Brisby I will be amazed if this other track ever gets built. I've been in the know about it for a while now and I just can't see it happening. It's supposed to be part of a full motorsport complex complete with track and skidpan but they always said the drag strip would be built first. But they also said the drag strip was going to be read LAST Xmas. So...

I've seen the plans and they were dated 2000.

It's a bit like the track being built in Bunbury W.A. that was supposed to host a round of the JGTC in Dec 2005. It still hasn't been built either.

I beleive all the complexes are lacking here, except for Phillip Island. I feel it's due to the amount of international coverage and income it brings to the state.

I like the DECA complex, as the roughness about it adds to it's enjoyment. Having said that, it's nowehere as bad as Calder.

that return road at Calder is a joke... need a 4wd to get back after a run

geez they would make a lot of money if they had the balls to make a motorsport superpark... stop messing around with dyno video games and do it for real...

Isn't it Izumida (D1 driver) who has his own track over in JP? imagine having a mate who owned his own motorsport park... I need to lie down now

Well

I hope they make something. Calder realllllly shits me.

If they make something like the Kwinana Motorplex, which I beleive is the best Dragstrip for both competitor and spectator- it will be a huge success.

Wednesday night off street racing, Friday night Drifting.

Ill be DOWN for that!

Snowie, i hear you. But the fella i was talking to said they have finally got the approvals on the land given to them by the govt and in the next few months they will be kickign over some soil....then agian that could be a very old and tall tale ?

I was told the same thing over 12 months ago mate. As I said I was told It's going ahead and will be ready before Xmas - and that was last year. And yet you will not find a single scrap of media about this place. if it was really going ahead you would think there would be some form of media somewhere about it. Next time we catch up I'll tell you all the stuff I know.

just out of curiousity...how much would it cost to set up a motorsport park and wat sort of legalities need to be gotten out of the way?

Is it as simple as finding appopriate location, gaining permits and laying down the concrete/ashphalt?

cant wait till they start building it and then ppl start to complain so it gets put on hold and it just gets screwed around, then it gets finished, ten they start building housing near it, then the new residents complain about it then it ends up like calder :)

    • @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.
