A cruise & an 8 ball comp. could be a goer.See what happens.

On another topic, I received a letter today from Regency about my race R33.It seems they have been reading the '3 litre streeter'

articles in HPI & were slightly(!) concerned about the legality of the aforementioned vehicle!!! Read - they think I'm mad! And

would like the pleasure of inspecting the vehicle to determine it's roadworthiness - yeah sure - they just want to go for a ride!!!!

Unfortunately, due to this, I will not be doing any further articles

on the street cars from now on. Speed wants to feature the race car which is fine 'cause it's never going to be registered again, but

it is a shame that people cannot feature modified cars with out legal issues rearing their ugly head.

Sorry to hear that Munro, thats really f#cked up - if there was only a way to get around these dick heads - perhas HPI should get a national campaign going to lobby the bloody pollies and get them to lay bloody off - this is just big brother going too far - everybody looses.:)

Nightcrawler, I am a bit supersticious too, already came tooo close to coming unstuck this morning - note to self warm tyres thoroughly - but beers and eight ball sounds interesting:)

cool well I'm in for sure .... does 7pm at Bunnings Mile End sound too conspicuous?

Yep will be more than happy to do a couple of laps around the place then head back to my pad (Northgate) for an 8-ball comp .... anyone wanna challenge the house Champion? lol :)

Farkn Geezuz munro thats ridiculous.

They prolly dunno what half the stuff you have is but saw a parachute hanging off the back :)... either way im sorry to hear.

Such a shame that all the beasts you own and have had shown in magazines, hav been brought down by the f*ckwits at regency wanting to inspect your car.

eeerrrrr does this means you got defected by mail?

If u r not defected, then shouldn't those people come to your house for car inspection? or

I like to see how they react if you just tell them you can't afford petro to get to their place?

Good luck with the inspection bro...bring a different car and see if they can tell the difference :) hehehheeh

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
