Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I did 120km yesterday on around 1/8 of a tank. Stock ecus are terribly rich at cruise. Skylines don't have to be terrible on fuel!

Mine gets about 9L/100km at cruise and about 10L/100km when I drive it around town. When I get around to a new ECU I'll definitely be getting a lot of attention paid the the cruise map settings.

Well know idea what mine us gonna be like..........but I have a sneakin suspicion it's not gonna be greatly fuel efficient

As long as it's better than Nicks 20L/100 for 200KW

But you all get more than me a week there is my problem :(

I had a dream I sold my car for 4500.... Woke up and went to ckeck my car was still there. Had me scared

Getting $4500 for yours would be a dream :P

Question... who has had a screamer pipe before? Ive always been against it due to driving my car a lot and it would be annoying. Now i wont be driving my car anywhere near as much im contemplating getting one for something different. As far as im aware there is no increase in performance having one..

I would think since your are releasing energy before the turbo there would be no performance gain. I know of someone in the Supra club with one but I don't know what she thinks of it other than she can't go to lakeside due to noise restrictions.

It will be ok, Sean pays attention to the cruise areas of the map in an attempt to keep fuel usage down, Your will be quite similar to mine I imagine.

The only advantage is if your exhaust is not flowing enough to cope with the extra volume of gas when the wastegate opens, in that instance it will allow you to control boost better.

    • 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.
