Hey guys

More details to follow but i'm trying to organise a cruise for the 26th June

Meeting place is going to be Kmart car park (nearer to autobarn tho)

Destination: Sideling (why not, they have also redone some corners for targa too)

Anything is welcome - boostcruising members will also be coming so hopefully we get a decent amount of ppl showing up (do not attend if this bothers you)

so who wants to come?

someone on boost brought up that the sideling gets no sun in winter and they had a cruise through there in winter before and some ppl struggled staying on the road

so we might try and avoid that

looking like just cruising up the west tamar, over the batman bridge, chill there for a bit and come down the east tamar

also going to have a mini-meet soon to discuss the route further, probably this weekend in town somewhere

if everyone drives sensibly and obeys the road rules, there wont be any drama on the sideling, if people insist on driving like hero's then there will be issues wherever the cruise is held.

and considering what happened recently in nsw after an sau cruise, i think it would be appropriate to keep it tame.

sav man i agree about the cradle route, lots of good driving up there aswell, might be too far for some though..

thanks for the input guys

if we try and have a small meet soon i'll bring a map and we can discuss where to go, where has nice roads, where isn't too far and all those things

if we go up and around the tamar (to the batman) its got a couple of corners but its just nice cruising around there

I agree with savman and bxaftw,don;t let a bit of rain or wet roads wreck a cruise.[every one should drive to conditions]

I drive up and down the east and west tamar every week [what a boring drive] :D

He what about frankford road to westbury turn off then to osmaston,golden vally,mole creek,king solomons mines,paradise back to sheffield and the back road to e/town and back to launny any way u like. :)

Or somthing simmilar.

say what now? can you put that into a google maps thingo and post it up?

i see mole creek in there, and i know targa goes through there, so i trust your planning

post up what the route looks like and the distance and we'll take it from there

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
