Just seeing if anyone knows anythin about it? haha he went driving after them but couldnt find them :) . we all seem to hide until night time :pirate:

Showing off cars is ghey and has no purpose :)

We used to do mountain runs until someone came off, and the media started to publish things in the paper.

Satisfaction for me is winning, not what a car looks like. But everyone has different views on what they like.

Serious though, head down to Brisbane city and down to Gold Coast, there isn’t a huge cruise scene up here, it's pretty much just local younger kids on a Thurs night and much the same on a Sunday arvo. Go check out BWCP, that whole parking lot is normally full every Sat night.

yea i may do, my friend lives there and usually comes up every weekend.might go down there for a change. im stuck with a NA at the moment. i chose to get my car completely stock and personalise it myself, so in a way i know what you mean. but you have to have the looks to go with performance. My friend is also telling me to sell the one i have now and to buy a stock turbo cause i wont get the same benefits if i just put in an aftermaret turbo now. i know it depends on what type of turbo but it would have to be better than the stock ones, what you rekon?

you rekon? so no matter the turbo put in, it wouldnt be worth it?

Also just read up on BWCP in brissy, supposedly its a death trap, it was a good scam by the cops and you can get defected for anythin like your wipers being too hard or not enough water etc!!! how stupid is that. i was reading up another forum where no one was allowed out until their car was checked and some people waited up to an hour!

      @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.
