Antec NSK6582B Black Super Mid Tower Case with EarthWatts 430D Watt PSU

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM

Total Price: $1511.50*

* Approximate prices and parts after preliminary research only. Will conduct more research if you decide to go ahead.

* + Cost for Martin to assemble: Bottle of home brew and/or a night with your sister

* Warranty: Individual parts warranty only plus Martin's personal guarantee that it will be assembled with the utmost care, probably while drunk and watching the cricket. Additional warranty can be discussed if assembly payment involves sister...

* You can knock $100 ish off if you are happy with a heaps legal copy of Windows XP

* If you are willing to splash another couple of hunjy I would suggest doubling the ram and upgrading to Win 7 Pro

This would not be a rocket ship but should smash autocad out of the park without trouble, especially if you lash out and double the RAM.

it's already painted?!?! god damn you work fast boy!!

No painting...... wtf are you talking about? I wanted a black bonnet... therefore I got a black bonnet..

Nice build... definately go the i7 and 8mb cache. Definately go the 8gb RAM too.

Never heard of the video card though... what's the go?

Who the hell needs a legal copy of Win 7 anyway

Mangs...

When burning a DVD from VOB, IFO and BUP files, do you need to have an IFO and a BUP for EACH VOB file?

Because:

I have a VIDEO_TS folder with

VIDEO_TS.IFO

VIDEO_TS.BUP

VIDEO_TS.VOB

VTS_01_0.BUP

VTS_01_0.IFO

VTS_01_1.VOB

VTS_01_2.VOB

And when burned - it won't read in any DVD player... I've never really dealt with burning stuff before. Can anyone shed some light on it for me please?

doing it wrong clearly. Get some black doors on there leave the rest red :P

No way mang. If you're going to make it look like it's still waiting for paint, one white door, one black door, the rest red. People aren't gonna see it from both sides at the same time anyway, so why match em up?

Glad you approve

Its the cheapest Nvidia GTX460 that just happens to almost make budget.

They are all reference designs anyway so the brand doesn't really matter. Expensive ones just tend to overclock better.

Everyone! Win 7 is awesome!

now im feeling so fly like a G6....

makes me wanta buy a ford... weird...

Makes me want to buy a Gulfstream

Gulfstream > ford. That is all.

afternoon chaps

Been ages since I've done it... from memory its a bit of an art form. Grab a legit DVD and check out the folder structure?

I think you need to burn it as a 'video disc' or something too, if you just burn the files it won't work...

:)

That's what she said

Something different

Naah, black bootlid, blue bonnet, one white door and one green door :P

Oh hellllls yeah. Fuckin' winrar! That'll totes make it look like it's waiting to go the painters! That'll be the best way to achieve the look for sure :)

Cheers for the DVD info. I did burn it as a video disc, but it told me to eat a dick. It just won't work :D

Will check out a real dvd file tree and see what it looks like :)

Wow, I swore they were singing about the Pontiac G6 in the song...

Thank you wikipedia... you have left egg all over my face again...

    • @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.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
