I have decided to post the results in the thread...

The previous test back in Feb 07 my results were

THC 0.39 NOX 1.01 CO 2.6 CO2 287.3

That was a pass. the requirements for my model car is

THC 0.93 NOX 1.93 CO 9.3 (CO2 not required)

Yesterday the results were....

THC 0.62 NOX 0.69 CO 1.1 CO2 312.7

If it was not for the fuel spike when going up the hill at about 170 seconds in then the THC would have been down to around 0.25 I would say... If i had of used the same CAT as i used last time.. things would be very different.

HOLY CRAP!

I been reading on the net a bit about IM240, and i came across this.. In California..

"Help for poor folks. If a vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, but the owner cannot afford to make the repairs, the owner may be granted a "repair cost waiver" if the owner first pays for at least $450 in emissions-related repairs at a licensed repair station. This waiver is good for two years, and only one waiver will be issued while the motorist owns the vehicle."

AND...

"There is also an "economic hardship extension" for qualified low-income motorists. Like the Repair Cost Waiver, the extension is valid for two years and may be obtained only once during a motorist's ownership of a vehicle. However, to obtain an extension, motorists must spend $250 on emissions-related repairs at a licensed Smog Check station, or have an estimate from a licensed Smog Check station showing that a single repair would cost more than $250. Motorists must also verify their household income, which must be at or below 175% of the federal poverty level (about $29,000 a year for a family of four)."

WOW!.. I wonder how many people here could have applied for the "repair cost waiver" LOL

That's not a joke. Ethanol is alcohol. It is the basis of commercially produced spirits. Apparently people who make their own ethanol have to put some (2%) petrol in it 'so that no one will drink it. In American Drag racing there is a class called "Top Alcohol" which is for methanol powered cars (methanol is chemically very similar to ethanol but methanol is naturally poisonous so undrinkable).

Aus has a top alcohol division as well... bloody kiwis :wave:

They add Methanol to ethanol to make it undrinkable, not petrol. This is what you would know as Methylated Sprits or Denatured Alcohol. It used to be about 10% Methanol that was added to Ethanol.

Top Alcohol as a drag racing class is bloody awesome and is run in many countries including Australia.

Yeah Father Dirt has a early chrissy pressy for me when i go back up to newcastle on friday :(

hmmmm.. going to be interesting trying to tune this ecu :) lucky i have the master AC from Turbotechnics to help me on saturday

Guess who's got themselves a new more advanced ECU...flat shift, launch control, anti-lag, full logging etc...?

And it will now allow the car to be driven while its raining!

Ahh AC the master AT

yeah looks like it mate. I cannot move forward with the PFC anymore.. I have learnt all i need to know about PFC's.. time to move onto bigger and better things.

what the funk?!

You're dropping the PFC?!

I CARN BELEEF!

Yes and he is removing The KLF from his CD collection too.

The 90's were very good but its time to move on.

GTST i always thought the LX Torana style drop tank was more his look.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
