Core Computers in albany creek ^_^

yep know the place... one of the guys used to own that proton with all the neons and silly exhaust...

I live in the area so I drive past their every other day on my way to the Gold Coast...

Sup mangs. Just got home from bridge to brisbane. Finished in under an hour so pretty happy with that. Just got to finish this assignment now and a completely successful weekend we will have.

Forum finally working again? Yay!

Oh, so you have time to do bridge to brisbane, but no time to come and help :D

Pirate faceparty is awesome

Webber FTW

Morning Mangs

No one came out to lakeside yesterday? Soft :(

Session 1 was good, I got at least a couple of good laps in, but the timing system f*cked up again (really starting to dislike the timing system at Lakeside) so no time.

Session 2 I messed up my braking point into turn 1 on the first hot lap, and went into the gravel. I came in then to check everything was OK (it was) but didn't get any hot laps in. Time for the warm up lap: 93.12s

Session 3 was great, got most laps in clear space. Best time was 65.28s, which is not as good as I hoped, but on reflection I was being a lot more careful than usual, especially through the bridge area...

After that some nugget dropped oil ALL over the track, and although they gave us the option to keep running, I decided it wasn't worth the risk, and called it a day.

Looks like 65.28 will be good enough for third in my class for the day.

I only snapped a couple of pics in the pits:

The RS-Rs are incredibly good tyres for the price too. Really happy with them.

I think she looks good on the GTPs too, gratuitous bonus shot:

Engine didn't go bang either, who needs oil squirters?

Yay working again. Promised mum I would do Bridge to Brisbane ages ago so I couldn't back out lol. Some good shots there pity about the oil down on the track.

Got my official time for the run this morning aswell. 57mins 19 seconds. Very pleased with that :D

    • 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.
