Not sure if StinkyPoo and CeeJay are planning on being in it but it's looking pretty good...

Just a thought... How many of these would be likely to be printed??? Would there be a market for them amongst the rest of SAU??? Not just the ACT???

Edited by Not a Pulsar

ahh Cejay - forgot to pm you.

Did about an hours work on a friends car this morning just to demonstrate the difference. and took a few pics of what's possible.

Unfortunately wont upl;oad due to size

Richard, do you have Windows Paint on your PC? If so...

1) Open the image with Paint.

2) directly below Edit (up top) select the box called "select".

3) then right click on the pic and select "Stretch/Skew".

4) where it says "horizontal 100%" and "Vertical 100%", change both to 50%,.

5) Click OK.

Voila!!! Image is Shrunken!!!

6) then goto Edit (top left) and save as a Jpeg with a different name.

7) upload that one.

Boom...

Should chuck up a pic of that little section on the boot you did to demonstrate what the results are without putting wax on, still a massive improvement!

Also yes everyone I know how horrific that paint looks :(

    • 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.
