I was thinking about painting the mags (powder coated) metallic black and leaving the outer lip polished aluminum, what do u guys reckon?

Hey luke,

How much difference does a half cage make?

Does the chassis feel tighter?

Does it help much with going sideways?

Where are the mounting points on a 4door?

Is it very difficult for passengers to get in and out of now?

Did you have to chop much of the interior trim?

Hey mate,

Chassis feels alot stiffer with next to no body roll. When jaking the car up from the rear tow hook it raises evenly. I only do grip (4wd) but out on track steering is very responsive. I had to drill holes to mount it in. mounting points are on the rear wheel arches, right behind the drivers seat near the door and in the front on the floor. I just leave my back seat out, roof lining stays in, sunvisors come out.

Cheers Luke

Thankjs for the reply,

So does the extra stiffness out weigh the added weight?

Ive removed sound deadening, A/C, heaps of shit behind the dash so i should still be below the factory weight.

Wanna get it on a weigh bridge and see how much it is. Later on will be fibre/cf doors, bonnet, boot etc but not for awhile.

    • @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.
