I'm going to have to cancel myself out of this cruise. My Power FC didn't arrive on time and I cannot get someone to tune it. I'm pissed off mega time cause I paid for overnight delivery and it's been 2 days now. :D

or something. :P

I bags parking down the road with the 180's,,,,I'll teach this young upstart that calls himself PranK.............I'll make you look like a JCKASS.

Hey guys,

I had an idea once upon a time to go for a drive along the putty rd and thought I wonder who else might be keen to do this?... look what happened!

All are welcome, but please DO bring some sort of car... it is a long way to walk!

The fuel stop on the putty is called the "Half Way House" it is about half way to singleton. The bloke that thought up that name must have had as many brain cells as fatz!

I'll have some maps on Sunday... hopefully.

Meeting time and place is Windsor Macca's at 9:30 for a 10 am SHARP departure. I have a mate that will probably come the whole way but will head back pretty much as soon as he arrives in Singleton and is planning to be at windsor by 3/4pm.

As EDS33T said, fueling up is definatly needed. Prank knows of place on the way to windsor to fill up with optimax but really doesn't want to stop there if it can be helped... so if your meeting him then fill her up to the brim BEFORE you get to homebush.

Anyone meet us at windsor PLEASE make sure that you fill up BEFORE you arrive at Macca's.

Note: If your car only gets 150km per tank then BRING A JERRY CAN OR TWO, as it is potentially 500km's before we can get to some more optimax style fuel. (not sure if Singleton has high octane)

Silver,

Bring the sunroofed vehicle!... you gotta come. Even if the Power FC isn't tuned, it will still run, and this cruise is just that... A CRUISE. Save racing for eastern creek on the 19/12/02.

URMINE,

Bring the Jeep, Bonkers is going o bring the Rav 4... you MAY be able to keep up!

If I remember correctly, singleton does have an optimax equipped shell.

reminder:

North siders:

Terry Hills Burger king @ 7am for a 7:30am departure

THEN

Homebush 6c for an 8:30am SHARP departure

if all goes to plan, Maj - we'll see you at Windsor at 9:30.

Prank Out.

Yep got that Right Prank.,,,,It's down the Main road,,,,,But not the road that leads into town,,,,we have to turn right then right again... I'm going with a 3/4 tank,,,,cause if you run out of fuel,,,It's a bloody long walk......the 1/2 way spot is not a fuel stop...Crap fuel......

Neil.

Well, OK. If Bonkers is bringing the Rav4 I'll try and get the CRV. Well keep each other company if you guys bugger off in the distance.

Don't worry, you'll have all the SR20s to keep you company back there :P

    • @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.
