haha I can't take all the credit, I knew he had the Ohlins already :laugh:

Project Mu is an odd name... but they do make a good pad :)

I think it's 33 on Sat with a cool change and around mid-20's on Sunday, so it should be nice at PI with the breeze off the water

Project Mu is not really that odd. The symbol used for friction coefficients is mu - the Greek letter. So calling a brake pad project mu is not reallly that odd. The things you learn.....

well our little alfa did some arse kicking down south of the border. a few probs in the early races, but 1st place in the last race was not too shabby. nor was going 42nd to 7th in the second race!!!

ah, sorry you missed him. it's a nuts little car. driving it with all the other group NC cars at wakefield opened my eyes (and filled my dax). then driving it the second time at oran park GP was one of the most enjoyable on track experiences i've had.

Man what a weekend !!! I'm trashed !!

Spencer came up and saw us on Saturday and then I went back to see him another 2 times on Sat & 1 on Sun and he was never with the car !! Some other guy was sitting there in Gulf overalls but no Spence....... and considering when he ran compared to us, we were always getting prepped and I missed every race he was in. :P

Was a great event, took a heap of pics of the GIO GT-R, will get them up in the next few days. Spent ages drooling over that thing :)

Man, where were all you guys ?? We were with the cars all 3 days and almost none of the SAU VIC people came up and introduced themselves :P I saw some sweet 32 GT-R's leaving on Sunday so I knew some of you guys were there but almost nobody stopped in to say Hi.

I wanted to have a chat with you about your 13B datto thebuzz !

Oh well, maybe next year...... and then again, maybe not since we've heard that our group might not be involved in this particular event in the future :P

Was an absoultely awesome day, best motor sport event I've ever been to by far, had a blast!!

I gained a new respect for the 31's. Love the prep work in them, and they sounded fantastic, especially blasting down the straight split by the VL and followed by the JPS M3. Was music to my ears!

Richard, which Alfa was it that you're talking about?

lol, the one that came first in race 3. group NC. white 2 litre GTV. :P

why?

that's a shame. sorry you missed spencer on the sunday. that would have been chris looking after the car probably. damn shame you missed the second race too as 42nd to 7th aint too shabby in 5 laps of PI! We need to get our shit together and mount up the in-car camera.

Richard: This shape?? English guy driving it??

Marlin: Nah, I didn't see it mate, what happened?

yep, just like that. yep, pommy bastard behind the wheel. entered under our sponsor, classic throttle shop. it's white with the speed stripes and it sounds mental!

edit: here's a pic from wakefield.

Did you guys see the carnage of the LJ and Walky? A mess and shame. I haven't read all through so apologies if it's mentioned prior.

That was Norm that got collected from behind in the Walky :nyaanyaa: He was pitting along side us and when he came back he looked pretty gutted ( as you would ) but they reacon they'll get it all fixed up and better than before & she'll be back out racing in no time :nyaanyaa:

As for the LJ....... TBA.....

    • @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.
