What would be the best material for one to be made from do you guys think would work best? 3ish mm thick Aluminum sheet, Carbon fibre, Fibreglass or something different all together? If someone can pm me there mobile number to host a picture or 2 for me to sort of explain what I'm after that'd be awesome. As I only have Internet on the iPhone and no laptop currently.

What sort of material do you think would be best 89CAL?

Thanks Josh.

Alloy sheet for sure, itll take some bumps that way and not get damaged easily, ive been wanting to do this for a while...

I reckon one sheet will do almost back to the cat

Yeah I've been wanting to do this for a while also. What mm thivkness alloy sheet would be most suited? Needs to be strong enough to withstand flex, knocks and jolts ect. So maybe 2mm thick? I'm not really sure! How were you guys thinking of sercuring it to underneath the car? I've also heard of troubles fitting them with heavy duty swaybars eg. Whiteline 27mm adj front sway, anyone heard of this? As well as a large capacity sump. I don't currently have a big sump but will be getting one in the near future. Also how far out would be ideal for it to extrude out past the front bumper?

Once fitted and done properly what are the main gains to be had from the splitter undertray? Just give better stability and helps remove the air caught in around the engine bay which helps with better radiator cooling ect as far as I'm aware?

Thought this thread would have got more attention.

Cheers Josh

??? Honestly thought this would have gained more interest or atleast some pictures of some different idea's. So others planning to make one can get some ideas ect. Oh well. I also thought a company would be making these.

Bringing back this old underrated thread. I am also interested in this and would appreciate any info on how to make one, what material, how to fasten it etc. I am not looking to do a complete flat bottom undertray, just a splitter similar to what Richo did here http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428535-richos-r33-gtst/page-6

Would I need any drawing/design software or is it something that can be drawn/mocked up and cut at home with grinder etc?

Let me know what you all think

Cheers

I used cardboard sheeting to get the shape right and then used composite aluminium signboard. That stuff is more rigid than ally, and cuts easily with a circular saw. Undertray only, currently no forward projection to make it a splitter.

Pics can be found in my thread in motorsports builds.

Mounting takes a bit of creative thinking and used a few aluminium tabs and nut-serts to make it work. But it can be done by someone prepared to take the time.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @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.
