so with the brake disconeccted, pump the brakes for 30 seconds then what??? what does this do?

no just disconnect the battery, then pump the brakes dont ask me how but supposidly it drains all the circuits and resets the ecu, i actually tried it once with a prob and cleared it for a few montsh till i went power fc

ok so im just in from the shed and i have done the following:

1) took out and taped up every coil to cover any possible "cracks"

2) undid battery, let it sit for a bit while hitting the brake pedal and playing with the light switches (whats that ment to do if there is no power?) then reconected it all up again

now for the test run, i did about 20 standing starts, pushing hard through first gear all the way up untill hard in 4th.....and it was perfect, not one backfire, there was a small hessitant bit in one of the launches though....

but then as i went to take a corner hard in first gear over 4000rpm is backfired and coughed like crazy, this would suggest a problem either in the fuel tank pump or with the new fuel pump the previous owner put in????? only did it in corners under hard excelaration, like as if the force of the car was moving a pump and not picking up correctly???

cheers

how much fuel you got in that tank?........if its only doing it around corners now, you might want to consider fuel surge

ok sounjds like surge, i recommend taking out the pump and make sure it was put in properly possibly not set up correctly and the pick up is too high, if its like a walbro the pump will be small and maybe set up in the cradle to high, if she low on fuel take out the pump now!

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
