first time it was coming up left bank rich, then after a dyno run weeks later to check it........ it now comes up with left bank lean.

hasnt done so for a few weeks though.

also how can it know its the left bank when it's only got the one O2 sensor observing both banks at once.......... haha

Stupid farking ECU. Must be a way to trick it.

Also noticed boost seems to be spiking which wasn't seen on the dyno sheets first time around. Scotty's wastegate mod will be here soon, hopefully that settles the boost down.

I sent it today Ryan, you should see it before the end of the week.

Your controller won't be having an easy time trying to control boost, the actuator will definitely help it.

Had the tune sorted out this morning. Idles much nicer now, and throttle is sorted.

Fault code was throttle circuit, had some weird behaviours (like fault light going on and off with throttle press/release with the stock ECU plugged in), but after clearing everything, resetting, and verifying, it now feels really good.

Now to enjoy it!

Also just paid rego! Woooo

This should be fun, tassie just updated to stickerless rego but qld hasn't

Yellow stagea

+ qld

+ tassie plates

- rego sticker

= .... we'll find out i guess

Was that because the throttle map was not set up correctly initially Ryan?

Nope. I can't find a blank table referring to throttle mapping, and according to the tuner a blank F-con table should leave the ECU to control that function.

They have no idea what caused the fault, but I'll just have to keep an eye on it and if it reoccurs its either a problem with the throttle position sensor or a problem with the wiring harness for the cruise control.

Shitloads better though. SHITLOADS!

Drove home today, fault code free until not far from home... when the left bank lean and some kind of left bank voltage error codes popped up.

Throttle is still fine though, I'll have to see if I can find some kind of solution. Fingers crossed!

Car is now sitting out the back... tomorrow night I should start on the cooling overhaul. Unless the Scotty Actuator turns up tomorrow, in which case I'll be chucking that in :D

Do you have any way of seeing the O2 correction that the stock ECU is reading? If so, is it cycling- counting up and counting down? That'll be whats causing the error codes, I'm sure its to do with the way everything interacts and not your actual AFRs changing.

i don't, no. Is this something the Cypher cable can do?

I'm sure there would be a way to loop the signal back.

AFRs look fine on the wideband so I'm sure they're not actually changing.

Yes, the cipher cable will show you the info, but without the reflash ability, you can't get rid of the code. In my car its as simple as selecting the fault code and turning it off, then reflashing.

Its about the end of my ability- I don't know how the FCon is manipulating the ECU data. Best to get them to have a play with the O2 functions within FCon, and see if its able to take the role of O2 correction on.

Oh boy, where to start.

The stock ecu is trying to adjust the fuel rich and lean many times a minute. If it doesn't see a corresponding change on the narrowband it will throw a fault. How can it do this with no control over the fuel anymore? There is no way to send a matched but delayed signal back to the ecu, you could throw it some random sine wave but our ecu is way to smart for that.

The wideband will show a set AFR at idle with the HKS, the stock ecu would normally be cycling a rich/lean pulse not holding a stable afr. Using the narrow band output from the wideband controller won't change anything.

Can the HKS take over O2 correction, using the factory fuel target table (because FCon won't let you enter a target table), with either a wideband or narrowband feedback?

Should work (theoretically) with factory injectors- any bigger injectors, the section in the target table for AFR correction would be to big and you couldn't tune correctly.

Why would you want factory style correction anyway?

Target AFR's perhaps, but you would have to rely on the wideband a little too much for my liking. Without a full standalone we are frigging around in the dark.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
