There is also a kind of scorn reserved for those who do the twin system exhausts etc. to stock holden sixes and other non-asian made cars. It is the same illness that effects the 'rice boy'. The strange desire to put a hornet bonnet scoop (not ducted to the underbonnet) on a 4cyl torana is the very same sickness. It all comes down to the owners firm belief that deep down his/her car is faster for the effort.

Beware of playing the same game as the 'trev'. Don't be drawn into a counter culture that likes the 'cheap wine only comes in 5L' stickers. Instead appreciate 'all' performance. It is a truely sad day when the 5L V8 powered whatever kicks your arse whislt you have one of those stickers and believe me there are a few around that WILL kick your arse.

well my mate in his "HYPER' excel twin "PHAT" exhaust, lowered n mags (also spoiler thats bigger than the actual car)

said he was a rice burner, cos he burns on lancers......

2 months later he wrote off his car, slaming into a pole, he said the car was to fast and powerful for him, and wen he said he tried to "drift" around a corner, his back flipped out and lost control.....

i just smilled and said, yer i no....there hell fast aye mate, did u have a kappa sticker on it?

Cool thanks dude, do you know if a knock sensor can be installed on a rotary?

short answer: no. I don't know

long answer: my understanding is that the "knock sensor function" of some bolt on electronics or even the plug and play stuff is that the knock sensor is actually pre-existing and that these just take an electrical feed.

In the R33s, the nock sensor is used by the computer to retard the timing in the event of detonation.

Therefore, my advice would be to check the wiring diagram on the car. It will probably have a knock sensor already.

if not, then you need to ask someone who knows what theyre talking about - probably in a thread related to what you're asking about.

    • 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.
