Abe i'll take Krishy's room for saturday night. I'll sleep on a fold out friday and have the other room to myself saturday night.

cheers.

No problem...is it so you can sleep in safety from the people with the markers :D

ok I agree it would be more fun to catch up with Sled and Shane and do the Freeway thing. I think Crafers at 2pm sounds fine - we should do Crafers to Loxton in a bit over 3 hours incl. a little stop to get Krishy.

But I would have though to take the freeway all the way to Tailem Before we turn off to Karoonda, so maybe Krishy could meet us in MB.

I have a 1W walkie and can get my hands on another one for someone to borrow.

I will take the other walkie talkie off ya hands Andrew....

Ohh and guys getting to Karronda road via MB is quicker then bypassing MB and almost going to Tailem Bend......I have taken both routes and to me the MB route is quicker not by much but heck i am going to be in MB and there is a BP there so can do a quick pitstop and meet up and refuel for the long haul to Loxton as there is no other BP from MB to Loxton so prob a good idea to stop in MB for 10 mins and refuel....just a thought and that way i can join up with the convoy and will be waiting at the BP around 3pmish

Sounds like a good idea. so.... 1:30pm at Murray Bridge BP ?

-D

i have no fuel gauge at the moment.

so will require some help on how we doing on fuel ;) topped up in preparation.

If I get them in time you can :P

Cannot wait for Friday now....its going to be good.....are we all catching up and having a few drinks on friday evening/night..... :) looking at luke :(

I just can't wait for the weekend.

Geez, i am getting confused with all these meetings points, and who is going where.

At the moment, i still don't have my car back, the inter-cooler piping wasn't playing nice today, so that has delayed the tuning. I should HOPEFULLY be picking up the car on Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. But as of the drastic change of running hardware with the car, and being able to get used to it and making sure everything is alright, i want to go in a group with other people. I would also like to call into Murray Bridge and refuel before the long haul to Loxton.

Am I ready for the weekend?....No!

I'll be leaving after work on Friday and driving up then ...

... thats IF my gearbox is fixed by then. :happy: Bloody thing went into limp mode this afternoon during a test drive (after paying rego). It behaved itself on a later drive, but I'm still not happy about it. Its been to the trans specialist twice now. Its had its solenoids replaced, serviced, torque converter, shift kits, the works ... and its still not 100%. Already called them and had a rant. Going to head up there lunchtime tomorrow to see what the fault code is. I've spent $1600 on the box now!!! I could have, should have, done the GTR box swap now!!!

If I make it up there, I'll be leaving after the dinner too ... sorry guys. Been away too much on interstate/country trips and just want some time with Tracy.

All good... I've got u guys down for the brekky on sat still, no problemo

Hope yr gearbox gets fixed. Autos are lame ;(

-D

Oh yeah count me in on the breaky as well Ben but you know my special needs :)

Abe i am still going to be here in the Bridge on Friday and i also think that a whole bunch of people are going to be making a little pitstop at the bridge BP.....and the road is pretty straight forward from here to loxton via karoonda i think.......Ben said something on the lines of meeting up here at around 1.30-2pm? isnt that right Ben?

Pete just give me a quick call as soon as you guys exit the freeway into MB and i will make my way to the BP

Cheers

    • @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.
