28th sounds good for german food

Friday is turning out slightly better than expected. Wife is going up to Bundy with the kids and her parents this evening, whereas I will be driving out there tomorrow morning. Leaves me home to have a few drinks, watch football and get a solid night of sleep in. Win win win

Not hopefully broncos win .

hey guys sorry for the late reply been kinda busy with work and all haha.

That's almost as awesome a use of your time as punching yourself in the balls. Less enjoyable though.

Because Harry's Dinner is for Dyno Queen Dickheads and Auto Salon f**kbags.

So a guy who likes to make a powerful engine and put it on a dyno is a dickhead?

And someone who likes to maintain and make their car look the best possible way in their mind is a f**kbag?

Harrys is just a place for people with a car passion to hang out, I dont mind it, head there every few weeks to meet up with mates and talk shit, good fun kiss.gif

im with twocents, wats wrong building a car for the dyno or building a show car??

these ppl put a lot of time effort and money into building these cars. now im like any one with my own personal taste towards wat i like and dont like but even if i dont like it ((kingswoods for exampe and there was a neat one there the other week) i can still appreciate the work that goes into it.

If you're only going to put it on a dyno, then just build an engine. Not a car.

And if you're going to take a perfectly functionak car to make something completely impractical for the streets, changing/ruining the original design to the point of stupidity. Adding colors and chrome, TVs and full sick subs. Then be an interior decorator.

Lol. i kinda agree with you. The people who build cars that they dont drive but trailer to shows i dont understand. i would want to drive it all the time. But people love to stand out and if they want to then you take the good with the bad. Some love what you have done to your car, some hate it. But its your money.

I dont see the point if modifying a car past what they class as legal

Lol. i kinda agree with you. The people who build cars that they dont drive but trailer to shows i dont understand.

Yep, the only cars that should be taken on trailers are track cars, pre delivery cars and broken down cars.

Sarp mangs. Pretty successful weekend so far I started to do an epic detail on my car. Only finished claying the car so far but it's looking a lot better now. Has taken about 9 hours so far to get it ready for polishing. Shouldn't leave it so long in between details lol. And I definitely need to wax it more often to stop all the paint getting shit embedded in it.

Now I'm cooking a lamb roast like a baws.

my dads not a phone??

yeah man, its alot of fun, havent done mine for about a year now, and polish has been more than 6 months...not looking forward to the elbows full of grease that will be involved.

    • @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.
