I meant impossible... What's going on Mr Steve? You missed a good day on Saturday :P

I have seen many-a-photo, it would appear i did, sadly there is always something on my damn car that needs work and stops me enjoying it... shakes fist

He is from Gatton...

So am I. Well kind of, Lived on a farm near to Gatton, Went to boarding School so only really knew a few people there.

I understand VE I just don't give two shits for it when comparing smaller engines cause all I think is "why the f**k didnt they use that same technology and make a 6L?!"

But yes wet weather makes me a grumpy f**k...

Because they didnt need to to meet their design objectives. For example 1uz vs LS1 since thats been the theme for the day.

1uz was designed to power luxo barges, refinement and efficiency were expected, LS1 were designed to power farm equipment with minimal fuss, with no f**ks given about efficiency and refinement . Both engines hit thier design breifs, happy days

In Nick's defence he aquitted himself quite well with reaction times like a spider monkey on Saturday...Just imagine what he could do with a real engine...(waits for the rage)

Thank you thank *takes bow*

Wait

:rant: lol

And that's why my motor powered corvettes for 4 years while yours powered overgrown loungechairs?

Toyota realised early on that V8s are best served pushing lounge chairs and saved the turbos for sports cars.

GM has sadly never realised this

And whats this mine Sh!t! I am not silly enough to bother with either of them

So you went and got something with less than half the capacity and crammed a but load of pressure into it.... Makes sense

Every time! Using exhaust gas (wasted energy) to make positive manifold pressure!? Efficiency orgasm.

Now all i need is an ecu that allows me to lose the dumbass crank sensing set up Nissan lumped us with.

    • @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.
