Morning Mangs,

TFIF. Wonder if I can get away with an 8 hour day today?

For Scott: Z32_ECU_Modifications_Direct_R33_Plugin V6.pdf. Booyah, V6. Please don't use the V3 one to do mine :P.

just keep a pair of baby socks in the car, fits perfectly over the gear knob and either stops it from getting hot in first place if you remember to put it on when parking, or protects your hand after the fact if you forget.

Hmmm i wonder what people would think if they walked past my car and saw my knob covered by a baby sock lol.

Very good idea but i think changing knob would be better as i never did like the one i got.

So I unhooked my wastegate actuator hose before work, went for a drive around to warm up (then a bit longer lol)

Anyway, hit around 10-12psi a few times (before backing off), but laggy, and can still hear a balloon squeak type noise.

Dump pipe on incorrectly?

Stock manifold (untouched when I replaced the turbo)

It's a split dump/front pipe, but not one of the shitty JJR ones, it's got a huge long split for the wastegate gasses. I also checked when I had it disconnected that the wastegate flapper doesn't catch on the interior of the dump (like on the JJR ones)... but that may have changed when I put it all back together..... I'm thinking maybe the gasket could be sitting shitty or something?

The wastegate is completely shut at idle.

so refresh my memory

you are getting no boost when everything is hooked up, but when you unhook the feed to the actuator you can get boost?

Probably a dumb dumb question but one I've never known the answer to

Does the diameter or length of vacuum hose make a difference? Specifically in this case intercooler piping nipple -> actuator?

Edited by mosquitocoils

Yeah I try and keep them as short as needed so that's good.... how about thicker/thinner? Any advantage?

Success

Morn.

Stuck on a train. Plus side it's fark yeah Friday.

I'm on a trian, I'm on a muthaflipping train....

Too many knobs in that. Not my idea of a fun night out.

What turob is it? didn't you buy a highflow? It may have a balance issue....

Damnit, Nistune only posted this morning, won't get it till Monday now :(.

Still get to play with the software

Correct... Although I can still hear a squealing leak under boost

gasket or turbo is my guess.

sadface :(

This is for you.

oh and scarface.

    • @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.
