  • 1 month later...

Bringing this thread back from the dead I know.....

Can someone tell me if the guys at Briffa Engineering have another number other than the mobile one listed in this thread??

I am having some polishing work done there and when I rang to see if I was able to pick the parts up I got a guy that does not speak English so well - which is making it difficult to find out why and how long my job is being delayed.

I gathered from a brief (confusing) conversation on the phone: a machine of some sort is broken and they don't know when it will be fixed.

Just my luck. Looks like the car will be off the road for a little while longer than i'd hoped.

Anyway, just wanting to get hold of the younger guy I met there when I dropped off the parts to find out what the story is.

Cheers,

Tay

hey dude it must be his dad on the fone umm thats the only number just see if you can speak to mick in person not his dad if you got problems ill go down and see for ya as im there quite often

cheers

andrew

Ok cool. definately NO problems though. Mick seemed like a very genuine guy when I met him.

Sounds like they just broke something?

Was supposed to pick up tomorrow but I'll just leave it till later in the week and see how they go.

Appreciate the offer though Andrew.

Here's a quick snap straight after I put the cam covers back on.

Still got to clean up lots under the bonnet but I'm getting there.

Gotta add a few more bits of go fast bling like HKS fuel rail and and oil filler cap......and then when I get really bored I'll get the intake plenum done.

    • @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.
