What a great day, Id like to send out a thank you to Dani aka angr33 and Brett aka V8EATER for their assistance in the running of checkpoints. The weather turned out quite nice, warm but a nice cool breeze all morning.

Im glad you all enjoyed the day, The placings were determined by the teams closest to a mystery time of 4hours 11mins.

1st = Team Ninja - Time 4.00

2nd = The Producers - Time 4.33

3rd = The Greens - Time 3.48

4th = The Pilky Gurgens - Time 3.44

5th = The Stigs - Time 3.20

Best Dressed - The Pilky Gurgens

Non Completions - The Pestulant Fruit Burglers & The Manly Construction Workers

The next event will be held approximately May so keep your eyes peeled.

Hi Guys, What a awesome day. The first Amazing race themed cruise was a full success! :P

I would like to thank everyone that turned up to the cruise event and also to my wife Marianne for mostly organizing this event. It was a blast. Full of funny moments and challenges that made things really interesting.

It is guaranteed that WCC will be having another event like this so keep your beady eyes open in the event section coz there will be another one in a couple of months time or so.

Heres a link to the pictures of the event. Enjoy! Pics of the Amazing Race Themed Cruise

Awesome day, best fun i've had on a cruise ever! Great idea, everyone really enjoyed it, it was safe and very very well organized, thanks again and again to Tritty for organizing!! and Bretto and Dani for helping run it :)

    • 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.
