I am looking for any helpers for the Show and Shine day comming up. I have a few helpers already but as the saying goes "many hands makes light work". There will be nothing hard to do but us execs can only do so many things at once. Any help will be appreciated, even if its for a couple of hours.

Sau and non Sau members accepted

Cheers

C'mon people, we're putting on this Show n Shine for YOUR benefit as much as ours, so why not help us out here?

We Execs don't get paid a cent to put these events on for you, we do it for the love of it, regardless of the fact that most of us have jobs, study, families and other responsibilities to attend to as well!

So, if we don't get help from YOU people within the SAU community, then the events wouldn't run at all. I know I don't want that, do you??? :(

Of course, the more volunteers we have, then the less likely people will be stuck doing things all day. The less time people are stuck with tasks all day, the more time they can spend socialising and admiring the other cars out there on the day!

Put me down for volunteer duties - i'm in for car wrangling and other directive duties - just hand me a show layout plan and i'll help organise cars/stands. :D

Suggestion - Should the volunteers wear hi-vis?

All will be answered by Thursday night, just finalising a few things on Wednesday, then we should be all organised.

Good sugestion Xmetal, i'll chase that up

it shouldnt matter what the duties are, people should just be willing to help no matter what it is.

tom im assuming you got my email from duncan?

my girlfriend will be coming along too on that day so we can get her to help out too.

yup all good mate

Anyone providing tunes?
you still got all your gear and speakers?

If so i'll get back to you on that on thursday

ShengBert, we are pretty much sorted on the PA side of things, so it should be just a matter of securing the tunes and something to play them on, whether it's a set of turntables or even just a playlist set up off a computer or MP3 player of some sort. We're still working on this, but if you're willing to help out in this regard, that would be greatly appreciated!

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • 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.
