lol i was thinking so I could see where I was going when I flip the car. lexan on roof won't be clear, otherwise I'll ahve the sun blaring into the cabin.

Ooh is that new etched primer !?! ? :(

yeah fresh coat :) lol stops it turning into a rust bucket. its just iron/steel primer. its all gotten come out before i etch it, easily removable to.

wait s14 drifta lost his licence?! how why when?

yeah duno when, but ant u suppose to ring me?

shan, get one of the boys to tig in a piece of sheet, fill the sunroof up.?? or u doing complete roof swap?

complete roof swap, piss easy on an s14. only spotwelded in. i'll probably just use a thin composite on it. maybe get a roof scoop goin lol. hmmm might see if i can find any square pieces of carbon fibre.

why wouldn't you just use the right gauge wire n run em straight into the plug in the first place instead of soldering?

did a lil work on the S14 today and untacked the roof skin. thinkin of just replacing it with lexan... hmmm. failing that i'll just put a non sunroof roofskin on the s14 and swap the sunroof over to the ceffy.

racecars don't need sunroofs... right?

My roof is comming out

we're hero racers

why wouldn't you just use the right gauge wire n run em straight into the plug in the first place instead of soldering?

exactly. or use bullet plugs for that extra resistance loss. LOL

hey josh, so much for test fitting that hoop.

Don't hate me.

I was going to call, but forgot. I'll buy you flowers.

Should have sent me a txt!

dunn have ur number.

but flowers make everything better.

sorry did not bother to reply to you cause i was rushing out to see transformers 2 with my missus..

loved it.. anyways..

can always do what nismoboy is thinking.. i believe somewhere is selling carbon fibre bits that slot right into the sunroof thingy..i was thinking about it too but i dont know about price though..

infact you could also leave it as normal and put superfunhappysliders vinyl on it so when your in midst of rolling and flipping the bird people will also notice the awesomeness of superfun! hehehe

wow astro 2.5 hrs late..

not looking good for ur first day lol..

hope your hands are warm when you arrive.. your gonna be cupping boy :) arrrr :)

duuude im feeling sick as a dog :)

ill be able to cup tmr *fingers crossed*

    • @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.
