haha ive had a moment in 4th at 100km+ on a wet freeway next to a hsv SLIDEWAYZ

show us the footage whatisname!

i might get hankooks K104s soon see how we go with the real wheel traction, if its still crap you guys are all paying for those tyres!!

Barring wet/greasy conditions, i'm running falken's - the only time i loose grip is near max leaving 1/2, and then 3rd, 4th when it's a tad wet. - although the tires will need changing soon, but they've not been ripped at all.

I'm a pretty new 'line driver, and getting used to the Rwd has been a bitch after many years of BM's and Saab's. (Esp 90Deg Corners under power!)

I have no idea of my output - '96 St, T04, Mines, Pod, High Flow Cat, Adjustable Front Shocks, stock rears - etc, etc...

I'll see if I can get it hosted tomorrow at work - if I can find it. If Martin (Donnon) is reading this he should remember that pass - he's leaning against the wall in the vid :D

Edit: I found the vid. It's very dark, so I'll see if I can lighten it up a touch at work tomorrow. It doesn't look all that scary in the video to be honest - just a little wobble and that's about it.

It is sooo true that size isn't EVERYTHING when it comes to traction. I had Falken Azenis 255/40/17's on my R32 with 217rwkw and it spun like crazy from 1st through to 3rd. If you took off normally, then hammered the throttle in second the tail would end up sideways like crazy. DECENT tyres go a long way, as aforemetnioned. Suspension & alignment setup is crucial, I think Sydneykid posted up what his ideal settings were for 200 plus rwkw cars...have it saved somewhere...will try to find the info and post it up.

    • @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.
