lol yeah I've heard WA and Queensland are a bit loose :P

sweet I'll check that out, but I recon it maybe cheaper to find an original air box, than somehow enclosing the pod(which is kind of next to the intercooler behind the bumper).

just a question, how much did the blueslip cost you????

i got quoted 130 bucks for a blue slip as it is an import...... i just got my girlfriends audi quattro done and that only cost 57 bucks.. why is the import more expensive?

btw everyone, had a proper look under the bonnet and took of some stuff off so I could see around the area better.

I found the bov DOES recirculate back into the uncompressed side of the turbo just after the air flow meter which is standard.....

the psssshhhh noise was coming out of the pod filter :P haha

So now I know that they can not ping me on the BOV anymore as it spec to standard recirculating not atmospheric, just have to add in the standard intake box to stop the noise :(

Also I found a standard R32 RB20DET air intake box for $10 on trademe.co.nz and with the exchange rate make that approx $8 yeaha! :D

thats an import complience plate, not a mod plate.

It tells you when & who compilied the car to meet australian standards when it was imported.

  • 3 weeks later...

right so, I have the standard air intake box (bearly fits) and the standard recirculating Valve fitted. Car booked in tomorrow at mechanics for blue slip. fingers crossed.

thought it was funny, I mentioned to the mechanic of the things I had fitted as he had asked and then he was like yeah sweet as and then when ya get home you can change them back....... lol

lol you are not going to believe this...

So I rock up to the Mechanics on Clark Road in Neutral Bay and the first thing he says is "have you fixed the oil leak". I'm like ummmm what oil leak??? he pops the bonnet and wipes his hand on the backside of the engine and is hand has some dirty/grease stuff on it, no way oily at all. I said to him dude thats not an oil leak thats a dirty engine the car is parked in the same spot and there are NO oil drips on the concrete so your full of shit.

He then processed to tell me he was not going to do it as he would be accountable for everything on the car if I got pulled over by the cops. I said well IF in that case I did get pulled over and the cops for some strange reason even wanted to ever talk to you, you could just say it was all standard to begin with(but why would they want to speak to you anyway! maybe if the car was in an accident).

I was pleading with the guy (I don't know why, guess I just wanted it done) to do the blue slip but still refused. So drove up the road to another place in North Sydney called Quixspede and booked it in there. I noticed they had some performance cars in their garage so maybe these dudes will know what they are doing..

hopefully.

stock bov is better anyway....

Stock ECU expects recirculation and as such runs better with recirc bov.

also stock bov is EASLIY good enough for most cars... i've been running 300+rwkw for years on mine (most it has seen is about 28psi)

also atmo bovs sound like aids

might as well keep it, save the cop hastle and have a car that runs better

oh really? the aftermarket BOV was recirculating back into the uncompressed side of the intake anyway, but yeah guess that could be a goer then if it can handle.

sooo the story continues:

The guys at Quixspede did the blue slip and said all I had to do was get a battery clamp (has cable ties holding it atm), get covers/lenses for the side indicators(the ones behind the wheel arch, as the light blub is exposed) and raise the back of the car 20mm as the lowest point on the car is at 80mm. I feel this is greatQ pretty easy to fix to get the car back on the road.

Today I fitted after-market side indicators, still waiting on delivery on the battery clamp and adjusted the adjusties. But ran into an issue, I did the back right side fine(wheel nuts were hard to get off) I couldn't for the life of me get 1 of the wheel nuts on the left side off :( going to a mechanic tomorrow morning to see if their air compressor gun can get it off. I actually bent my wheel brace trying to get it off. Adjusting them were easy, I was going to buy a c spanner but found a screw driver and hammer the better/cheaper option :P

    • @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.
