park a few years back in the rain... :thumbsup:

wasnt me brother, i didnt make that one! (was stuck at work, i remeber it clearly caus i spat the dummy caus i had to do overtime that nite :D)

yeah i agree, they keep telling me they are waiting for the ecu to arrive from haltech, so f**ks me,

how ya feeling col? still sore?

have u f**ken taken ur car to allstar??????????????

wasnt me brother, i didnt make that one! (was stuck at work, i remeber it clearly caus i spat the dummy caus i had to do overtime that nite :thumbsup:)

Must have been dangerous dave then... :D

I remember getting soaked to the bone... Karen and Marc were there, I think Karen got a $2 rain suit which leaked in like 3 seconds :(

yeah i did shane, i regret going to a SAU recommended mechanic sponsor thingy lol

As I said Bryn I trust no one... I do all my own work (except tuning)...

They all do bad things from time to time, its just some workshops do more bad things often :thumbsup:

lakeside looked great this morning... :)

Saw Geoff bashing up the track and saw Chris waving a flag or two...

Watched a blue wrx take a corner too hot and end up flipping 180 degres right in front of the integra...

The VE Calais 6 litre auto was going nuts, was really supprised how weel it went up against the GTR's...

Watched the yellow R33 being pressured by the white RX7 to the point where the R33 left the track and was very lucky not to smack the wall...

Was allot of speed coming down onto the straight out of that last corner, the track is faster than i can remember... :)

Cant wait to see the picks... Also does anyone know the contact details for the track as I was speaking with one of the maintainance guys and they have a skidpan up the back of the circuit, so maby we can go to skidpan here and save a 2 hour drive to Gympie???

Lakeside was fun. Just needed my semis to pull a few seconds of lap time out. The street rubber sucked across the face of the corners and I just had to use the throttle to get attitude through the corners. The somewhat overdone HSV with all the stickering just had the mid corner speed on me with his race rubber so I had to let him through. No point spoiling his fun today but with semis I would have had him on toast, likely I'd have had to step up to group one. Can't wait to the the 26/30 powered track barge out there to scare a few folks.

That yellow 33, for all it's slicks and poop was an absolute piece of junk. Way too low to handle properly and very poorly presented but what a wanker. He was trying to take up about 4 car spaces along the pit exit and trying to force everyone to go right out around his spot by an extra car length so he could just drive along and put it on blocks so he could install yet more cable ties to hold it together. Not surprised he was too arrogant to get out of the way to let a faster car through and cracked under the pressure.

    • @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.
