Howdy all,

Well the Thursday night meets/cruises seem to be going excellent, great turnouts each time and great to catch up with other line owners, hoping some knowledge will rub off on this noob :cheers:

Anyway I love to get along, but unfortunatly I have to work on Fridays and like Erin, like my sleep, and was wondering if we could change it to another night.

Obviously I am not asking to change it just for me, so vote in the poll and we'll see if everyone is happy to keep it on Thursday's or not.

Thanks!

Yeah I thought about that, but I'd really like to know which particular night people are interested, so if all of the above apply then just pick one that you would like to see become the regular night.

Try 5am, yes I know I sound like a wus or a whinger and I dont mind the thursday night meets, just means my intake of coffee for friday quadruples :cheers: That is why I just wanted to get an idea, that's all.

But call me weak if you want but unfortunatly my body just does not really work all that well on 5 hours sleep.

Looks like there is a trend emerging on the poll, :cheers:

I reckon thursday is a much better day for cruising as it is a weekday meaning less cops, less traffic, less bogans out, only problem for me is the work the next day, but hey you know what Hitler says, "Whatever does not kill you can only make you stronger."

I have to get up at 5:30am for work the next day but Thursday is still more suitable for most of the above reasons already stated. That way it doesn't clash with other weekend events and should keep the numbers consistant.

i have to be at work at 5:30, but i still go out, just means i drink more redbull/V :cheers:

sleep when i get home after fridays anyway, and most of the time its worth staying up :D

changing it to a monday night or such, will only make things harder for people, such as I get paid thursdays, and if something went wrong for some god aweful reason I would be abel to get it fixed pretty much striaght away.

but yeah im fine with any night if something changes.

thursday is still good for me. So far, none of these have had me back home any later than 12am.. So that leaves plenty of hours to get sleep in even if you have to work the next day.

Friday and Saturdays you get associated with the "usual" cruise/pack mentality and I think there will be problems there. The roads are much more busy also.

what goes on with these cuiz nights, like were do u meet up,what do u get up to, and who gets to go?

Mate...

The meeting spots rotate so everyone gets a fair deal... Brissy 1 week, GC the next...

What do we do? Talk for a bit.. Go for a leisurly drive to show off our pride and joy... Sometimes a spirited drive through some of the better roads around...

Anyone is welcome... C'mon down! We had a Mirage show up last week... :P There are new guys every week so you wont be out of place...

    • @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.
