Guy, going to use that 2x girl closeup pic as my desktop, very nice (just usual windows theme, until now) :blush:

yeah tis warm, but hey its Adelaide. every year we should expect 2 weeks of 39+

my joints prefer the summer without doubt BUT the durogesic morphine patches I take have a side effect for me: sweats

so think of a hot day (duh not hard with yesterdays 45.7) then add in the constant side-effect sweats. yuk, very greasy

we've changed the bedsheets every day for weeks 'cause Im a grot

LOL i heard about the Noarlunga Line getting ruined from the heat.

i almost died yesterday when i went outside, there was a point where it looked cloudy so i bugged my mum to go shopping then, i completely forgot about humidity. last night came out from the hospital about 10pm and OMG it was still friggin hot but thank god for the air con.

had the air con plus a fan on last night lol, it felt soooooo good

To all the blokes working in the heat..Feel your pain!! Injection moulding factory + heat = HOT!!

Hot days are great so long as it cools down enough at night so you can sleep properly! We had our aircon on all night and it really didn't do a whole lot of cooling!! There was cool air coming outta the vents but it just wouldn't cool the place down!!

I don't mind the heat so much. It is ridiculous but its also quite awesome.

Hopefully it encourages some more of this sort of action:

HAHA! :blush: Though I did hear that bikini carwashes aren't allowed in SA for some reason. Anyone else hear that??

Well I just got home from work (I purposely organised an early start and finish) and have poured myself a large double Johnny Black and Coke full of ice and have plopped myself in front of the TV in 23 degree comfort for the afternoon .... ah the life :blush:

rather been vomiting than in long thick pants, steal toe boots, some "breathing top" and leather gloves, dealing with like 55-60 wheels and very hot bolts.

*runs to bathroom*

i swear its better. lol.....

what i would give to have an office job tho. Should really go back to tafe and finish my Diploma in Multimedia.

you know its hot when you have to sleep downstairs because upstairs it hot as hell (even with ducted aircon)

*sigh*

anyone else want a really cold night right about now, dying for one to go for a drive, not even starting my skyline in this weather, my daily (commodore) on the other hand, it doesnt matter, commodore aircons are crapp!! thought i may add that lol.

I envy you andrew

wish i could have started early

but i can go home anytime that i want lol

which is a bonus

You know its going to be a hot day when you get to work at 5am and its already 35 degrees. God it was so humid this morning!

Apparently we got thunder storms on the way tonight?

it was about 35degress all night lol.

    • @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.
