put the thermostat in my car......NOW my gearbox fluid gets up to temp in D!....f#$king awesome.

Thanks Alex for you help btw!

Oh and started planning the new project with Alex! :Pph34r.gif

Put my thermostat in also.... Thanks for the help with getting those hoses on..

For reference we noticed that the I had in fact plumbed my trans cooler after the fluid went through the radiator trans cooler.

so mine is correct then also ?

Also curious why you did it this way?

There was a discussion on this a while back and there were pros and cons either way, the main pro to placing it beforehand was the thermostat in the radiator getting the fluid up to temp if it was too cold... I guess if your trans cooler has a thermostat this isnt a consideration?

For my Stagea, I did my tax return today. Looks like Im going shopping! First up is intercooler methinks.

Did it in the most convenient location where the 2 lines run side by side to and from the trans cooler.

As we learn more about this car we realised that the standard set up has the output from the gear box going to the drivers side on the standard radiator. The Passenger side is the return lie to the transmission.

Found my P0320 error today and fixed it...miss fire is gone on idle and the power is back up again!....19psi feels like 19psi not 10psi.....and I though I had just gotten used to the power! :)

Signed up to the SAUSA track day in November, and booked the day off work.

Now to fit the shift kit, brakes, shocks, trans cooler, emanage, etc before then...

Yep, stock turbo and turbo back exhaust from AM performance.

I've been concentrating on handling and repairs first, before serious power upgrades.

Who's shift kit Ryan, who you getting to fit?

well, while performing a dirt launch the AFM blew

drove to sydney from coffs harbour with no AFM. beat that!

economy was fantastic, considering you cant rev is over 2250rpm lol

Yeah likewise.

I'd really like to get away with retaining the stock turbo - I'd like it a bit quicker - nothing that I need to upgrade the turbo for. If my turbo does shit itself though, I'll feel like I'm getting jipped if I don't get it done properly. :rofl2: Here's hoping it lasts!

I got the trans go kit. Unless dad seriously cracks the shits, he will be fitting it with me doing the bitch jobs.

And Jase, I do plan to change the turbo eventually, but want to do all the supporting mods first. When it blows I don't see the point in replacing it with a stocker.

So what was the cause?

Got a bit carried away up there did you, Sebastian?cool.gif

Gave the Stagea a bath & sealed my rims; makes brake dust so much easier to get off.

Do Tell, what product, how does it work etc etc. Will work for Matte black paint?

Lol, monkey see; monkey do...

Auto Glym Alloy Wheel Seal; Aerosol spray. Spray on, Wipe off. I thought it was just a "Mr Sheen" type deal; but it stays on for bloody ages.

Don't know how it would go on a Satin finish, I don't believe it would do any lasting damage. You're welcome to have a lash with mine if you like.:thumbsup:

    • 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.
