Erm... Actually you'll find more cars are written off at a club level drag racing than circuit racing...

got proof or stats to back that up Marie? If not.......

shut up Marie :P

Been thinking about this ECU BS! I'm gonna call Haltech tomorrow to see if they have recieved it from EFI / Sean. I'm preying it will be there...........cause if not........ well I think I will fkn explode of ape shitnness!

If they spoke with you today, it could still be in transit.

Well from Drag days (Street cars) I've been at, it's been 2 from 2 crashing.

Been to many many many more circuit days, and only seen 3 cars crash at the circuit. 2 of those involved proper race cars, not street driven ones.

That tells me enough :P

But not 100% stats, but from what I've seen even watching our own motor sport section from guys club level racing with street cars. More damage drag racing, whether it be into walls, or things assploding and destroying panels.

I'm the reverse. I've seen more people crash at circuit level than at drags. And I've been to many many many many many many drag days including even private ones with my old boss.

Having said that I've only seen a handful of circuit days but unfortunately each one I went to cars were mega banged up!

Note to self, don't go to a circuit day that Ants attends. That way my car won't crash

stay away from open flames unless you want to pretend to be from harry potter

I survived YAYYYY!!!! I wasn't even game to open the oven, then I went oh hey that finger has no nail polish on it, taste tested the mashed potato and wanted to die because I had spilled nail polish remover on that finger also BLERH!!!!

Sup all?

Got to drive Zane's car to the mall, it's like a special treat when he hands me the keys I must have been well behaved yay! :laugh:

Did you drug him? You totally drugged him, hence why you have his keys...

Yeah, was just thinking the same... Maybe this is why his tuner has kept his car? So he can't take it to track days and make others crash...

could be. I seem to have VERY positive influence on others :P

I have an ecu you can use too if needed. Hopfully a quick firmware update and you are good.

Welcome officially to the modified gtr club. You only get in after your first heartbreaking build!

so, im part of the club?

thanks.

You sent an ECU to Heltech? Oh god I hope they aren't as bad as they used to be. I know a couple of people (club members) who sent gear to Haltech for repairs/trouble shooting. Their response? "We don't support that model ECU anymore." and then they drilled a hole right through it. These were previous model ECU's as well, not some ancient rubbish but stuff maybe a year out of date.

I think he has spoken to them about the drilling issue and they said if they receive it they won't drill it...

    • 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.
