I declare F-Duct drinking game a success! I am nicely munted, and that was only qualy :)

I am thinking of introducitng a bonus round of some sort for vettel being a tool... details still to be worked out :D

my everything hurts.

Was having a jam session at a friends girlfriends house, in the room we were in theres a pillar that runs across the ceiling and being a tall bastard and all, I have multiplied my hangover by walking into it.

Drinking game.

Sign me up :(

What job do you have which requires work on a sunday?

I make sure you have water coming out of your tap in a nice controlled way.

I made some light progress on my project car, i cleaned the garage, then realised i can't actually do anything i wanted to do this weekend cause i need to get the guards lipped before i can put the coilovers back in. And that the coilovers need new pillowballs and heavier springs. Hopefully will sort that for next weekend thought.

This arvo i started sanding back panels and getting them ready for the primer coat.

Sounds productive. :blush:

Whats a pillowball :happy: ?

sure are, they are my upper shock mounts, also known as Spherical Bearings. I'd really like to get brand new ones but i don't know where to get them from.

In other news, only a couple days until i get awesome pints'o beer and lamb shanks!

I've got two in my pants, if you'd like a demonstration?

So much win! Gonna go for the pork knuckle!

Anyone know/recommend a good detailer on the northside? Mate wants his car done inside and outside before he sells it

Always you know that :blush:

    • 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.
    • 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.
