500HP? If you say so. Sure, I'll take that.

No no no no no...........I want the information to be as accurate as possible on SAU so please enlighten to me how much poawha you had on that day ;)

This. Power figures for every run down to the tenth of a kilowatt.

big thanks to organizers, met a handful of other guys which is cool, and I will probably go to the next one. between now and then ill have to get back there to a few test and tunes to get the gremlins sorted. I got some footy also ill be uploading to Youtube soon from the day.

Also, thanks to a few guys who pulled up and offered assistance to me when my car started smoking after the 3rd, 4th, and 5th runs. I figured out why it was smoking... I was pushing that much oil up into the catch tank, it was going out the pcv and into the intake.

my fastest run was a 12.8 very early in the day (second run) when I was still learning how to drive it. unfortunately from there it just got slower and slower until I found I had lost 20mph at the big end.. later finding that I had 2 litres of oil in the catch tank, and about 1.5 liters had gone through the engine clogging up the air filter/intercooler/intake/AFM.. messy.. and a Big thanks! to Noel, for lending me tools to help me clean it up so I can drive home, your a champ mate.

cheers,

Hi Dale. I was one of the blokes to talk to you about your car. It was a pleasure to meet you. Hope to see you around at more SAU events soon and maybe with my car too ;)

Thanks mate, time is a killer for me and I'm on call 24/7 which makes it difficult. Definitely keen on attending more driving events, and I hope to see your beast their too.

cheers, D

Well now. Since you attended an official SAU event that automatically gives you an extra 50hp so no need to make any amendments :P

Well, I've been doing that for years, so god knows what I'm making these days!

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
