All logic goes out the window in the wet....fark knows how to drive a car quick in the wet :P Especially on slicks, a light car and damp...with a car pulling away in front so you just want to push on and cath him :(

Me? I would have been ff at turn 3 lap 1

The only thing constructive i can say is you either drive the thing mega straight off boost and light throttle openings so as not to slide the thing...OR you just punt the thing sideways on every corner...you are sliding it and anticipating the slide so it doesnt catch you out and also helps throw heat into the tyres ....lol listen to me, it works when i drive go karts in the wet :)

If you're referring to me then don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go at all and I'm sure he is much more experienced and better driver than I am! Apologies if it was taken the wrong way but I did try and clarify with "to each their own", just saying it was a different style to what I'm accustomed. :P

Was there much damage?

Brilliant car. Does it really need a 900hp RB26/30? lol

Unfortunate accident though. It seems he was still on it as he was turning left and the rear end of the car just came around on him under boost. Not much he could have done in that instance.

Do you have any external pics of it?

Fixed :down:

Fark me ... look at those tyres. No wonder it has good traction! :/

How does the little Caterham thingy in the background go? After driving one recently i want to buy one and throw my money away on another car project that I'll never get around to finishing.

    • 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.
    • 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.
