It probably doesnt feel all that different. I need to fix my wastegate as well. Its leaked at idle since i put it back on in a big rush for Dutton. Im so lazy and too poor to pay a mechanic to do it :wave:

haha I'm right with you on the lazy thing, my manifold has been leaking for 18 months :kiss:

Now it's completel;y cracked and my gate is held on with a piece of coathanger...

Yep you get 1 warning to fix the problem. So you do have a chance if you do get pinged the first time.

That makes it a little better, i didn't know you get a chance first - did Aaron get a chance?

I'm out, not going to PI tomorrow, don't wanna drive all the way out there to watch my tyres (and myself) melt from the 38 degree heat. No chance for PB's..

So looks like I'll have to wait till the WRX round next month. :)

gonna be wicked day...after my first go in the wet at Calder and some laps a few weeks later I will need some new semis and rims. Hopefully get them over the next few weeks - if the boss doesn't complain again.

I don't blame you. Too hot for the car, too hot for the tyres, too hot for us silly humans.

New AVC-R…Check!

Diff…Check!

Cams…Check!

New Upper Arms…Check!

Now I have 5 weeks to get it all installed and tuned. Along with 4 new RE55s. So much for the OS trip and saving. Getting to PI is going to cost 3k :(

Shoudl be fun...maybe this will be my first PI day where i actually complete a session :happy:

Bali for easter booked and paid for... check

Sisters wedding in Hamilton Island for a week booked and paid for... check

new turbo still sitting on the table at home with no $ to install it... check

tires worn down to the indicators all round... check

still going to Phillip Island for my first run around there... check!

Roy just book the trip and pay for it... then lie, cheat and steal to get your car to PI!

Details!!!

What cams? What diff? You wanna sell me your old RE55's if they have a bit left in them?

the more I look into this the more I realise that with the F1 event and the GOR cruise plus a few other things (new 18's just purchased) I'm not too sure if i'll have the cash to do this round.....which is such a dissapointment as of all tracks I wanted to do, this is the main one.

*get calculator out again*

Kind of in the same boat, except mine would be a calender and getting time to do shit :P

hahaha it got me home with a gate still there, so big props to the coathanger!! :(

That's how I'm doing it :wave:

this thread is classic. :wave:

i've given up any hope of making it to PI as a driver...

In order to make it I would have to get my car from completely stock standard back to it's modified state,

the calculator will not permit whilst saving for a midyear os trip...

so instead I will be launching the official team, "let's get sunburnt again, spectating". g@y :huh:

I was with you Jack. I was going down on the Saturday as I missed Calder. But too bloody hot.

I'm now going to the MSCA Sandown day on the 4th of March to shake the cob webs out. I want everything lickety split for P.I. as I want a 1.50 (PB minus 2 seconds) :dream:

Regards

Andrew

Details of the MSCA Day? I would love to do Sandown,.

Russ, they are Apexi cams and KAAZ 1.5 diff. Tyres are dead, hence i need $1600 for new ones :)

If i get a good time at Sandown i may park it for PI...i just want a good time at a track

Im giving the GOR cruise a miss... GP will be on best behaviour so shoudlnt cost too much. Need track days under my belt. My last track day was Sandown in Jun 05

I have never done an MSCA day before. I heard they werent run that well and that you may only get 3 or so sessions. Is this still the case 3 years later?

The last one I did at P.I. was pretty good, also at $160 was pretty good value.

Lots of interesting, but slow cars to make me feel better to! :O

Regards

Andrew

    • 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.
