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.

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
