Well just got back from a quick test run...

Took me a couple hours to fit the climate control's hot/cold door actuator and the rest of the interior I had to take out to get to it... mate of my soldered the dry joints last night...

and IT WORKS! Holy smeg! I haven't had a working climate control since I bought the car and I >finally< have airconditioning at my whim!

RAWR!!!

feel the power! revel in its awesomeness!

Thanks to madaz for showing me the tutorial link, I probably would have missed it otherwise. I owes you a brewski mon!

hey guys,

got my car today.. and it dies whenever i clutch in when it warms up..

its got apexi turbo, stock ecu, stock afm, bov blocked off, 3inch turbo back.

any ideas on wat would be causing it?

^ could start with like a process of elimination of things Adrian.

first thing that springs to my mind is get someone to make it stall the way it usually does while you watch from outside. If there's any black smoke coming from the exhaust it's simply too rich at idle/off throttle. If not, you've eliminated overfuelling to be the cause at least :D

Mine did the same Adrian when I used to clutch down to change into 2nd. Sif you never msg'd me to meet up somewhere so I can see the car.

sorry man i JUST finished work! catch up tomorrow night?

Hey was thinking bout going into town friday night or sat night as well!! Gouger street you say eh, might see if wifey's keen n head in!

im interested if others are, last time i went they had those cut out new lancers with forza 2 hooked up to the steering wheel n pedals n stuff schooled all the people around :D for free i might add.

plus ill be done with uni for the year and in need of alcohol :P

thats awsome! im yet to own a car with air con :P

i'll let you fix mine up too :D

try unblocking your bov and run the standard one and see how you go?

Well, while we're being stupid, I'll run a pipe off the back of the turbo into the cabin, then I'll be too deaf to hear them complain :D

and be killed by the noxious fumes.

... win win really. :P

and be killed by the noxious fumes.

... win win really. :wub:

Yeah well I get that already when I only open the front windows, sucks in a lovely aroma of unburnt fuel (see my profile :laugh:)

But yeah I reckon thats a goer, I'll get on it tomorrow :D:P

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
