Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

So asked a mechanic bout the flame popping he reckons it's fine and if I'm worried about the fuel and such take it to tuning shop and get them to look at the ecu history.

Used to have a few when i was younger as my mother loved cats. They do provide many WTF moments

I'm no cat person either. But as Scottie said they do provide fkn weird moments

I think it would be wise to see a tuna regarding this, as your exhaust flows more than b4 and ECU may need to be retooned.

Its only a stock ecu isn't it? All you can do to retune is unhook the battery and reset it.

Got Clint to reset it last weekend when we cleaned the AFM.

Time to buy aftermarket ECU or get a nistune man. either way it's about $1400 minimum

Not a big Nistune fan personally. I think if you are going for an aftermarket ECU its bets to get a new stand alone unit. Either Link/ViPec or Haltech

I fkn love cats!!!! Having a bad day give me a combination of cats, puppies and Charlie the unicorn and all is well in the world!!! I want my house so I can get a huge ass cat and 2 or 3 dogs!

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
