Also John hows the SSQ

big, shiny, heavy. waiting for me to obtain tools to put it on. The other one is big, not as shiny, slightly heavier, and waiting for me to talk to Dan about where/how to attach that one (it goes into a pipe somewhere).

Once I've given them both a bit of a thrashing I'll let you know how they work out :(

also - for those who are up on the current what's what with my car.

I'm just waiting on my boost gauge to arrive in the mail :(

allllllso - for anyone to field. Do I really NEED an aftermarket ECU to hit the 300 killerwasps mark?

yeah you do, the stock ecu will start being gay before then, especially given that you will need to change injectors...but the only reason i suggested vipec was because you mentioned getting rid of the afm, if you are happy to keep the afm nistune it.

soooo......

Avatar is a complete piece of boring ass shit. Only good thing about it was getting to see that silly mole Michelle Rodriguez die again. Predictable rehashed phone in hack of a movie.

How do I go about getting back the 2hs 41mins of my life? Does anyone have a flux capacitor?

Avatar's not THAT bad... its the same old story... boy meets girl, boy overcomes challenge, boy gets girl... Pocahontas anyone?

The 3D was pretty I just wish they made 300 in 3D...

head.......... assplode....

so many different ways.

Ok. This week = nistune vs vipec study. Hopefully brain doesn't melt down.

Thanks Andy. I was leaning towards GTR injectors. They should be ok shouldn't they?

nistune is a lot cheaper and more than capable, vipec has a lot of stuff you will probably never use. if you are happy with keeping the AFM i would seriously go the nistune, i wouldnt be able to justify the cost of the vipec. GTR injectors will be plenty for your application.

The graphics really didn't do anything for me. I did like the light up floor... but it was cooler in "Big" because it was a piano then, and original. And as fas as I'm concerned the movie "Field Of Dreams" had MUCH better scenery effects.

The animals were all just... lamepants. Each animal had a different roar of different dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. The black panther thing was the T-Rex, the little coyote things were the Dilophosaurus, the horse things were the raptor "honk" and the birds were the raptor "hiss".

The "helicopters" made NO SENSE AT ALL. If those blades are encased in a big circular shield, then they shouldn't sound like helicopter blades because the tips aren't cutting through the air making that "WHUP WHUP WHUP" sound.

..so... nothing really stood out as original, or groundbreaking. Was just a 3hr story that could have been easily half that. Only that wouldn't have stroked Cameron's ego quite as sufficiently.

and 300 would still have been a terrible movie even if it was in 3D.

I'll keep that in mind whilst doing my "research" :(

The only reason to watch avatar was at the movies, on the big screen, in 3D. Anything else and it would have just been shit.

Hell it was shit at the movies too, just epic 3D shit :(

i is back from the west.

John:

Make a date, im good for this weekend if you, jason, martin are.

German club wednesday night sounds good.

farkers, i miss out on german club

on a funny side note, on our way to our hotel from the airport in NY, drove past 3 separate sports fields, on 2 of those, people were playing bloody cricket.

these were three separate sports fields in three different suburbs. last thing i expected to see here was cricket.

Exactly, its all it was.. watching it in 2D is like watching a dvd on a 30cm CTV.... cough cough

300 was great for the action, what more do you expect of Spartans?

This weekend probably not great, mothers day on sunday.

I can probably do saturday though if you want

+1

I'm not surprised, cricket is awesome.

What about sexy dave?

is sexy.

SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just back reading, yep john you'll need an ecu/chipped ecu to run 440cc injectors and to make 300hp

agreed vipec would be over kill

aaaaand! agreed sexy dave is so sexy

    • @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.
