i need this clarified - is this a stab at ppl skidding/drifting on public streets, or ppl racing on the freeway or what?

either way not a good idea

Sounds to me like hes defending them :ninja:

oh noes - brandon save yourself

QUICK!

+1 for not going to mercury, seemed like a nice bunch of lads but they scratched my rims, put my coilovers in my old car incorrectly, then tried to charge me $160 bucks to get them adjusted..

sons of bitches

killing season?

more epicness from colin incoming

I think only one person who actually works EFI was the driver of a car that night....and the 'skids' have been well blown out of proportion especially re the numbers of them.

From the SAU club you can count Warwick, Noel, Big Dave, Chris and a few random others as very happy clients

I know you guys have opinions and i have no interest in changing them but i dont want some one to come along and only see one side of the story

I've never understood the EFI opinion tbh. Everyone I've spoken to is happy with the work and speaking to whitey before the Baskins meet and at the SAU dyno etc he comes across as a nice guy who knows what he's talking about. Vouches from Dan, Noel, Anna n Andy etc says a lot about the work they do.

and principle, absolutely.

stubbornness FTW

:ninja:

I forget, what did EFI do on your car? And who's bashing them? We already said it's not bashing, it's opinion gathering.

ahhhhh I forgot you couldn't crash when driving in a straight line!

and four lanes means that if you do crash, you can't possibly kill an innocent person in the wrong place at the wrong time.

That logic is similar to "It's ok if I drive drunk... I don't have far to go"

I understand this and agree but I am in no position to critisise how anybody else drives on the road whether it is illegal etc since I have a pretty horrendous driving record. Although I can justify each situation n fine and will argue the point I was putting nobody in danger but myself it's still dangerous and it's still illegal.

M1 on my way home the other night (middle of the night)... saw at least 70 other cars... just on the inbound side

Springbrook the other week (middle of the night)... saw....... Colin

As I said still dangerous n illegal but I couldn't care less if other people want to race down the M1. Their choice.

I'm not basing my opinion on just that night

So I hear

I have box for them ;)

I'd guess yes, but its just a guess

IMO, that does not make it ANY way better

They ALL behaved like idiots (not just talking about skids)

mercury, now theres a shop I WILL happily bash

+1

+1

Well said

The main issue I had with all the EFI crew when they came to baskins is they didn't come over n introduce themselves or talk to anyone else bar their own little group. It annoyed me and I spose it goes both ways but still...

I'm dissapointed in you brandon

+1

Tell him to show his dirty mexican face at baskins

+1 for the dirty mexican lol

Fairly sure that's a stab at John and I. Leisurely drive through the mountains at 3am in the morning but still I won't defend it I know it's wrong but I won't stop doing it. Well after Sunday I will...for awhile :)

Sounds to me like hes defending them :down:

Nah definetely not defending us lol :P N don't give me the thumbs down you were there to!

photoshop one onto my gf's head in my display pic :ninja:

Display pic is lame. send me nekkid/semi nekkid pics and I'll do it

I thought we all spoke fluent pom by now?

P.S.

Tris why are you reppin JDM garage?

b4stards dogged me on my engine

actually a semi epic reply lol. for once.

Lawd above! Hey one 'undred an' thirty emo son of rajab Fauntleroy get yaaahr SR on da frod an' toad so we gok wan get some drift acshun going., innit.

loloskates

so you ended up with a rebuilt SR Tristan?

yeh - i couldnt resist :ninja:

I wasn't driving :down:

Heres how I see it: I will happily go for a spirited drive through the mountains. This can involve breaking the law, but its a stupid law that doesn't help anyone (ie stupidly low speed limits). I do it for the enjoyment of the drive, and always follow 1 rule: 7 tenths. Stick to your lane, stick to your limits, enjoy yourself. ANY form of street racing, whethere its initial D style through the mountains, or 2F2F city racing, or hektik high speed M1 runs, is DANGEROUS. Its a race, so theres no 7/10ths: its all out. Thats human nature - we want to win. So theres no margin for error, and when it goes wrong its going to go horribly wrong. This type of driving is ALWAYS dangerous, and should not be done anywhere near the street. The people who say its not their business how someone else drives, wait till that someone else kills someone you love being a d1ckhead. This is what racetracks are for. We have 2 great ones in SE QLD, it doesnt cost that much, and you can go all out and know that worst case the only people going to suffer are yourself, and other people who HAVE WILLINGLY CHOSEN to be in the same situation. At QR you can go at 11 tenths and when you f*ck up, most likely the car will come out unscathed and you can have a good laugh at it. If brown stains on your pants are more your style, give lakeside a go.

Same applies to street drifting. Drifting is great fun, but the nature of it is that it is controlled unstability: Its just not safe to do it on the street where you could lose it at any time. Do it on the track.

    • @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.
