Hey all,

My cars been out of action for a bit due to turbo replacements coming soon. Was just doing my weekly starts to idle the car making sure everything runs and what not but this time I heard some sort of clickity sound going on periodically (apologies for the dodgy explanation). I was originally planning on driving to the shop (likely to be Boostworx once I purchase my turbos) but now I'm pretty sketchy and am not planning to take the risk just in case I do more damage.

So is there anyone on here that has a tow? that can give me a hand? Time frame will be in a few weeks as everything is dependent on when I can get the turbos.

Reward/price can be negotiable

Feel free to send me a PM

Thanks guys,

Yao

83691144

1 Dumfries Ave, Seaton 5032

83562036

$55 for 24hrs

Not too sure about other prices, but cheapest price i could find in Adelaide for car trailer hire.

Yeah. get in contact with that Matty T dude. I hear he's pretty awesome at towing

oh wait, thats me hahaha

Best bet to PM me (and not the user "Matty T" as he's different to me hahaha). These guys speak the truth about my towing :(

no, that was the all type crash trailer that i used when i had a blow out.. its what i normally use but as both hayden and i were driving on thurs i needed to hire one so i went with the mad auto ones.. decent trailers.. like i said,. brand new. in fact i was the first car on the trailer i hired.

think if u hire 5 times the 6th hire is 35 bucks or something.

Also at the bottom of the page youll find a card which is on the back of our business cards, in which everytime you hire a trailer youll get it stamped and get little discounts along the way, once youve reached the 8th time youll be able to hire the trailer for only $35

good deal and he's a motorsport enthusiast

    • 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.
