big restecp to dirt and guiltoy.

To be honest i was worried when i first jumped in the car, set the ignition timing without even having to turn the CAS, Mr Dirt opens the car door and says what about the timing, i explained to him we don't need to touch the CAS, all done on the software i could see he was a little worried too, little did he realise this is no power FC.. The Vi-Pec V88 was starting to impress him before the wheels were even turning on the Dyno which was funny, he spent the last 12 months talking up this ecu and then forgot how good it actualy was :laugh:

After about 5 mins, Paul comes to the door and just watched the auto tune in progress, i looked up to look at him and then he smiled, looked at the pc and in green read "target reached"

After about 15 minutes i was checking the iat, checking the ect and the oil temp's and everything was fine.. It was then I realise i was not tuning a car built in someone's back yard, always checking stuff for issues or over heating issues, this thing did not go over 85deg and was just running for the most constant time i have ever run a car on a dyno, when changing gears and hearing that box crack the gears i realised I was tuning a Properly Built Race Car that was tough as nails then my confidence started to come back to me and we managed to map the whole car from 0 to 7000rpm in about a hour and a bit..

We ran out of time because Wayne @ Hunter All Wheel Dyno wanted to go home cos he was there all day for us, what a champion!

More tuning to be done this weekend, Twoogle & Guilt-Toy should be ready for power cruise on saturday i hope.

Bring on the power runs!!! 500rwkw & 400rwkw the mission for this weekend!

Ever thought of becoming a writer Anthony? :laugh:

Surely it will go over 500awkw, hell, the little GTRS's did that so the single should manage it easy

of course it will...but flogging an engine from the get go on pump fuel is not my thing.

Cool cool

'Little' GT-RS's? :)

In relation to the single :D

They've got stock like response on my GTR though ;)

was that just WOT or everything inbetween?

The whole map from 500rpm to 7000rpm has been mapped from the little amount of vacume that this engine gets to full throttle.

Power runs is the next step from here to map the rest of the car and clean up.

Should only be a hour dyno work + 15 mins on the street to get it right. I am not in a hurry with this car. If it takes longer then so be it.

well theres some pretty damn good positives

next tuning sess. are you able to get afr and timing plots vs rpm?

vacuum...what vacuum? I wasn't aware my engine produced vacuum.

Yeah the Vi-Pec has some awesome software / hardware loging capabilities. You can record / play back the run and it has 4mb of internal loging which logs the data even when the laptop is not connected which is enough for a track day or 2 worth of data.

vacuum...what vacuum? I wasn't aware my engine produced vacuum.

Yes. It does venture into vaccume when cruising, its only on idle where there is no vacume :P

it's a V8 isn't it?

nah thats my car.. and only in a place full of yobbo's :P

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
