3 years ago I got the following from garys (care of Rod)

1 x Pioneer VNET 450 AMP

1 x Pioneer VNET 2100 AMP

2 x Clarion 10" Freeairs (boot)

2 x Pioneer 6" Door Splits (Front)

1 x Custom Sub box with 2 x Port Holes (HUGE) going to the parcel shelf.

All installed and nicely configured (I had my own head unit)

$1100

Nice deal

i know gray personaly and he is not that cheap on setroes, but he only sell's top quilty products unlike your Strathfield and jb hifi stores. if you are able to spend a little extra then go garys car audio for top quilty products that will sound good.

paulr33 u got a great deal for 3 years ago.

to save yourself more money do the installation your self i saved $2000 on installation on my car buy doing it my self.

And plz ppl dont buy sony, sony is only good for wogs and asians who think they know what they are talking about in car audio. and for wankers that are all looks.

the best advice i can give is research and dont buy anything on impulse, stay clear ok 6X9 if you are putting subs in, and splits will always give you clear music over any 2way 3 way speaker..

but thats my 2 dollars worth of info.

Yeah I already got planned what i want, (in the first post of the thread) now im just looking for the best place to buy it... Any ideas SXY R33?? I looked up Garys car radio in the Melways and its far away, will probably call for a quote to avoid disappointment if i drive all that way.

Has any one dealth with central car radio on nepean highway, there the only other place i know of that stocks boston acoustics..

ok i got my whole system through jb hifi i knew what i wannted so i took no shit from the sales person "Who have no idea about electronics". plus my mate at that time worked at nudwading jb hifi i got it for $1300 worth about 3g.

just go out and get heaps of quotes from the car audio stuff you want (dont change what u are getting from store to store) stick with the products you are after and you will save 100s of dollars.

ring starathfield, jb hifi, grays, patterson sound, eg. once you have found the lowest phone quote, go into the store and talk them down even more.

Hint: go in on a weekend of late friday night "thats when the causals are working" they are easy to talk down. "+spin some techniqual shit to them they shit themsellves"

Aslo with boston acoustics stuff go to http://www.caraudioaustralia.com/ they should be able to tell where they are stocked!

good luck with the buy

    • @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.
    • 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.
