tomorrow is going to be awesome :D

This Post will change as I edit a few photos, but anyway. Here are the edits I've done so far.

Phil: Your car Is quite photogenic if I'm honest lol. Few photos of it turned out quite well without even touching them

Ok something I Should have done is photos like these, Thought about it when I got home and did these to give people an idea of what I mean. There quick photos but not to bad

I'm playing with some more photos now while uploading some to Flickr. I'd like to put the whole lot of them up (in JPEG form) and have everyone tell me what they want me to (TRY) and do with the photos lol. I'm not great with photoshop but I can try stuff. But I think theres to many. I Think I'll just slowly work through the better ones and edit them for now

Will get CD's/DVD's to whoever wants some. Just let me know what you want (As I have 2 copys of all photos, In JPEG which is your general photo your point and shoot camera will take, and RAW which is unprocessed and good for editing in photoshop as you get a few more options to play with them)

Anyway... Enough from me. Was a good weekend, think everyone will be happy to be home but haha. Have a good easter (whats left of it) everyone

Few Un-edited photos

I'm annoyed, I spent so long on that one of the back of your car trying to get it straight, then I thought it was right, and now it looks crooked by like half a degree haha

I'm done for the day but, Might edit some more tomorrow.

Anyone know a site that automatically resizes the photos as you upload them? If someone does then I can put all the photos up for people to look at. It just takes to long with Flickr and Photobucket

Was a good weekend boys, definetely great to finally meet every one. Will definetely have to organise something again in the future.

Also turned out my highway economy tuning paid off, ended up averaging 9.6L/100km for the whole weekend! Wohooo! No more 20L/100km bullshit haha.

Good photos Cal, i'll have a flick through mine soon to see if any of them turned out ok.

Matt, just gotta say it again, your car is pure pornography :wub:

Photos look good Cal thumbsup.gif

I had a great time, won't be so great when i try put my foot in my work boot tomorrow (f**ken god damn hill/garden). Going to bed early tonite sick.gif

Just struggle into work and claim compo because you "stubbed your toe at work" :P

Wish my fuel economy was that good...... I really need to get a wideband and start tuning.....

Yeah man you gotta get one and lean that shit out lol. For like the past 3 years I have had pretty shit fuel economy with the Microtech. This is the first time I have gotten it back to being good. I couldn't believe that it was 9.6L, had to triple check my maths to make sure I got it right :P

I feel like shit... Still.

Had an awesome weekend though. There are some photo's of Saturday night that are just... Bad. Great to meet everyone though! Next time though, midnight runs down Shute Harbour road. ;)

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
