My dear son of rajab. If ever there was a candidate for an axe to the gooch this is the one.

from what I can gather he lives up the coast... I think I need to find details so we can go beat him up

God dammit... where is everyone? I feel like i have Martin's disease :)

Sorry mang, researching fun stuff like seam welding and roll cages

also the net here has aids today :D keeps dropping out

Did you guys miss me at all??

Nope :D

Did you guys miss me at all?? I'm on my way to the airport about to get on a plane back to brizzzzzzzz

sup?!

Scrackin mang, How was melbourne? Did you go see our favourite black man?

Nope :)

Would like to know more about seam welding.

we fapped over your facebook to keep ourselves busy <3

Pretty much :D

for project alfa?

You know it

+1 <3

Would like to know more about seam welding.

Summary of what I have learned so far:

  • Cage first, then seam weld (cage helps prevent heat warping the metal)
  • Better if it can be on a chassis rig, but failing that, weight should be on the stock suspension points
  • Weld inch on, inch off (solid welding bad)
  • Try to move around a lot when doing it to stop one area copping a lot of heat at once
  • Only do strut tower to strut tower, no point going further forward or back and can in fact make accident damage worse

have not seened. up to episode 8 so far.

can't find episode 16 for download either. it's annoying the crap out of me. got 15, 17 & 18 with no 16 ;)

I'll bring it for you

What do you want to know???

How much? Whats it come with? Where is it? Pics/etc?

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • 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.
