It sure is. I'm running the show today :whistling:

Oh btw I pressurised my intake piping last night, all my clamps etc were fine. The only thing I found was the line going to my boost gauge seems to be leaking. I unhooked it from the plenum and did it again, the only sound was now coming from that hookup at the back of the plenum. So some more vacuum hose on the way home from work this arvo and we'll see how she goes tonight.

Could that really be causing a few psi to leak though?

That's what happen to my car on the weekend, had no boost at all via the gauge, but car was fine, new hose and she's sweet. I suppose every little bit helps.

I have a leak somewhere too! Was driving along the other night and gave it its first real bootful for a few weeks and as it came on boost it sounded like a stock RB25 turbo (Ie Vaccume cleaner) and was slow as hell, Drives fine normally but so im gussing a split some where that blows open under high pressure then seals up ok at low pressure.

It could certainly make you guage read many PSI lower.

Would also potentially affect how the car runs. Anything with an AFM (ie skylines) will be particularly sensitive to boost/vac leaks.

Oh and screw black ops, get this into ya

Nice.

I removed my AFM and replaced it with a full baked bean can (clamp it in tight)

Then I pulled the cooler piping -> actuator vacuum hose and replaced it (on the piping nipple) with a bike tyre valve on a piece of hose and all clamped tight, then hooked that up the my compressor set @ 10psi.

Worked a treat, cost me $7 hahaha.

Oh, plus the baked beans. But now I'm gonna have them for lunch so it's win-win!

Tas called me last night and wanted to catch up. So i said yeah meet me near my place. So I walk down to the car park and there he is standing next to a black guy. I'm like its midnight, abandoned carpark with an asian and a black guy. Yep totally legit. Then after a bit 3 cop cars come out of nowhere arrest some drunk guy down the street. Then keep doing circles around the block obviously looking for some other guy but oddly enough driving past us (the legit guys) very slowly. Fun times.

P.s. The black guy was Shan and yes he is very black.

The end.

LOL having an accidental strayan day today. Strayan days so awesome.

Ahahaha Shan, the darkness.

Accidental Strayan Day FTW.

What did you get defected for?

AHAHAHAHA! F*ck I laughed at that. You should definitely own a 31 bro.

HAHAHA yeah I thought it was a great idea... I actually got it off this very site...

What did you get defected for?

Is this the same old one? Or a NEW defect??

    • @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.
