Cheers Brad,

I tried to find some registered cars at MRA yesterday to see how they do it...but all i could find that was regoed was a triumph TR-7 so doesnt really apply to me lol.

At the moment the plan is to get everything else sorted out, and running smoothly on the track then ill get the cage made up, i figure that there is no point doing the cage now only to find there are engine issues etc, plus I need track tyres aswell.

Yeah you wont find many rego'd cars out there anymore. Its entry level but getting rather serious kinda fast, Almost everything out there was a purpose built car yesterday and rightly so.

Going off the times where would you have roughly placed??

Id guess around the 1 min 10 mark??

TBH I have no idea what it runs around there, only been out on street tyres, played with the suspension a bit and was not far behind a couple of evo 8s (street tyres aswell)

but then the motor decided to piss oil everywhere so went home before I timed myself.

wtf how the f**k did I miss this thread!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Good build up mate!!!

Cant wait to get chopped by this @ the track!!!

we'll need to organise one race weekend, you, me, ando, Ryan, brad and have a mad weekend at a race meet and beers after

FTW!

Cheers Chubbs :down:

Not much to update on the car atm...waiting for my EMU harness to arrive.

But lack of funds has put the brakes on this for now...might go strip the rear of the interior this week

Not much to report here atm, apart from installing my Tech Edge 2J1 wideband and having a bit of a play with the tune.

Boy doesnt the stock ecu run rich...9-10:1 afrs just crusing round town =\

if you bought the tech edge second hand throw the sensor in the bin and buy a new fresh one before using it to data log.

I have found recently with data logs that a new sensor can read signifiacantly different than an older sensor and on a race engine running two sensors in each pipe we only get 6 months from them before they're not accurate.

AFI who I buy from says its the heat that would be shortening the life span of the sensors which bosch confirms in most of their tech documents.

I bought it brand new, but that is handy to know :huh:

Its been worth every penny so far....got 160ks to a quarter of a tank today :P

Going to try and wire up the standard boost guage sensor to it and see how it goes logging boost pressure.

Also do you use to tech edge to log RPM? cant work out where to wire it too...im thinking the tach signal wire or is there a better option?

if your going to use the tech edge to log then use the number 1 coil pack output or the tacho signal wire yes.

As long as you configure the TE and you know what voltage=what boost pressure then you can log that sensor with ease.

There are far better data loggin devices on the market than the tech edge though. Its main purpose is a lambda obviously but data is okay for simple things

hahah...id forgotten about this thread....well im chucking in a whiteline 22mm rear sway bar this weekend.

now has 740cc injectors......

and well thats probably about it for now.....gotta fix a leaky sump this weekend too :blush:

  • 1 month later...

Well....So much for selling the car lol

new bits and pieces have been ordered, such as, a New turbo setup :D

Adjustable front upper camber arms, a few new gaskets etc.

will get some pics of the newly stripped interior once i get back from holiday.

A few Teaser pics of whats about to be fitted over the new few weeks

Pillow Ball adjustable upper arms

this will be used as my catch tank, just have to modify it a little to fit some filters on it

post-16947-1262514557_thumb.jpg

And this was an impulse buy. Dunno if it will do a whole lot but i love the look of "noddy's" Yellow R33 so I couldnt help myself.

Also a new turbo setup, as i wasnt convinded the cheapy stainless manifold would be up to the task of being a full time circuit car without cracking,

So its back to the standard exh manifold with a Hypergear ATR43 G3, with the big .82 rear housing.

Im hoping to have a nice linear power curve upto 7000rpm with this setup

So if any one is interested in a nice complete high mount turbo setup for cheap as the turbo needs new seals shoot me a PM for more details as i dont wanna turn this into a forsale thread :)

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
