hehe westy cops are as dumb as the residents :D after all they are the prized members their community has to offer.

And you'd have to be pretty dumb to drill extra holes in your rim etc... kudos to them for cracking down. If you know how to modify your car properly n not make it a PSSSST fullsick westie boost machine then I'm sure you won't get a ticket in the mail.

i think we should all plan a 10-15minute interval hit of the phone lines on the above number.. and concuss the fu(k out the cops.. but nowadays the vic cops not only make ther moola from speeding fines & prostituting themselves to bracks, their also making some "key-ash" on the side for themselves.. so maybe we need to have an SAU fund, where we could donate to their well being so if anyone displaying an SAU sticker gets off scott free :)

"blower valves" that allowed unburnt gases to escape without being recycled into the engine... :confused:

WTF does that have to do with the price of fish in China??!? I believe that, at last check, I exhale unburnt gases that are not recycled when I breathe out... admitedly if i was to go to the pits, my emissions would probably fail ahahahaha

hey dark, good to see ya back mate. There was a thread started not long ago about a trip to a hospital?? i didn't get details, anyways, hope all is well.

and that is great piece of comical writing! blower valves, 10sec 0 - 100, fires under bonnets, tacho's making cars go faster, drilling holes in rims?? wtf?? maybe they meant exhaust??

it's quite scary what comes out of the mouth of some police ppl.

If a Sen-Constable doesent know wtf he is talkin about with regard to cars, u cant expect the rest of the wankers under him to know any better.

Also sounds like the juro that wrote the article knew wha the pig was saying was BS and just kept all his quotes in there to make him look more stupid.

Someone write a letter to the editor pointing out all the BS the cop said about taking 18 seconds to get to 100 for a normal family car, and blower valves having nothing to do with exhaust gases.

Did it actually say "Waverton" or is that your typo dARK?

typo :)

my bad.. fixed now.. :)

yep, thats what i thought... because whenever the sen-constable states a fact like that.. he leaves the quotes in, heh..

still no idea why someone would drill holes into a wheel.. makes no sense

dark u should write in to the editor staing u r 17 years old and still dont have a licence, yet you know more about these apparent souped up cars than a senior sargent that is trying to enfoce things he doesent even understand. Also u could add in the comment that the sargent might still think he is living in the 1950's when family cars take 18 seconds to get to 100km/h and not 2004.

Seriously - have any of you stopped for one second to think that maybe just maybe the REPORTER got the facts wrong - maybe the jotted notes were misread?

Cause I dont believe that there is a Sen Constable out there that thinks family cars take 18s to get to 100km/hr. It sounds to me more like dodgy reporting that article.

hang around long enough and suck enough dick in the police force and u become a senior constable. Doesnt meant u need to the actual facts about what u r tryng to enforce.

    • @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.
