Hello fellow forum members

When: July 20th 2013

Meet up

Time: 9:30am

Departure: 10:30am

Where: Red Rooster Carpark M4 twin servos Eastern Creek Westbound

Where to: Megalong Rd Megalong Valley

Details:

We will leave the meet up point around 10:30am, be sure to either fill up before we leave or fill up at the caltex there at the meeting point. maybe grab some brekky from maccas if your hungry.

From there we will cruise down the m4 heading up towards the blue mountains, dont worry we will go this way i know its not as fun when we get to Blackheath turn off we then follow the signs to Megalong Rd, Megalong valley. For those who dont know where this is or what this is trust me, it is one of the roads that I have had the most fun cruising in. Heaps of twist and turns going down hill. This hill is very steep and very twisty and some parts do not have barriers so please be sensable going down the mountain.

when we get to the bottom of the hill its a big straight down the hill, please behave at this part because the last thing we want is for the cottage down the hill to call the boys in blue because we cant behave ourselves. At the bottom of the hill there is cottage that we can park and have lunch, they make some awesome home made pies, they are bit pricey so bring cash but the food is worth it plus they are so far from town and we are supporting the community at megalong, other than that please enjoy a fun cruise day out.

Please behave your self during this cruise as you are representing a respectable forum. (also there will be other forums invited aswell)

Make sure you give the Tearooms a call a full week before you go with your expected numbers so that they can put on extra staff for the day and order in more food, it's only a tiny kitchen.

Yep already onto that...called them and they told me to call a week before the cruise. hopefully we can get some good numbers for this cruise,

wow, looks like a good turn out if everyone shows.

and a great variety

yea it sure does looks like a great variety.....hopefully everyone shows....this is my first time organizing a cruise hopefully all turns out well, if this one turns out ok i will organise another cruise in the future....

Each of us "organisers" started somewhere - just like yourself :)

    • 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.  
    • 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.
