Okay Pre-Meet #2

McDonalds© - Corner, Chadstone Road & Princes Hwy (Mel 69 D4)

Time – Meet 8:30am – Depart 8:40am( Roughly ) Then we travel along the Princes Hwy (Dandenong Road) Towards The city which on the way we will join JamesZilla & whoever else is waiting with him (Around The Prahran Area) Then we will continue to the Main Meet point (Refer to First Page).

This meet is for all the people coming from this side of town, like the people who are meeting @ Glen Waverly etc…

You do not have to meet here if you don’t want to, I will be waiting their early having some McBreakfast goodies (I’ll be most likely on the outside tables) I will be waiting till 8:50am at MAX (if worse comes to worse) since that is the time that I have arranged to meet jameszilla about 8:50-9:00am and I really don’t want to keep people waiting.

Whoever feels comfortable to lead the pack to the main meet point be my guest as long as you have a good idea where to go (assume most people have had a look at the melway). I’m going to check over the melway properly so I know exactly where I need to go and set some pace at the front if need be.

Please Tank up fuel either at the Main meet point (Refer to First Page) or before we start cruising from the Chadstone area as I rather not stop until we get to the main point.

The times are set so we get their on time & not be late. Like mentioned before if you want to come to Chadstone McDonalds I’ll be waiting if not that’s fine.

Any questions Pm or email me.

Cheers Rob

The lower speed limits haven't come into effect yet. They are going to be put in around Christmas.

The speed will range from 50-80 depending on how fast you should be going around the corners in certain areas. I had a look at the plans last week. The section between Lorne and Apollo Bay will be they slowest, as it is the tightest.

Rob,

I bought the Meguiar's scratch X and applied it several time with no effect. The scratchs seemed pretty shallow so i thought only the clear coat was scratched... oh well i was wrong.

I'm getting my bumper painted and refitted, hopefully i get car back by Saturday.

Cheers.

    • @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.
