Who's got any recommendations on guard rolling? My mate is running 9.5s on his s15 and wants a bit more clearance on the rear. I told him I could do it easily but the results would differ from a professional job haha. Where should I tell him to take it?

Depends on what he needs done..to have to lip rolled up all the way I have had about 5 cars done at wheelworx and have been happy everytime. Most wheel / tyre places won't get the lip the whole way up. Wheelworx made their own guard roller and Joe knows his stuff

My guards were rolled by Scandyflick using a mallet and heat gun, far cleaner than many 'professional' jobs I've seen. Results always differ, but I didnt have any paint cracking.

i was gonna say, wooden or rubber mallet+heat gun+patience

All you RB20 people out there.

Brothers 32 is running abit weird. It has splitfires, 040, stock turbo, new plugs etc

When driving it, it hits around 38-4000rpm and cuts power (basically back down to 1500rpm then climbs again, then cuts)

I've checked the ignitor and AFM (borrowed others) and that hasnt fixed it.

The car doesn't get driven much so any help is appreciated.

Next step would be gap some new plugs (current is 1.1 or 1.2)

cant give Kudos Motorsport a more high rep

purchased parts a year ago and he couldn't supply the parts Andrew offered a full refund minus the parts he supplied and i said i would be happy to purchase more parts later which brings me to now

after deciding i didn't want to purchase more parts Andrew was willing to refund the price of the pars

very happy would happily use again

Try ignition pack, mate had a problem with his recently were it would drop revs and cylinders until he got a new one. If not I'm on the ECU train

Tried the ignitor and didn't fix it. Will try ecu, if that doesn't fix it been told maybe tps sensor.

tps wouldnt kill the throttle, tps is only there for response. if the tps is unplugged you can still run the engine

do you have a consult cable? I'd be chucking that on and seeing if there are any ecu error codes...

does the car idle OK?

-D

+1 steve. Ive only dealt with them twice but both times Ive been very happy in all respects

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
