Now that i finally have a SAFC II (thanks Bam)

The car went in this morning to xspeed to get sorted out.

hopefully i will be able to get rid of the blasted poping at 4.5K upwards and be able to give it fuul stick for once!:uh-huh:

the car went in with 165rwhp (filter, exhaust, BOV and bleed)

xspeed know their stuff right?

(i hope im not vialating any business agreement here on the forums, its just a harmless question...)

you would have to admit though, that there are your good tuners and your bad tuners! we have all heard stories of what went wrong with the odd tuning job at whatever tuning shop.

well its back....

good news and bad

good:

im up to a 249wrhp!!!!!

i should probably put alittle of the explination in to the difference of dynos ie. the 1st figure of 165hp was from tim slakos dyno and the recent firgure of 249hp is from the gene exhausts one.

plus also i guess i also have extra 3psi boost now plus a safc tuned car now... im so wraped :D

bad:

the pop/miss is still there. it showed up on the dyno HUGE TIME!

isnt not as bad now.

i hoping that the plugs are just fowled from it running too rich for sooo long.

i will also have to check the coil packs too i guess.

anyone clued up on this proceedure?

it it the resistance between terminal a + c?

thanks guys

Nate

yeah sorry steve, i was going to head up your way for the install/tune. but at the moment it was just more convenient for me and others around me, to get it done close.

any chance i can rattle your brains on the weekend over the popping/ possible ignition problem matter?

Hmmm, 249hp seems lowish. I had 245hp with just upped boost via my blitz sbc, dump+front pipe and stock ecu with no safc. Though this was done on steve's dyno

man youre car is good

i had a similar flatspot/misfire etc problem and it ended up being a coil pack. if you can get your hands on a spare one just swap them in and out til you find the culprit. or maybe try the ignitor module...

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
