Well DECA is upon us again.

As always, the event wont go ahead unless we get people to help out on the day.

So we are calling for your assistance - if your willing to help, or if your bringing a friend/partner who's willing to help - please speak up.

We can explain what you need to do if you haven't done it before, so don't stress about that.

It is VERY easy stuff! and you will get a great view of the action!!

(very good for you budding photographers)

All officials will be given a free lunch and water during the day.

We also need all officials to be at DECA by 8.00am on Saturday morning - same time as competitors.

Chair, sunscreen, hat etc all make this into a relaxing day

A Slight change to previous events. we will be organizing Volunteers prior to the Drivers Briefing.

And until all slots are filled Drivers briefing will NOT go ahead and the event will not start.

I know it sounds harsh but without these people we cannot run the event.

Please PM me if you are able to help out. even if just for 1/2 a day.

cheers

Martin

Hi Martin,

Count me in again. Only catch is I am only available half a day this time, have to scoot around 12-12:30 at latest for my nephews birthday. Happy to do long wang in morning if you guys want, but if theres no one who can cover me for the last 1/2 hour to an hour that it's running I might be better off on the skidpan in the morning - at least then I can get one of the people who arent driving at the time to fill in for me. (From past events long wang normally finishes about 1 I think??) Happy either way - I will leave it up to you guys. :ninja:

Cheers,

Anna

Willing to help. can be there all day. Don't have a preferred event to do, so take your pick :blink:

What time do i have to be there by? was actually thinking of driving there in the morning & driving back at night. Sorry, this is my first time, so I don't know if it's best to stay overnight or can drive for the day? :P

Wynn - as stated in Martins first post, we need all officials at DECA by 8am on the Saturday morning.

A day trip is defiantely doable, its completely your call. There is a lot of us staying up there for the entire weekend. Check out the accommodation thread if you are keen to stay.

Cheers,

Bec

PS. Will run long wang :P

Can't make it this time but it's awesome for whoever hasn't done it before. Easy stuff and get to see people run into cones n stuff. Oh and then trying to find them when they are dragged halfway across the track lol

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
