F*** the rain boys, that's what wax is for. I gave my car a sprinkle off lastnight and the water just bounced right off the inpenetrable fortress of wax. Muhahahahaha.

Seriously though, if this shit starts properly/torrentially bucketing down and therefore no foot traffic / no fun, do we still have to stay to the end or can we close the show early?

good point bird's .. . . But i think council has made it clear to Ash that only within those times car's are moving.

I just got told no work tomorrow. So might be down. Enter will see on weather due to bird's comment about cars there for no reason :D

That's true and fair enough. Unless it's pissing down in the morning I'll be coming...I don't mind isolated showers here and there, it's to be expected throughout the day...but if it's gonna be consistent rain we'll be the only ones looking at our cars...either from their interiors or from the inside of a restaurant/cafe :D

Forecast not looking too bad...atleast for the morning...

From BOM:

Forecast for Saturday

Cloud increasing with areas of rain developing later in the afternoon. The chance of a thunderstorm. Winds northwest to southwesterly and averaging 15 to 20 km/h, becoming light during the afternoon. City: Rain periods developing. Min 18 Max 23.

So as i've said all along, no really bad weather issues for us.

So if we can move on from the weather and focus on a good event, that would be great!

If something drastic happens weather wise tomorrow, i will deal with it tomorrow.

Very glad youre staying strong with this Ash, a little bit of rain never hurt no one, but id thought id check here before I go and spend then next few hours getting my entrant ready :)

See you all there!

is it just me who left car detailing till the last min lol

LOL man is there anything better to do on a Friday night other than polish your ride while sippin ice cold beers with good company?

I think not. You there with new wheels on? Me too. I got a secret weapon to unleash :)

P.S you cant go past Meguiars Gold Class Dan.

    • @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.
