@John, Joe,

Sorry but I feel the need to back the rear admiral up and I refuse to violate my policy of not posting on faceparty. Hell pizza is awesome, and I wish there was one near me too

Yeah, but I already knew you were gay.

What dude we met what day?

But yes, Option 1 FTW, as long as you don't mind sitting around for hours while they work on other peoples cars (despite being booked in), and don't mind having to go back and do it AGAIN after they put both tyres on for the left hand side. Price you pay for cheap tyres I guess...

I expect to be buying:

2 x 215/45/17 595 RS-R

2 x 235/45/17 595 RS-R

2 x 235/45/17 595 SS

Also will be getting another pair of SS's stripped off some skid rims and fitted to my advans.

They also do khumos really cheap (KU31s FTW) but since I already have a near new pair of 595s for the front, i'm going to get some for the rear and see how they compare. The grip is not quite as good, but maybe they will last longer...

Yeah seen that, heaps epic

but Alfa 3.2 V6 > RB26

:D

your mum > alfa 3.2 v6 < RB26

thats better

all this alfa talk makes me wanta slap you... break out of it...

Morning guys

I Fucking hate people, I wish they would all fuck off and die

John I was thinking about what were saying about jobs, and I think I have got one that will make you happy.

Dan at ERD does good prices on Federals too, then you can just take them and get them fitted anywhere you like.

Too far away :D

I could take the tyres from option 1 and get them fitted elsewhere, but they fit and balance them for 10 bux and are only 5 minutes from work, so I really CBF

I can grab them for you. Picking my car up from ERD hopefully today.

edit. I just read the whole post. nm :D

Can't find anywhere that will do a decent price exhaust for the golf.

Prices are astronomical. Might try to source one from Europe.

Try Scotty at Scots rods, good pipes, great prices.

ahh the old distance issue, could try Neta tyre services, they are the distributer and are at northgate

They are literally right across the road. I can see them out the window. Will give them a yell.

Yeah thanks for the offer bro, but probably too much hassle to work it all out

Can try Fat Pipes at Kallangur. I hear very good things from many different people, have not used them myself yet though.

    • @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.
