This thread has been a consistent delivery of lols, very impressed :D

Thinking i might start to Nav, i don't earn the bucks like you blokes, be a fun way to get into it. Plus I'm a good passenger, especially on dirt roads in WRXs ha ha.

I started as a nav for a mate, we had a ball until family stepped in the way. Then I navved for another dude, then he quite it too. I couldn't turn my back on it, so I decided to turn tricks on weekends to help fund it. Kind of painful having to turn Benson away all the time, I told him I don't know how many times that I don't roll that way but he's insistent. Maybe he just sees me as a challenge?

Just one... you're in a class of your own Woo!!

Poof. Aren't you still overseas or somethin? If not, GO BACK!

Treat 'em mean keep 'em keen?

Yes mate, back and full steam into it... big targa season ahead and plenty of teams doing work in the off season and everyone beating on the door.

White Hot, Supaloc, VIP, Just Jap and Yellow Racing to name only a few have all have plenty of work underway.

More new bits arrivng for the RX-7 too, and confirmed my nav while I was away for Rally Tas 2012 too!

Your Nav? Hang on! What have I missed? Can you drives withs gears?

Supaloc, new V12 thing innit? Reading the tests on them, they sound absolutely amazing, a huge leap forward from the Murci, the last actual Italian designed one.

Was speaking to Baldrick on the weekend, and he recons that YT has a new Gallardo, and weeks is running Murci and not the Aventadore. But it's from Baldrick so they could still rock up in anything.

Lolz

But, Big John did get a new Gallardo it turned up during targa this year.

Aventadore, maybe its a hybrid Commoghini?

Yellow Racing - ZR1?? :)

They went to the States recently and track tested a whole bunch of stuff from Ferrari to Vettes..... not sure what the preference was. I do recall one of them telling me that the Z06 was more suitable to racing than the ZR1. Unsure why though.

Same for Z06 though. They actually took a car to my mate across the road who does lots of cages (and many of theirs prior), he suggested that the entire car would need to come apart to do it properly (basically make a self supporting steel cage in and undr the car), but they decided to take it away and have it done elsewhere. Not sure of the outcome.

    • @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.
