Need to do Turbo, FMIC, Coilovers, A/C compressor, Seats and Steering Wheel. I know its not that much really but we're talking about me here. Oh and also RB26 Injectors - I believe it already has an upgraded pump, but if not, that too.

i have a case of CC's n dry....very nice taste

So who is going to help me now????

cc dry... you just became my new (temporary) best friend.

lol. ill give you both a hand with all that.

yay i has a temp new friend :P

I will go and see andrew at am on friday and get him to make the intake and dump pipe and that way once they are made we can start on it straight away.....roughly how long will it take Dave to slap it all in????

dunno. depends how many cc dry's ive had and how awkward the rb is to work on. should be about a couple days (i like leaving a margin of error). now takes me about 90 minutes to do a turbo on the sr.

question, rb uses locking tabs on the turbo studs, yeah? if so, f**k them off and buy some prevailing torque nuts, theyre a slight pain in the ass, but i doubt they'll f**k out as quick as the lock tabs.

lol i have no idea what you speak off there Dave.....

lol. find out when we pull your turbo off i spose. but add maybe $10 for half a dozen prevailing torque nuts.

when you wanna do it?

When andrew has finished making the intake and dump pipe....will take the turbo to him on friday

CC is my fav. Basically sleep with the stuff.

However just got nice little connection atm. $80 dollar Cognac bottles for $30. very very nice stuff.

oh, so this thread is talk about villis?

i may be there for a bit, meant to be getting the bitch muddy again, but got a lot on this weekend so dont know if thats wise

save the mudding for saturday, ive got the weekend off and will be in need of cheap luls. :)

Ok my bad >_< I fly in to Adelaide at 10:30pm....Was looking at the wrong details LOL

Doubt you guys will be at villies still that late...

around that time we usually are at BP lol...but since we aint going there no more who knows where we will be

Oh you guys still do that.....

I used to hang at Shell LOL ...That was a longggggggggggg time ago now tho :down:

Well I will be at the public meeting if all else fails! >_<

save the mudding for saturday, ive got the weekend off and will be in need of cheap luls. :rolleyes:

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
