Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)

Yep I have the manwell for it. I downloaded it from the website. I went to the off setting and it didn't seem to do anything. It was still giving me infinity boost.

F*ck, that's not good :ermm:.

Bring the manwell tonight, saves me having to print it.

Lol @ NASA

Voyager 2: *Gibberish*

NASA dude 1: Hmmm, voyager 2 seems to be broken

NASA dude 2: Have you tried turning it off and on again?

NASA dude 1: Naah, we'd better figure out whats going on first

several days later...

NASA dude 1: Yeah I figured it out, theres a bit-flipped in memory

NASA dude 2: OK, how do we fix that then?

NASA dude 1: Lets try turning it off and on again...

ATTN: Phil, Misohorny, John, Dan

Work out a day that works for everyone to fix Jasons AVCR and do Miso's brakes. Dan will need his brake bleeder. I can't do it this weekend though.

I am easy. Just let me know and i shall be there. Can work it out tonight at baskins. No longer jet lagged, so won't sleep through it. :ermm:

Sounds expensive. So whats doing mangs? I'm typing meeting minutes :D

Trying to clean up scanned alfa wiring diagrams to print. HOPEFULLY they are the right ones :S

Cool, sounds like it will be a good turn out tonight. Thristian, you coming?

Very expensive. You can only import them.

Anytime is good for me ( if i can afford to drive there :D ) I'm on day shift this week and next and have this weekend and next one off. :ermm:

I think tonight we will just bypass the AVCR and pipe the wastegate actuator directly to a boost source. This should put you back to stock boost (stock LOW boost probably) which will get you by (and hopefully fix your fuel economy) untill we can sort it out. Hopefully next weekend will work for everyone.

If it still boosts it's t*ts off, or you still get bad fuel economy, then you have other problems.

I'm not 100% sure how the AVCR can be ruining your fuel economy so much, if anything I would have thought it would make it better as you'd be trying to drive off boost all the time...

o2 sensor? when was that last replaced?

I've only had shitty fuel economy since the avcr. But it is getting worse and worse. How much is a o2 sensor ?

Jason... did you let you car hang out with mine again? I started her up this morning and she was all lumpy and shaking and carrying on, and drives like a bucket of shit :down:

Just letting it cool down now so I can see if I can work out wtf is going on with it ;)

like $100ish i think man

i have a spare good one you could try - if they fit (its an sr one)? idk if they do

was the avcr new? who installed the avcr? i'd give them a bell maybe they f**ked up? (or was it you that fitted it :down:) jks jks

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
