It's been on the dyno. GIVE IT SOME! :D

RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where you gonna peg the boost needle Ant eater?

lol........soon Paulie very soon.

Have no idea what Sean is setting things at so I guess everything will be revealed when I get to pick up the ant-eater

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok, thats fair enough Scottie.

Many apologies to all regarding the slow progress of late regarding this project.

I have been trying very, very, very, hard to get things wrapped up but alas these delays are unfortunately out of my control (which has been frustrating the hell out of me :verymad: )

So, after I called the tuner last week (who was frantically focusing on getting ready for Jamboree), my Haltech ECU decided to more or less crap itself after an hour on the dyno - something to do with the coms port not reading. The tuner told me he has sent the ECU to Haltech for repair.

Needless to say that after that conversation I felt pretty much guttered.

From seeing the Ant-Eater being tuned on the dyno to this was rather depressing. Although its a new computer (as in never been used) its out of its warranty period.

Anyways, to cut a long story short, I have been in contact with Haltech today (who are a great to deal with BTW) to find out what the prognosis is.

The ECU has passed preliminary testing which is positive to hear. However, there is a display error - im not sure what this means yet.

I have been told that the ECU will be returned tomorrow to the workshop, so hopefully it will be all good.

That is all I have for the moment guys.

I do hope to have some communication from my tuner this week and x fingers it will be ready soon.

Once more information is made available to me I will off course update you's all.

Oh man! Your so close! Not long to go now :)

Glad to hear Haltech were happy enough to assist you though, i was strongly considering one before i picked up my nistune. However local Adelaide support was the decider for me.

Get us some dyno footage :D! Must hear... rb..

Sounds frustrating to say the least, mate. Bear with it, you've come a long way with the beast and have had bigger hurdles than this! You're close, and I look forward to seeing the final power run video with power graph :)

Ok,ok..............so the Ant-Eater Finally got tuned :)

I will just post up some pics so they can do the talking.

Enjoy ;)

All results using BP Ultimate 98

Thread needs more pics of the car back in your hot little hands Ants.

Not sure where about you live but have you thought about trying it on E85? or maybe getting the Haltech Flex Sensor and run both. Sorry if this has been covered before

ah the ever dangerous "........for now"

can I just say power figure aside that torque curve is AWESOME!!!......

smooth drive and given the motor reliable as....

Im guessing that 350 on a "Run in " tune ?????

I'm thinking in 6 months this shit will get re-dic

So future plans are to get it tuned on E85 and install an ethanol sensor just 4 piece of mind and hopefully crack that 400rwkw.

Since I have a United service station literally not even 300 meters away, the availability of E85 is not an issue.

After speaking to Sean, he mentioned there is plenty of power to be had. So things look promising.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
