S A U - Act Cruise To The 2013 Nationals In S.a ?


Recommended Posts

Trouble is, it's hard to drive these cars gently.

You don't get a Tiger and expect it to curl up on your lap and purr.

You slap it, Hear it ROAR and Lose an arm and a leg Wrestling it.

If we all wanted Good Fuel Economy, we'd buy a Hyundai Getz and Race Falcons. :D

GTR tanks are around 70L. I have 2 large pumps in tank and no surge tank so I never let it get below 50L max.

GTR is currently about 15L/100 on the highway.

My only pre req on fuel economy is that I can get to Sydney from Canberra on one tank of fuel and it does that.

I'm already in... But leaving the Tuesday before hand, so probably too early for you lot...

And probably driving slower then you lot :P

Well i started this in NSW to see who is going ya kent, then i found you in here lolz -

This sounds like an awesome event. Need to have a think about this one...

2012 was epic atmosphere! I was sidelined after the shitbox car didnt want to play BUT had the best weekend anyway :yes:

No it wasn't as I wasn't there!!!

Yay more crazy kids to keep us company!!! Hopefully we get a good turnout!!! Can't wait...

Woohoo! Looking forward to it! My friend had a Corolla hire car booked the other day and got upgraded to a Beemer. We're hoping for the same (we have a Cruze apparently).... last minute SAU Nats entry? hehe

Nope :/ no enthusiasm shown from the locals to do the trip with me and I could do with the coin for :santa:

Hope you have a :w00t: :w00t: WOW :w00t::w00t: of a awesome time.

So few from NSW, Heaps from Vic, and even the S.A locals :glare: seemed light on the ground for attendance :(

anyways no unfortunately, sorry Shellicious

    • @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.
