well... hit the wall at Mallala last weekend... basically front left onto grass and understeered and couldnt get it back... Front of car into tyre wall. Minimal damage considering f**ked up in top of third gear. damage was - crack paint on passenger guard, passenger indicator dead, front bar inihilated, front indicator destroyed or gone and a split intercooler silicon hose. Wheel alignment tomorrow but i think it should be A OK!

  • 3 weeks later...

here's a dyno sheet of the new setup - just changed to hks gt 2540

tuned by SIMON at MORPOWA auto and dyno!!!

end result is 240rwkw at Morpowa's dyno. (known to read a LOT lower than some others around!)

top of the graph is suspected wheel spin. even with 80L of water, strapped down and 2 guys sitting in the boot.

We are now suspecting that the engine is in fact a low compression engine, and as it was built in japan, really go nfi if it is or not. So just guessing it is because of the boost that is needed. Tune is very safe still with AFR's in the 11.5 - 11.2's on pump fuel.

I'm happy, and yet to test drive it!

Should be fun!!!

bugger all more than the 2530, i haven't driven it on high boost yet. low boost ( 1bar) feels about the same as it did before

also now fitted

Power Steering Cooler

Triple flash strobes hehe

spacers rear 25mm

rear guards pumped and flared roughly 25-30mm ***LOOKS PHAT***

re-painted guards, now colour matched (well better matched lol)

got 9pairs of tyres to kill this weekend :banana:

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
