Hi Guys , sorry for the delay , just got home from Tassy.

VIC STATE CRUISE is ON!

22nd Jan is the date , two weeks away , just before Aust Day, UPPER Yarra Dam is the location , There will be TWO assembly points . 1st Mick will be at Monash Uni off Wellington Rd meeting time 10.00 am for a 10.30 departure and will LEAD the group and travel via the same route as the cancelled Lilydale lake cruise but continue on through Lilydale and turn right at Maroondah Highway and then right into Warburton Hwy , then onto Jarra Junction (approx 28km).

Second Assembly point will be approx 800mtrs through Yarra Junction on your left (plenty of room to park) where the Western suburb guys can meet with Adam and Myself if they wish, that will get us to the dam somewhere aruond 1.00/1.30pm , bring your own everthing BBQ`s are on site.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE ARE USING PUBLIC ROADS ,HOONING,SPEEDING WILL BE FROWNED ON AND WE ARE THERE TO HAVE A GOOD DA Y,

coparts - I'm assuming the second meeting point (for the westsiders) is the car park at Yarra Junction Reserve??? and what would be the best time to meet (best case senario according to Google Maps is around 12ish)..

Is anyone bring Walkie Talkies??

Sorry to throw some rocks on your road...but are you sure about the route?was checking it through Google (long story short ,the miss has problems with mountain roads so I checked first...)in your second map you are following the yarra river course ...don't know just asking,Thanks.

11.30 / 12.00 sounds good to me ,area no 2 as mentioned is approx 800 meters through Yarra Junction on your left (it is the old highway before the realignment ) and yes most of the route follows the river and winds up through the hills to the Dam, bitumen road is good as we traversed it in the opposite direction the last cruise

What time do you guys anticipate arrival and departure of second meet point? I'm hoping to join you guys there. Actually thinking of selling my V36 Coupe and buying a Stagea!

Chris

I might meet you guys at Lilydale.

Anyone else from the North/North East want to meet me somewhere then hook up with the main bunch @ Lilydale?

Well, my Mrs has just informed me that she won't be out that long in the morning and she's booked us in to look at a couple of cars for her early Sat morning so I'll probably lob at the meet point and shuffle off with everyone but at some stage zig when you guys zag and head home.

So, who's heading to Monash from the north/north east?

well you can meet up with me at maccas bell street if you want

It's a bit of a shizen place to get to, but it'll be early on Saturday so traffic should be pretty light.

I'll meet you there at 9am.

    • @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.
