Bulahdelah_Supp_Regs_-_20_March20111.doc

thanks for posting up....I've been meaning to do this event for years and it is good timing for me this year. I can't confirm until after the SAU track day, but will go if everything is OK :D

Interesting that they have dropped CAMS this year.

This is funny (from the supp regs) A new class 6001cc – 10000cc is now in operation & a class for THE OLD & THE BOLD

I guess turbo 3.8 and 4l motors are causing capacity problems to old CAMS rules

yer

i no from the past that thay where haveing problems in that for a state event thay need a Ambulance and for a club day all thay need is sant jhons ambo and this change ever year so that where haveing truble bugeting cost and so the event gets cand

there are a lot of club going down the aasa road as its eazer to run a event but it will be intersting if / when that have there first crash which corse death or majer injery as thay have neve been teated trow cort and aasa min reg are not the same as cams and as cams is recnised at a world level

sorry for the bad spelling it is no my stronge point

i will be trying to get there to race if cant do that i will be going to spectat as my first race for the year keeps getting put back and back

yeah SAU NSW don't run anything except social under CAMS....AASA are just too much easier, cheaper and more helpful.

I'm sure their insurance policies are fine....they already cover all of the tarmac rallies except Targa West, and they have lots of big stacks.

yer im starting to look in to going that way

with the car club that im in (newcastle sporting car club)

as no one in our club has the license from cams for us to run a events

i have started to look in to it and it will be munths away be for we can

we have a area the we car run 3 MOTORKHANAs at once

just need that bit of paper

Spewing, I'll be in Thailand...is that good or bad? lol

That should not be a problem Chris as I am sure that some of the boys could run your car for you in your absence - that way next year you will have a time to beat.

I promise that we will take good care of it for you.....

My home town...don't know if that is a good or a bad thing...

The Hillclimb is always a good couple of days. I'll be there. I Will only be spectating though.

If anyone is keen for a little cruise on the way there from newcastle (e.g old pacific hwy though Boral, maybe a sneaky trip up to foster on the lakes way), id be keen. Would be cool to meet some fellow enthusiasts.

cheers.

any pics or vids of the track?

It's the section of the Old Pacific Highway at Wooton is it not?

When the bypass went in several years ago to rid the world of those things called "bends" that so many drivers are terrified of; this section became fairly disused, as it only gets used by local traffic.

It was really overdue though, it simply couldn't safely take the traffic, and we deserve better for the major roadway between two states.

It's a great bit of road without those pesky cars everywhere, but normally you have to watch out for fallen tree branches & heaps of leaf litter, that's how little traffic it sees.

Do yourself a favour, break your trip & turn in at Wooton for a 20km detour of awesome bends and a damn fine winery "Great Lakes Winery " Steve & Robyn are great people & they make some damn fine wines!

yeah a great piece of road, very quick a hillclimb, it is up to 3 lanes wide in places.

unfortunately I can't be there, got my weekends wrong, this clashes with the state champs at eastern creek.

good luck aza!

    • @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.
