  • 2 weeks later...

Guys,

Its this coming friday :thumbsup:

However....I may be out :(

having steering dramas so Im hoping my car can get booked in early this week.

I *should* be right

fair suk.hope you can make it still chris.

my drain plug is stuck in the box and i am pissed off.last time i put the plug back in i got a bit happy with the loctite and tightening.now i have to wait untill tomorrow to take the car down to a gearbox place.this weekend i was supposed to have it all out and ready to pick up the clutch for install by tomorrow.tho this has stuffed me right up now.i want the plug at least loosened so i can get the blasted thing out.a mechanic has allreeady tried and he said the only other option is to drill or weld a shaft and remove.if i drill then it will prolly mean the box might to come apart because of metal shavings :?

i will still come out to drift the car even if the clutch is slipping a bit.ill get the most out of the clutch ftd :(.then after i will look at getting the clutch in and out.the only thing that will stuff me is clutch kick entry i will have to unsettle the car to initiate drift....eeek..:P.good times.

clutch kick ftw :P

haha

yeah Craig, Im hoping I can get it done before friday

I'll make a few calls tomorrow - and at the same time hopefully someone who does the job, can fit my remaining suspension parts!

go for gold son.haha at your interpretation.

i have been sick the past 2 days so i havnt had any time to get the car looked at.not to fret,like i said i will still come out there to give it a go..but i will have to feel better though.

i hear rain untill fri.show n shine cutting it close again.

    • 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.
