the other points in your post hold some merit, i think the contrary, but whatever, if it does see production, many aspects will change.

as for the bit about the holden badge, open your bollocksing eyes. stop being so damn single minded. its attitudes like that which cause so much trouble in the automotive 'enthusiast' scene.

appreciate the car for what it is, dont simply write it off because of the badge.

made me lol edit, bollocks. nicely done to whoever set that up.

Every thread that is to do with holdens he posts the same shit.

Vietorous, can you post a pic of your car? You are so unbelievably single minded about things. So bollocksing what if it has a holden badge. Do you like the new GTR? If so, how can you not atleast respect the look of this car? Its not that far off it and shares a lot of similarities in design. But I forgot, R33 GTS-T's are the be all and end all of cars and because you've got one, that makes it sick..

Remember it's got a Holden badge. He thinks every Holden is crap. Probably never had any real experience either, other than riding shotgun in a mate's worn out VP V6 for 5 minutes.

Never liked him, or his opinions.

Just poking a little fun. I respect people and their choices on the car - I have mates that drive Holdens and sure I crack a funny one here and there but its all fun and games.

My attitude doesnt cause trouble in the automotive enthusiast scene - the attitudes that do are the ones who says it seriously and takes it seriously. Friendly competition doesnt hurt.

Whats a pic of my car got to do with anything? When did I ever say my car is better/be all end all/fully sick? I'm just posting an opinion on the car of topic and cracking a funny one. :) Harden up - dont like my post theres an "ignore user" option in my profile - use it.

I dont like you or your opinions either.

As stated below - use it.

push rod engines dont rev, dont make power, and are clearly handicapped.

:P

You are joking about the don't make power remark aren't you? Bolt on a twin turbo kit onto a LS1 with just upgraded valve springs and you'll see 400rwkw. Bolt one onto a LS2 and you'll see 450-500rwkw.....How on earth is that not power?

looks f*kn tuff

i would buy one

and on the whole pushrod argument, and yes we've heard it all before

its relatively old technology compared to twin cam etc

but GM are still using it coz its still quite an effective set-up

personally im waiting for the big quad cam donk to start production in the near future hopefully

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
