from the little info we have I would say it's a poor tune. simple as that. the car should not run poorly over a change in altitude of 400m.

hmmm, as stated my STI did the exact same thing, different car different tuner?

If it is a temp and barometric pressure issue, it could be far more than 5% if none of it is corrected, however 10% still shouldnt be enough, however i have seen it happen without the use of an air temp sensor, basically in summer blowing black smaoke, and lean in winter.

crap, so how is that fixed?

cheers

how? with a real tune & a real ecu - ie go back to the PFC or get the link installation sorted and tuned properly

if its got a map sensor it should be setup accordingly, along with air temp sensor to correct itself

* WINNER *

yeah but it had a power fc in it before (tuned by another tuner) and it ran sweet till it came to queenstown, then again ran like crap

Im not sure if you can do anything about the barometric pressure compensation, as that should be built into the firmware of the ecu, however the IAT table makes a massive difference. From what i see a lot of tuners dont think outside the box and realise just how important having an Air temp sensor, and the correct corresponding numbers in the table.

Any competant tuner would usually turn away any map based ecu if it lacked an IAT sensor... well around here anyway.

Couldnt agree more, but ive seen tuner do installs without them enough to know it happens around here, usually the excuse is the owner didnt want to spend the extra for the sensor and install! Crazy.

hey there,

just figured out the backfire/hesitation is when boost starts building when its cold, when the engine isnt warmed up

also there is no cold start up set on the LINK either yet?

ideas??????????????????????

Are you anywhere near rips, i would take it to them. If you can put up screen shots of the settings in the software then it will make it easier.

hey, no which sucks, about 15 hrs away, bummer though i sponsor Robbie Ward at RIPS, ha.......

will try getting that info

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
