well, not much progress, ive been flat out with work and family stuff.
what i did do though, sold the BBS and got me some GTR wheels, car looks really nice on them! also picked up a power fc, walbro 255lph pump and some new coil packs.
cars booked in for the 2nd of june at Edge motorworks.
cihans going to make up a new map and a little run in to finish off the run in period and have the car running as it should

wow, going over those old photos, i remember why i love this f**king thing so much! every picture taken, we would have been laughing our guts out till 1am, working on this thing

car is on the road but have not made any progress.
i got king hit on the 26th and have been recovering at home since.
currently not allowed to drive as ive suffered a torn eyeball, and vision is impaired and blury in my left eye, which is actually my bad eye lol. so soon.

No good at all!

Was the culprit caught? What is the long term prognosis regarding your vision?

My thoughts go out to you. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery.

no, but i know exactly who he is, where he lives and who his friends are :)
at the moment it looks like i need glasses and have a blind spot on the nose side, only slight so no big deal.

can still see blindspot= can still drive = all good :D
thank you Dale!


but there is a silver lining.
getting my garage extended this week end!!

That's pretty rough, at least you know who he is for sometime down the track; if you're that way inclined... :whistling:

More room for cars=Win!

That sucks mate, I also have vision impairment in one eye due to injury so I know it's not fun, luckily as humans we're able to adapt quite well so I'm sure you'll find it won't hinder you much at all in the future. Good luck with it all!

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
