John Q4 Brera aren't too bad, heavy and slow i think though other people have different thoughts, pretty much the engine in it is what you guys call the SIDI i think. It uses the GM global V6 bottom end with alfa's own design direct injection twin cam variator head, which holden then used.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Was thinking of maybe looking at one, but maybe not now. SIDI engines are a terrible design from a working on it/modifying it perspective. Not much of an improvement on the Alloytech really.

Where at!...Your place ?

The late late show with Craig Ferguson, he has a robot skeleton as a side kick...

Its on the new "hello" channel at 10:30pm week night, very funny...

He says random stuff like "sex party" and "in your pants"...

There's a gremlin living in the front drivers side of my car I think. Wheel bearing needed to be replaced there, the window actuator doesnt work there and doing a simple job like replacing my brake pads turned into an overnight stay due to losing a copper washer off the brake line causing fluid to go everywhere.

nice work. I say fix it enough to sell and buy a 31! haha.

Today while at indro, andy spotted me, and then i spotted twocents, he didn't see me, but i saw him coming out of the cinemas

Had a chick in tonight who was wearing a little black vest as a top. Only thing was that she didn't have it done up and had these little butterfly stickers over her nipples. So much win, especially when she was dancing at the bar ;)

Morning Mangs,

I like boobs.

Drove the 31 to work today. Much win and awesome. Must try to find time to call EFI today...

Joined SAU QLD forum and club !

Successful day !

I paid my monies but haven't heard back yet :(. Andy must be slacking...

Lowball club cruise = great success :thumbsup:

@Colin: Won't actually see you Thursday, will be in Melbourne town :D

Lowball cruise was great. Ah true mang. Definitely need to hit up the F1 next year.

Wash your colon, GTR

Yeah it's pretty filthy. Got this weekend off though so I'll wash it then.

Oh and Morning Mangs

Yeah it's pretty filthy. Got this weekend off though so I'll wash it then.

I can ask John to put his pink bikini on and wash your car for you?

Where is young John these days? Doesn't post much anymore.

Missing, presumed employed.

We lost power this morning, good stuff for a power distribution company...

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
