Godzilla Motorsport wishes you all the best on your endevour to beat theos 8.95 time...

regards, mark

Thanks Mark, we have always had the H pattern record in our sights...even if we don't go that quick to have a good meet and manage a PB with consistent runs backing it up would be a success.

I still haven't recieved the Quantum and Speedflow invoices as earlier requested, please forward them to my email account so i can transfer you the cash.

good luck in your future racing and the crack at the 7.56.

Yummo!

Car smells like thinners now though.

Given the high standard of Taryn's cullinary talents she could make the guniea p1g the neighbours dog was proudly marching around with in its mouth this afternoon taste a treat!

Id say someone in the street would have had some quite upset children returning home from school this afternoon.

  • 3 weeks later...

sorry guys only just got internet access...

the small crack in the block that was repaired last time engine was freshened has opened up weeping coolant out. In the interests of my own and others safety i decided not to run the car. Looking back i probably should have grouted the block as the crack is below the bottom of the welsh plugs and grouting would have stopped it.

Its very strange as when the car was rolled back on Friday no coolant was leaking out of it. A little later i jacked the front of the car up in preparation for welding a lambda sensor bung at the base of the dump pipe and coolant started to drip from the rear of the engine. We stripped the engine on Friday night and tried to repair it but on Saturday morning started leaking again. Engine is now out and ill decide tomorrow if ill just grout it or replace the block with a fresh one.

Very disapointing for all involved with the car.

Unfortunate you couldn't make it today.

Is the car going to be heading back to the track at some point after repair ?...or will it now be taken out of action for good .

oh no we dont give in that easily...unfinished business needs to be attended to.

the car has never been set-up properly for drag racing until now...i couldn't live with the massive 'what if' by not running it again.

good to hear you're gonna give a hard nudge & get that 8sec 1/4 :unsure:

do u know what date you're heading out as yet?

Hey Paul i tried to call you today but your phone was off.

Were gonna organise a private test day for about 3 weeks so i will let you know

Cheers

Paul

hopefully they will give us a better track than last time

    • @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.
