nissan factory manuals sh*t all over these alfa ones

Fair enough. I think dad has an old haynes manual for Escorts around somewhere. Love haynes manuals.

+1

+1 good call Ravi.

not so much for crash but for chassis stiffness. The extra diagonal in them is probably a waste but I don't like squares :)

What about just an X rather than the square with a diagonal. I'd say it would provide similar stiffness with less weight.

oh, and will seam weld from the a pillars to all the front suspension mount points. Theres just no practical way to get enough cage bars through there :D

Sounds good. Whats the goal for completion? Is it going to be fairly drawn out ie 2012 sometime or are you going to hammer it through and be racing in 2011?

oh hai!

whats happening guysss?

ps i just drove down stafford road - phantom motors no longer exists?

Hai sexy legs.

nm is happening mang just working. You get your exam timetable yet? 8,10,17,18 and 22nd of June for me. Spread out a bit which is good but 5 exams fml.

Phantom have relocated I think.

Whats there now?

Are you happy with the tune you got from STZ mang? They are a haltech premium rep or something... (gonna run a PS2000 on the alfa)

X's are just as bad as squares. Think of a pair of scissors... although an X with the 2 ends (no sides) might be OK, ie:

rear brace->|X|<-harness bar

worth considering...

Whatever time/money/parts availability permits. Seems to be no luck getting an engine at this stage... :)

i vote racing in 2011

Would be nice :D

Tis what I was thinking I just suck at putting it into text lol.

Fair enough.

    • 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.
