well no power loss or brownouts for me.

but on top of the heat my car got blasted by a couple of kilos of sand last night. parked at a mates house for a few hours , came out to a brwon/red car covered in dirt/sand.photos coming soon.. looks really bad ... hope the inside vents and drains didnt clog with dirt too..lol

and i was parked for only a few hours near the beach, bet some of you in town had it worse?

Haha try camping at Rapid Bay in a tent! Did that shit last night... crazy wind! 2 tents actually snapped (well, one of the poles holding it up snapped).

Hooray for Big W tents!! Haha $30 tent from Big W = disposable tent.

Then we went walking... scaled the now closed rusty bridge, was awesome. Then walked in the old BHP mine site... that was also awesome. Then tried my hand at fishing... that was a failure. I caught some tiny fish that had some form of bug coming out its eye balls.

That's 2 awesome things in one weekend. It was pretty awesome.

Cronic I used to go to one of the shacks at Rapid Bay all the time.

Did you head down to the cave? Well, its more of a hole in the hill. If fishing fails can always try your hand at the yabbies.

Oh and you are aware about the human remains they found buried next to the tennis courts/oval? No kidding.

PS that mine/plant/whatever near the Jetty still operating?

Yeah Tom, went to that huge cave. Never realised that it goes in so deep!! We walked in, climbed up and started walking through that small tunnel part until it just went pitch black! It went on for ages! Didn't even reach the end due to lack of any form of light.

I wouldn't put it past anyone buring a body in that cave/mine site... let alone next to the tennis court!! It's a pretty strange down. It's basically abandoned.

And nope, that mine (BHP one) has shut down. It was still half-working about 9 years ago, but now it's completely shut down. They've bulldozed the front of it where a huge conveyor belt used to be hanging out, though. Which is a shame, as you could walk on the conveyor belt and walk into the mine. I managed to climb up and into the mine itself, but it's pretty crazy in there. Everything is rusted out and there's graffiti everywhere inside the actual mine itself. Crazy stuff. Reminds me of some abandoned ghost mine or something.

This is what I'm talking about:

You can still walk in it, you just need to climb up heaps of stuff!!

Oh and they've finished building a new jetty down there. The old jetty has now been fenced off.

Edit: here's a better pic of that mine I'm talking about.

Edited by CRoNic...

are there holes still cut in the fences/gates cronic i went there a few weeks back caught heaps off mackerel, cod , snook , squid , and then a massive

white pointer came and scared all the fish had my

hunting spotlight so seen the shark at night no worries i was all the way at the end.!

i was using the mackerel as live bait on my braided 50ib combo so brought it in nice a quick so i wouldn't hook up on the shark,. It chased it i was like no don't get that fish if i did hook up on that massive white pointer i would have shat it not the safest jetty for that stuff when ur at the end.

+ there a protected species.

bit creepy at knight not even a servo open so i grab a farmers union IC maybe more ppl might visit now the new jetty is done.

They buldozed that side of the mine? Shame, childhood memories. I should go see the new Jetty, think it will bring the town back to life?

Oh and yeah it was on the news, they found aboriginal remains near that shed.

It's pretty hard to walk over the old jetty now - the fence is pretty solid with plenty of barb wire!! But if you're tall, you can still climb over it.

There's 2 fences leading to the new jetty, too... but they're hacked up lol so they're easy to get through!!

Yeah, no shops are open at Rapid Bay anymore! Not even the General Store! That shut down.

Damn man, u seriously deserve some beers for that effort.... boss shows u any love? I always feel for the guys fixing the shit, we had the blokes come past around 3am on Wed to fix the outage in our street... tis a thankless job eh

-D

bosses were showing love, they changed our pay rate for the times on, and gave us the availability allowance

at least i can pay a few bills off this week LOL

lol dont worry about paying ya bills let's see if ya can keep the power on at my place at night time and i will buy ya a cold slab lol

if the thieves would stop taking apart the "tek-screw fence" at elizabeth downs sub and stealing the copper we'd be alright >_<

fingers crossed yours stays on :bunny:

    • @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.
