you dont NEED a wideband afrg. they are hell expensive and tuners use them. just leave it to them. but your standard narrow band gauge gives an indication of possible problems. its not worth paying $600+

as an eg, i have, afrg, boost, water & oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure gauges

I'd get gauges in this order, boost, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, afr an so on.. and try get a gauge with a warning light or a preset you can set the ' max ' of somethng and it'll flash or alarm, they're the best, my apexi el boost gauge lights up red if the car overboosts, which is great insurance as i'm usualy watching the road when i drive..

ull need a wideband afr gauge or dnt bother. volt gauge is gay.

i wanna get a inlet temp gauge next

To be realistic... I wouldnt even bother getting an AFRG....You'll know if your car is running lean or rich anyway.. Well i can tell.

Go with Dyna's suggestions.

as i was saying they are pointless unless they are accurate wideband gauges.. :P

Tell that line to your engine builder.."i knew my engine was running rich just before i saw a piston inbed itself in the bonnet !!".

I dont believe that for a second.You might be able to get a idea but throu listening but you dont know exactly what your air/fuel ratios are...

Ah in most cases you cant unless you have a meter or gauge. you might be able to hear an audilble knock or ping bit the damage is usually already done.i wouldnt rely my hearing on a modded import with a bit of boost and timing.

Get a stoich guage there only a 160 dollars approx.. maybe cheaper these days.

u dont necessarily need to be running lean to be pinging/knocking...large amounts of timing can do that on its own

whch is waht I have been saying for ever but no one beleived me

till my car hit the rollers ha ha

i based my above assumption on ur car lol

its all smoke n mirrors until u see real proof...much like marki's posts :)

bahaha as if fool. ginger please

For the first time we agree. :)

yeah bro i knw my shit u just dnt like my SR.. ill prove u all wrong haha

Anyone gonna be out tonight? The weather looks like crap..

I'll be out once i've bed these in ;)

ohh la la.. what brand..

and what pads u running.. im looking at upgrading pads..

the coilovers look like HSDs teins are full green

yeah bro i knw my shit u just dnt like my SR.. ill prove u all wrong haha

I'll probly like your sr, and props for building one up, but as for talking about it all the time like verbal diarrhea ;)

Coilovers are HSD HR's with 5kg/front 4kg/rear springs, perfect for the street, but still firm cause they're the track spec damper..

Disks are 343mm two piece DBA5000 series, ferodo 2500 pads, custom unique autosports caliper spacer, motul RBF600 fluid, calipers serviced/new seals.. :)

    • 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.
    • 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.
