Besides the Holden and Ford hoons, it wasnt too bad, missed out on the hot laps session in the morning. Just dont ask TRACID how it was :P

explain how one can hoon on a race track also ???

totally against stupid behaviour, but dont understand ur logic, were they stuffing around and being stupid ?

i went and it was blood good fun for the price say apx $70 for the day. had some fun with the hot laps. got to 165km/h down the front straight. as for the holden ford hoons baiscly anything thats wasn't a v8 was buring the tyers. (were ever poserble.)

however was a very good day and grate value for money no one was stupid or behaved in stuipd mannor (minues one who left after doing a burnout in the car park :wave: ). and only one car got smashed it was a supra hit the tyre wall on the 2nd last cnr after spinning apx$5500-$7000 damage.

poor kon :rofl:

i wonder how he is, and how my helmet is

Don't know why you paid $70 Brentt, as everyone else paid $40 :O .

Kon was obviously disappointed and a little shake, Hus didn't make it any easier :D . I would have prefered to not gossip and left it to Kon to explained what happened, should he wanted to.

The day was awesome, and Hus you should have stayed, as we had another 30min of track time at the end of the day :laugh: . I now offically have the "Track Bug" again as i absolutely cained it round the track. Reached about 230-240km/h, before having to brake for the first corner, ON STREET TYRES (my 19's). Car felt great, smooth and stable, can't wait to fit the Tein's :P .

The day ran very smoothly, and was toped off with great weather. Had the Hot laps in the morning, with witches hats placed at all corners to slow the cars down a little. I felt they were throwing me off my line, so i went around a couple smoothly to keep my pace :). Then had the slalom which was great fun in a head to head challange; and the Go-to-whao on the other side of the track. The cones were then removed to have the heads up drags. I only competed in one drag race against a tricked out Lotus Eliese. This thing had huge lumpy cams, suspension, RE55's, ecu, and other forgotten mods. Great car, and was awesome round the track, but ran out of legs on the straight. He had me, at the start of the quarter mile, by about 3 car lengths, but he was surprised how quickly i cought up and won the race by at least 2 car lengths (his words) ;) . Once the drags had finished, there was some time put aside for burnouts, which i have to say were pretty damn impressive. The day ended with 30mins of lap time.

After the last session, i left the car parked for 30min, when i went back i found a puddle of oil underneath my NEW pod filter :( . Will be doing a comp check and changing plugs tomorrow, as the plugs feel like they are fowled. Hopefully nothing major as i went for a drive today and Nikki and Matt didn't see any blue/white smoke at all :D . After countless hours of abuse, i could be finally due for a catch can.

    • @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.
