nah man cmon u gotta get the right viscosities.... otherwise car just dun feel right... i find 5w-50 mobil 1 to be schmick in my car... no ticking on cold which shows the oil is getting right through the engine from square one and feels smooth whilst warm and running hard ;)

as for the filter ill go to ryco's site... hmm now where is nismor34's post with the ryco linkage...

u will b able to match a filter at repco, just use their oil filters

and use mobil 1...no point being tight on a car when u spend the money to buy it...such a major part of the car, spend the extra $20 and do it properley

u wouldnt run your car on standard pump fuel would u..and this the engine oil....

im not saying to buy cheap stuff.... magnatec is perfectly suited if not designed for turbo cars..... this costs around 28-35 dollars...blah blah blah im not going to go into the detalis of this oil but if there was another oil which cost 80 dollars and the description was exactly the same... i personally would buy the magnatec...its great that everyone looks after their cars (i look after mine too) but there is such a thing as over looking after if you catch my drift... :D

hey i agree akeenan. if you have a trusty brand with a viscosity range of your liking, then read the descriptions.

i'll drop my dacks and run to the city and back if anyone can prove that a good brand $40 10w50 oil is any different to a good brand $30 10w50 oil. Plus, you save $10... in a year that's enough for a bleed valve...

hey i agree akeenan

dude thankyou, now i dont look like such a tight arse.

i think sometimes companies try and sucker people in with the price of things....being tight and being ripped off for certain things even oil are 2 different things.

i will join you in that run to the city and back! ;)

ok nathan i just brought the latest HPI which so happens to be a Soarer/Supra edition which has servicing tips in it....

MOBIL 1 or any high quality synthetic oil

Filter just go to repco or something.

    • @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.
