WIN!

You know it. Fun fun fun.

Crisis averted. Brisbane didn't flood :down:

Just bits of it did.

needs moar floods

so sick of false promises :D

Thats what she said

nah money is a bit tight at the mo... have to wait until tax time

Yeah bring on tax time. Can't wait to get some money back this time instead of an epic bill :)

P.S. Morning mangs

yeah boi

thanks :) just let me know whenever is good for you. I need to take it from Stafford to Aspley. I have ratchet straps if needed

annnnnnnd - opinions on this? Would it be a good enough temporary solution/trouble shooter to make sure I'm holding boost ok? I really don't want to pay much for one because I just want it for a couple of comparisons. So basically... I don't need it to live very long, just need it to be somewhat accurate.

This arvo? Tomorrow arvo? Saturday?

I has a mechanical boost guage in the ute if you want to borrow it for a bit. I need it back to put on the mower at some stage but :)

This afternoon works fine for me. What time are you thinking?

Would take you up on the offer if I knew how long I was going to be tooling around with it, don't want to wind up taking it out of the ute then not using it for 5 months and giving it back and needing it 2 months later lol. I want to get one so I can install it and test my boost for now. But down the track when I get my front mount I want to get the boost wound up a bit too, and just want it in there to check it holds boost alright after driving it around a bit. Also want to see what happens after I let Dan turn my blow off valve into a flutter valve, and (before Dan plays with it) compare it with my other blow off valve(Thanks again Ravi!!) to see if one builds boost faster... it seems to.

I should be home sometime around 4-4:30 ish. Assuming my housemate hasn't crimmed the XF, any time after that.

Furry Muff.

In that case, I'm sure that one you posted will be fine. It looks to be similar to the saber/autogauge ones, so Tas will give you sh*t because they aren't defi, but Tas is a brand wh*re. They should be reasonably accurate and will do the job.

As I said when you were here, just blank the f**ker off. If it f**ks your turbo, then you've got an excuse to upgrade :)

I've got a custom blanking plate made from quality billet steel with a high-temp ceramic coating you can use for a bit if you want. See the pics. Had it on mine for a while but got over it hahaha.

Well, just gimme a call or whatever and let me know the plan of attack :cool:

I don't like the Defi ones anyway. I think they're ricer and are made with 7% synthetics and 93% gay. So he can give me shit about NOT putting rice on my car, I don't mind :)

As I said when you were here, just blank the f**ker off. If it f**ks your turbo, then you've got an excuse to upgrade :wave:

And as I said. That's all well and good if you can afford to buy a new turbo when it shits itself :ninja: (plus I haven't the faintest idea how to change the thing, so I'd have to pay for that too)

Yeah true, I can't say I have money to do it either. But putting a direct replacement on looks pretty easy, I've seen all the tutorials and a friend has explained it for me and yeah, pretty easy.

But flutters = epic. Nuff said.

Having said that, best option is to not f**k the original one anyway hahahahaha you're right.

It won't wreck your turbo.

Changing turbos is easy

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
