How's things. Did your video turn out allright from the autosalon?

Anyway I have had my bar done. It was through SAS paint and panel down winfield way. He done a great job. The guy at SAS his name escapes me now Mario I think has a mate who actually does the welding. Cost about $100 for welding and a bit over $300 for Mario to finish and paint it. I will try and send you a picture. I had the car at the last cruise and unfortunately will probably miss the next cruise due to being away.

Greg.

Ok the boost controller isn't actually in yet as i'm at the moment typing with black hands and doing my rear brakes :)

Anyway yes I did consider the AVCR but i've been told by to many people/tuners that it is a piece of crap.

Apparently you think you get it setup right and then it goes out and you have to fiddle with it again.

Whereas the Blitz apparently you set and forget the apexi avcr isn't like that.

With the Blitz SBC-iD it is a duel solanoid boost controller that has the usual fuzzy logic and manual/auto modes, scramble etc..

It also has an addon which is called the Power-iD I think which this is the part I liked. :) you can set boost to certian speeds i.e 0-60 12psi then 60-100 15psi then 100+ 100psi :)

Anyway you get the idea. It also tells you estimated horsepower/kw, 0-100 dash 1/4 etc it also has graphs of boost from down low to up top etc..

its got a record function etc..

anway it is around the $1045 mark bran new then I think it costs around $50 to get it over here.

BUT you can buy one here but every 1 says they are $1600 or more.

OR.. You can buy them from where I also get the PowerFC's for ~$900.

The Boost levels at different speeds is what i want as on std boost there is no where near as much wheel spin in first but it is controllable.

Yeah the blitz ones are supposed to be the best at controlling boost. I was going to get a dual sbc but then I got my turbo and will have an external gate, so I will set it and forget. John with the gtrs is trying to sell one, while they dont ahve all the fancy functions they give accurate boost control.

I'll come on a cruise when I get a chance!! I have been in cairns for 3 weeks... am going to singapore middle of next month and leicester in england at the end of october. All for work... we are installing our software system. So I haven't had a chance to finish the red car... still have to put in standard cams and retune... and fit my R33 box and get tailshaft shortened... then I can cruise... so maybe November... urgh

Boosted32, can you give me the details of the place where you got your front bumper painted?

Also, I need to cut a hole on the bumper cause at the moment air isn't going through properly, the vents are blocked by you know how the standard bumper has all those lines....does anyone know where I can get this done?

plastic welding done at:

Headlamp Supplies & plastic crash repairs

28 Holland street, Thebarton

8443 7077

(I cut the bumper myself)

Painted at:

Beverley auto Repairs

128 William Street, Beverly

8268 7364

Just see what prices they can do... I got it done a while ago and we did some of the preparation ourself so it was cheaper.

    • @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.
