I think Glenn (GenesisR32) has been volenteered for next week :), It's brissies turn and I'll be there with my own ride this time :)

Again it was a great meet, got splitup, so someone must have not had someone in their rear view mirror, but we had some dramas with cars suddenly dieing in the middle of roads, and unfortunatly the boys in blue decided to hit up one person for having the speed needle too high, other than that, those of us that got to the Beechmont part, LOVED it, gotta teach me how to go sideways between a cliff face and oncoming traffic Adrain, I was cold sweating it for ages after that ;)

Well I tried my best to make it so that everyone was able to do the run, wether they got seperated or not, but those damn boys in blue had to show up :) oh well I had a BLAST! Thanks again Adrian for the passengers seat!

Yeah wasn't quite so good up the back when the group got split and went 3 diffrent ways. The traffic was the main show stopper, prehaps 9pm is a bit too early to be taking to that road. Most of you guys were hanging around till late anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem to head out an hour or two later.... More UHF's would help too :blah:

Anyway thanks go to Ska for the excellent route guide, and thanks guys for letting me come on the cruise :)

hey Glen,

Brisbane is that way :)

hahaha!! ... thought you would follow me... was kicking myself for taking the wrong turn but the roundabouts were fun.

how fast were you going, Warwick?? i caught up with Charly and Jlnewton but no sign of you???

*migrane

sigh... wished that i was up in front with you guys... esp after how Cyrus described to me the close call he had with Adrian :blah:

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
