Lol.

Not sure If my Arse Dyno needs calibrating but the Extractors may well have freed up a little bit of response and midrange. :D

Sweet. SkyHatch aint no Snarling Beast but she's fun.

Got my rego sorted!

The 34 is officially ACT registered!

Man first time rego is expensive, it cost me $800 for 3 months because of stamp duty

yupppp

well done though, will keep an eye out for spots :woot:

Awesome!!! Well Done Mate.

Stamp duty sux. Unless the car only cost a Grand. :banana:

took off my intake manifold out for painting

was surprised that how clean it was

I think the engine was rebuild at some stage because the bolts on the engine mount has marks of spanners and the other little bits and pieces has marks of spanners

Time for more boost :banana:

Chipped N13 ECU installed yesterday. (Tuned for port/polish and Camira cam)

Even with just Pod and Extractors I THINK??? it feels a wee bit Quicker. ;)

A Camira cam? So a toyota cam fits in... cool Japanese.

I wonder... how easy would it be to find one in a wreck, and how cheap it would be.

I spose there may be other issues like lifters and bearings, whats the go, is it a thing people do?

As far as I know the Camira was all GM. When discontinued the model was replaced by a Holden/Toyota hybrid thing though.

There was a model that had the same 1.8l as Rob's pulsar.

The 18le engine in the N13 is a GM family II engine. The leaded JD Camira 1.8 cam is the cam to have (Not the unleaded 1.8 variety).

Apparently it has the highest lift and longest duration of all the GM family II cams.

Dunno if I'll go there or not but it's interesting nonetheless. :)

I think it's kinda cool that the SkyHatch has a Holden engine and the SkyWagon has the Nissan engine that Holden used. :cool:

A n00b question incase someone knows...

As this ECU was apparently tuned for: Extractors, Freeflowing exhaust, Port n Polish and Cam to make it richer at higher RPM,

Having it installed with Pod and Extractors but stock cam and exhaust, No port n polish etc... Would this likely cause issues?

Should the timing be set differently etc? Would it be likely to run lean or rich? Detonation possible?

Learn me! :D

likely has more timing to compensate for the lost dynamic compression after fitting a larger cam.

but given its a kinder suprise tune id be erring on the side of nothing would have changed more than a couple of percent

Cheers Zeb. Was kinda hoping you would reply. ;)

So what do you reckon? Should I retard timing slightly or just have a play with it and see what works best and avoid audible ping?

I guess the Sensible thing to do would be Dyno/Wideband etc... but meh. Cheap Car is Cheap.

    • @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.
