I'm having a pretty decent Friday apart from being über tired.

my day was facken busy as per usual lately. i wish to thank the lovely person who did our bbq today. great food.

now john is making me think i need to spend more $$ on my car.... and he is right of course.

benno if i knew you were drinking over the road i would have come over.

Anyone drive through the valley this morning around 10? and heard a bang?

that might have happend, Z28 Camaro ripping skids hit into the parked mazda 3 which pushed into the parked corolla, moving them forwards a long way. Driver of the camaro is only a tow truck driver who was ment to be delivering the car to its new owner...... :domokun:

Hey Dan, I will SMS you next time I am over there drinking. Had a great night. Sat around drinking Aperol, tonic and lime for a few hours then sat down to dinner with the owners or Tartufo and the owners of Montrachet for dinner which involved many bottles of wine and loads of scotch and cognac. Didn't stop drinking until 2am. Feeling a little seedy right now.

Regarding that Camaro, I hope the towie is drawn and quartered! I feel for the owner.

Morning Mangs

I am short a helmet and pads now, the rest i have slowly replaced! and since i get hit in the legs ALL the time I bought the epicest thigh pad set up ever lol

My helmet was about the only thing left of my old outdoor gear that was still usable!

And from my indoor gear, only the bat and box are any good for outdoor...

My tendency is more to get hit in the face, so I don't rock thigh pads :P

Just spend it you skirt.

That's what she said.

Aperol? Really? Freaking aperitifs, hate them all. For a lighter drink I'll take Hendricks Gin with Cucumber and soda in a long glass.

Hendricks is nice with cucumber but adding soda ruins it.

Seriously try an Aperol with tonic and fresh lime. I don't usually like most aperitifs but this concoction is very refreshing and because of all the tonic water it is a good way to start a long night of drinking due to the hydration properties :) I should be feeling like hell right now but instead I just feel tired.

that is ridiculous.

I am always paranoid of leaving my car at unknown workshops that some prick might be taking it out for a spin.

yep yours does great skids :P

Morning Mangs,

Needs moar cowbell.

So who dressed up like Steve Irwin last night for a mates 'Aussie Icon' party?

Ermm... you, I guess?

Excellent demonstration smitz. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

That's what she said.

Can't make it on the 11th sorry dude.

Dissapoint :(

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • 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.
