Road was slightly wet, I suspect thats why it was plodding along it...

The thing panicked, it went right, it would of got away into the other lane, then changed direction left... I stood on the breaks with everything I had, ABS kicked in but wasnt enough, wet roads + shitty break rotors...

Theres no sign of any impact on the car however and it ran off. My cars at stock height, it is within the relms of possibility that I went right over the top of it.

quit complaining, bang her once more, then fire her

no, i dont think i could bring my self to do it. plus she was really crap!

euck. I hate smokers. Espically having to kiss them, they allways taste of ash.

i tried everything to get rid of the bad taste. i even tried washing my mouth out with coke, that really burns!

oooooooooooooo so u ended up banging the horny office chick hey mikey :woot::yes:

fire the bitch, simple as that >_<

thinking bout it, but prob just move her out of my office. easier to explain to my boss. bit better than me trying to explain to him why i fired her.

Boss: "why did you fire her michael?"

Me: "she was crap in bed and things were awkward :wave:"

i'm sure that'll go down well >_<

hmm last i checked isn't a straight cut gears different to a dogbox??

yes and no. a dogbox uses all straight cut gears in a dog engagement (not too sure on specifics) but you can also use straight cut gears in a normal box for extra strength.

Straight cut gears means that the gears themselves are cut at 90 degrees, ie the teeth aren't cut on an angle. Dodgy ASCII pic here:

Angle cut gears are quieter and wear better too I believe, but won't cope with quite the same outright power as straight-cuts, particularly on very hard gearchanges (the whole gear face contacts at the same time).

A "dog box" refers to the gears having dog engagement, which generally means no synchros to wear out. Hardcore dog boxes are incredibly strong but without synchros you have to rev match, and unless you are flogging the car, they are a pain in the arse. Just to be pedantic, most manual gearboxes actually use dog engagement, but the synchros line the dog teeth up and make sure they're spinning at the same speed for a smooth gearchange. Calling something a "dog box" usually just means the synchros aren't there and that the dogs themselves are the only method of meshing the gears. FYI when you miss a gear and hear that horrible crunching sound, it's not the gear teeth grinding (they are in constant contact with each other), it's actually the dog teeth. If the synchros aren't doing their job or you've changed gears too quickly for them, the dogs will be spinning at different speeds and will grind.

Right, mechanics lesson over, time to go to work lol

Angle cut gears

they're called helical cut marc, becuase they actually curve round. you can also have a dog box with helical cut gears as well, just not as strong.

still costly though, but much easier to drive. a better option i heard about was cryo-treating your gearbox. they basically freeze the components in i think its liquid oxygen. this causes the molecules (getting into physics now) to move closer together and form tighter bonds, thus strengthening the parts. best part of all, is that it will cost you less than 1k to do your entire gearbox :wave: only catch is the place is down in melbourne :woot:

moarnininggg shane

i drove down coro drive about 4:30, didn't see you there

thats because i was on the highway, just before the roundabout at the bottom of cootha :wave:

oh noes, theres a black person in whoretown :yes:

ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun :woot:

    • @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.
