in north sydney this morning my mum was at the lights and this wrx was reving and crap then took off, wheel spin etc... next set of lights my mum was next to him with my little brother in the car in his school uniform (typical mum scene)...

and the wrx launched it wheel spin etc... my mum floored it just to give my bro a thril... and they OWNED THE WRX :) he never even got infront of her :D

my bro said it was an STI :S maybe he is right...

w3rd up Gradenko!

i've made Ferrari 355's look bad with my WRX. My mate in his STi made a Lamborghini look bad after being provoked to say the following ... "hey mate, how about you show your bimbo girlfriend how slow my tinbox is".

the full story is here http://board.performanceforums.com/forums/...readid=67143998

moral? there is none...or maybe its not to mess with an AWD when its slippery :)

lesson of the story: always actually check the type of passenger who is sitting next to you at the lights :) If its not an undercover, then it could just be your motha :D. I've made that mistake before, seen a HSV and thought why not, then just as i'm ready to go see the kids in the back and realise - he ain't draggin ;)

E500 !!

You could smoke just about anything in that !

The only car that has ripped my friends rather seriously modded GTR was an E55 AMG - COMPREHENSIVELY ripped.

Don't mess with a big Benz - you'll get toasted !!

Smoked by your Mum - I bet he's not feeling like the Big Swinging D!ck when he left home... more like Captain Shrivel !!! cool story a5h, love it :elaugh:

    • @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.
