Thanks for everyone that came out today! And thanks for UAS for having us again and also thanks to the two blokes who came to help line up the cars and check them before the dyno...forgot your name already sorry mate!

Good day though im extremely sunburnt now lol

no problems. my name is ben. i was the one in the white shirt checking everyone's cars

was good to meet some of you sau guys. i might have to attend some more of these events :D was a good day

i was even game enough to try the food :(

woo, post number 6!! :D

ah Ben that's it! sorry I am shit with names lol

Sorry I couldn't stay longer, but I had to go to a wedding. It was good meeting a few of you. Next time I'll stay longer and hopefully put the car on instead of it just sitting pretty in the car park haha.

Babek, Rb26 took you out whats going on?! What happened?

Oh wait - You tube.. Wow man, hope that didnt have an effect Nice run!

Yeah that was a machin. I was hoping to get good numbers on the 1st run but cold tyres, meh :P

also i need a clutch and some bits and peices so she doesnt squert on guys like that AGAIN lol :D

Hey Dale, was nice to meet you. didnt realise you were PSI Parts until it was too late. Wanted to see if you had some bits n pieces for sale

I came more for the cars rather than to try and sell stuff :P

Not sure if many people saw but I had a Carbon Fibre helmet out for a little while that has been discussed on the forum lately.

Now that I am awake & sober again...

Great to see you all yesterday; my votes of thanks go to (in no particular order)

* SAU team for organizing, venue, event, food etc...

* UAS for hosting and staffing - especially to Mr. Dyno Man (Ben I believe?) for the extra runs...

* GTRsean for the spy shot (and somehow NOT getting me in the photo)

* All the people who were good enough to share info about their cars / development process

* Everyone there for not being complete tossers and putting on a positive atmosphere unlike a few other days we've been to(girls appreciated that, first comment made after we left)

Ended the day with 326.9rwkw - had some boosting issues, and had to run a lower amount compared to when we made 350. Goal for 2009 - break 400rwkw :P

Top radiator pipe poped out. loose clamp or too high pressure.

but its all goo so far :P

It didn't do a head gasket and pressurise the coolant system? Hope it was only a loose/faulty clamp.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
