Managed to talk to the couple of people i know that went last night, they all enjoyed it and said the show goes for roughly an hour and a half.

Also give yourselves a bit of time to have a look around out the front before you go in as there is plenty to look at plus some motor x guys doing jumps and the stunt riders.

They also mentioned if your driving they parked in the P1 parking complex but they said it was a bit crazy trying to get out so if you can get there earlier enough to be on the bottom level and pay the full parking fee upfront you will get out a lot quicker as the line to pay parking was huge.

Hope this helps. :sick:

I putt around in an 08 red gti peugeot normally. The 32 probably comes out once a fortnight to keep cobwebs from forming. I will give my opinion after my session tonight. Good to know that I should get in early to see some exhibits before hand.

Went last night, was brilliant. It was definetly better than last year, the hosts were better and the show was better too. They had Skaife/Richards GTR from Bathurst in 92 which I found quite amusing as it was just sitting there being ignored amongst all of the Brockie Commodores and old XC-XD Falcons. If you've never been to acer arena park near the down ramps takes you like 5 minutes to get out as opposed to the 45 minutes it took me last year. May and Clarkson are definetly the better Duo rather than Clarkson and Hammond they have much better chemistry and the jokes were gold, like when Clarkson was staring at this girl with a low cut top and was really distracted then he grabbed the camera pointed it at the girl got her up on the big screen and said "now would you be concerntrating on the show your doing?"

    • @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.
