i have no idea some dude just said that could also cause my car to be reving poor

Perhaps check and make sure all your intake piping screws/bolts are tightened. I had a problem when someone I took my car too forget to tighten them up and so I drove off and it was trying to spool but wouldn't rev over 3000rpm. lol i was like wtf but soon worked it out!

how were you trying to spool, isnt yours n/a michelle?

but if there is any type of leaks around your piping clamps or split hoses the computer will sense it and run in a safe mode and wont let the engine rev. split piping or vaccum hose leaks somewhere can cause this type of problem.

well i went drifting last friday nite (31/7/09) at QR. it was awesome fun. the only thing i broke was my speedo cable. pretty stoked with how tough the car was. was wondering tho has anyone else from up here gone drifting down there. my clutch started to get smelly by the end of the night. was wondering what other guys use from up here. i dont wanna go a twin plate or a triple plate. i dont want something really dera either cause it gonna cop i thrashing all the time. any advice would be good

Don't try to drift with a Twin or even a Triple plate they're not suited for the application unless you're somehow pulling in over 600horsepower and you want a twin plate carbon clutch which wont have as much chatter as a normal twin plate.

Just buy a cheap exedy or china copy single.

ive had my twinnie for a bit over a year.

pretty streetable.

its been drifted and taken to constant track days.

still working as well as the day i got it.

keep in mind they come with a lightened flywheel. its a bitch to use in heavy traffic

keep your eyes peeled for a black ford falcon xr6 (looks to be the xr6T) ute.

its a cop car. pulled someone over near forest glen bp. lights are behind the grill, cant even see them

a the sphincter of the universe hit my car today in kennelworth... scared the shit outta my friend, window was half down so he almost got a face full of feathers! haha so funny. shoulda gone back to pick it up for dinner

They're mostly targetting people speeding through the truck stop exit, trucks speeding and speeding by more than 20kph - I do security and that BP is one of our client so I've chatted to the guys driving the Ute a few times. Good guys.

    • 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.  
    • 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.
