oh hardy har har!!!

well any way... one of the spark plugs was coroded and broken away so the ring was stuck in the block.... so 30mins turned into a half an hour and the 33 is a little harder than the 32 cause things are in a more pain in the arse spot but still isnt that hard.

thanks to kiwi ingenuity and a fat screw driver, a hammer and a fat c clamp we got the thread out without pulling it apart :D plus the engine was ****ing hot so i had to pull shit off that was hot as hell.

still took less than an hour and a half inc a phone call and a beer :)

I dunno about 30 mins.

Maybe if your a frigging machine and have ALL the tools pre-setup

I'd prefer to take my time and do it properly.

I reckon an hour is fair. With a beer in the middle lol!

I can show someone if they BYO tools, i aint got many ATM.

Oh, and you supply plugs too

ROFL ash i know you had to get someone to change your plugs :rolleyes:

yes it can be a bit of a bitch i would say 1 hour tops

30mins max... maybe 45

i can do my 32 in half an hour... there aint much difference bw that and a 33...

:rolleyes:

oh 30 minutes turned into half an hour? :confused:

Bah.

It's not that hard.

You just need tools... and patience. (guess which of those two i dont have)

But if people want i can show.

I aint done it before myself, but i've been shown a few times now.

So it cant be too hard ;)

Yeah, but Gerald showed me what to do etc.

He went through it all nice and slowly so i didnt forget LOL!

So im gonna try myself now ;)

Cant be that hard. Yeah a bit of a challenge, but nothing impossible.

its piss easy... except when things like this happen.... ;)

i should have taken pics of the step by step process to make it easier for people rather than reading a step by step guide of nothing but text.

next time i spose.

Nige pulled my plugs out, regapped em and put them back in, in about 10 mins in between tuning coz of a miss up high.

But i dont have the cover or the stock return pipe in the way.

Yeah, the two things that are a pain for the normal person.

Plus he would have had tools out.

We are talking from go-to-whoa in the plugs.

dont come here with how quick they do it.

This is 'Average Joe' mechanics :Bang:

just like what 31Nismoid said, from watching how inark did it, doesnt seem hard, just need the correct tools and remembering where each  hose you unpluged came from.  Damn there were a few hoses :D dont think i'll be able to remeber them all. heh

actually its impossible to get the hoses mixed up due to the fact they all are different sizes.

i tried the platinums and never again will i use them.

i stick with the cheapies which seem to do a job just as good as the others.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
