ovisly it's after christmas. We having a cruise still?

Yeah will got onto it ASAP, there is a fair bit coming up over the next few months but im sure we can squeeze a "quick" cruise in somewhere :)

Me and some friends are going to Symmons next Friday for a bit of a test and tune, not a cruise but still a get together. :P

pitty this isnt a few weeks off as i am planing on road tuning my Power FC out on the track plus some shake down laps to get the new beast wormed up.

Sometimes it's just to hard to organize stuff like this, I just pick a date & do it. And if people I talk to along the why want to join in that's fine. :P

yea i understand that for sure.

streety tuning it?

yea maybe, still wondering what option to take. i can pay few $100 and get it dynoed or take it to the track and spend all day tuning every aspect maybe? it will be on a tight budget thoe so money may decide.

i have no idea realy? its not running yet. i do have a coupple of spares if i find these are buggered. but i should be able to borrow a bolt on knock sensor thing if need be. what did streety think of my setup?

no bov at the moment but a small atom one may be added. i did want to run a plumb back but it didnt happen quite how i wanted. do you think this will ba an issue. was somthing i wasnt concerened with with the haltech but it may be a problem with the pfc

well NA engines knock anyway so with the boost its still going to knock just if its a problem it will knock sooner ie less boost or revs i would have thought. may be completly wrong. rb arent rotories you know haha.

the plumb back would be much easier to tune, and get better results, atmo's tend to make the car fuel up more when you have a maf.

As you say NA engine do knock, but boost will make it knock sooner, and more sevear. We more talking about the timing to run.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
