I hate you guys.    :spank:

Here is a pic of a car I did a while ago.

Happy now?

The plot thickens :P

That's the engine bay of my old car you just posted mate... What do you mean "here's a pic of a car I did a while ago?"

G'day, you're on the speaker with Andrew... Adrian I presume? :)

Great stuff!!! What tyres were you using? Very impressive for a FWD...

Any pics of the whole car?

I was using 22 x 8 x 15 MT's. I don't have any pics of the whole car handy, but it's just a stock looking black EK Civic.

BTW, I edited the post above for your benefit. Hope you like it!

I thought that was Mark's Civic? I saw it run a few times at EC... The entire crowd loved it... Sleepers like that are the best :)

No, I'ts Mark. I'm the one who did all the work while Adrian drank all of BD4's beer!!! (only joking).

What happened with the car?

ROFL... Adrian claimed he had done most of the work :)

Well I bought it off Lee about 1.5 years ago, and I sold it about 2 months ago to a bloke down in Wollongong and moved onto a GTR (see avatar)

I did a few more tweaks to the car before selling it, but I never got around to building the engine, so I'm afraid it left my hands running a max of 1.2 bar and making 280rwkw...

Here's the spec sheet whilst I owned it: See if you can pick my additions :spank:

Trust 10 Row Oil Cooler w/ Oil Filter Relocation Kit

HKS Vernier Cam Gears

NISMO Triple Plate G-Max Clutch

Thats about it engine wise. Did you change the pressure reg? We put an APEX one on it.

Kept the APEXi fuel regulator on there... It was doing fine... I wasn't even stressing out the injectors...

I also added the Trust Type-R BOV on there... You guys didn't deem a BOV necessary for a turbo capable of 1.8 bar boost?!??!? What was up with that?

A couple of other additions :)

Blitz SBC-ID Boost Controller

Blitz PowerMeter-ID

APEXi Turbo Timer

Pivot Shift Light

Cusco Carbon Fibre Front Strut Brace

Recaro SR Front Seats

AP Racing 6 Piston Calipers

DBA 332mm 'Kangaroo Paw' Slotted Rotors

BF Goodridge Braided Brake Lines

Ferrodo DS3000 (Track) / DS2500 (Road) Brake Pads

WORK VS-SS 18x8 / 18x9 Wheels

Front Tyre - Falken AZENIS ST-115 (235/45ZR18)

Rear Tyre - Dunlop D01J R-Compound Tyres (265/35ZR18)

R33 GTR 17x9 Wheels

Dunlop D01J R-Compound Tyres (235/45ZR17)

Sony Dumbass Head Unit

Focal Polykevlar 6.5" Components

Focal Polyglass 6.5" Co-Axial Rear Fill

Focal Polykevlar 13" Subwoofer

MTX 4244 - 4 Channel Amplifier

MTX 6500D - MonoBlock Amplifier

Hey Andrew, I don't suppose you know anyone with a near stock R33 GTS-T?

I'm in the process of making up some cooler/plenum kits for them but the car I've got here has been in an accident and doesn't have a stock A/C fan, making intercooler positioning difficult. If someone is willing to donate their car for a few days they will end up with an extremely nice setup for a very good price :)

Mark, I'm sure if you started a thread asking for volunteers, you'd have an line 50 people long outside your workshop :spank:

Everyone wants to get rid of the standard plenum... B-Man on these forums took a standard plenum and flow tested it and the results were abysmal!!

I thought there would at least be air guides/fins inside the plenum directing airflow for even distribution, but it's just hollow in there...

    • @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.
