even if it blows, he can have mine, lol....

I should be out there, get some more footage...

So far I got footage from Carmelo and Fab, you other slack ass biches need to give me your vids or you won't get a DVD!!!

so is anyone mates with dallas or know anyone that can pull some strigs coz that could be a touchy subject, getting someone to use his equipment without him. It gives the wrong impression if you know what i mean

I know he won't be happy to do it, but if you can offer to pay him for the use and allow him to supervise he may be persuaded.....

I have known him for many years, so will ask and see what he says.. Has anyone spoken to him yet?

i've spoken to dr drift about coming up here and he said he can, i havnt spoken to dallas about him using the dyno tho. i did speak to him about putting my car on the dyno to check mixtures and shit when i first start it but nothing else. if you could do that jimmy it would be good

Andrews keen to do it if he can get his mods before The Doc comes and im also keen to get mine re-tuned for alice conditions. i dont mind spending a bit extra keeping dallas happy if it means its going to get tuned properly for our conditions

hey guys sorry i didnt come out to the drags i was drinking till like four or something this morning and i reckon i was still drunk when i woke up haha, so i wasnt driving anywhere for a while. how did every one go?

heard you got a wicked time hey kurto? thats cool as.

hey, everyone did wicked times Bk ran a 10.7, carmello took out first in super street with a 13.3 up against kurt who broke out with i think a 12.9, everyone post up your times?? it was a great day few ppl got bit sunburnt

No probs.. as frustrating as it was being there with no car, it was good to be able to spend the time to get some good footage....

No more meets till next season...

have put a few clips on utube..

If anyone want a particular race let me know who was in it, I got most of all our races.

hey guys good to hear you's all ran good times, congratz kurt on your time and bk i heard you were flying over the weekend, thats wicked as man, any plans coming up for the car other than a cage now you've hit the 10's??

    • 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.  
    • 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.
