Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

really, really, really, really, really hope so mate. Ive been really depressed with it all lately :/

Its getting there man, it really is. When you build something you spend the first few months just going through it finding the weakest link all the time. Its better to find an ECU issue now than find it halfway up a hill in the middle of no where!

I know everyone who hasn't gone through a major exercise is always on you case about when you will get it back and how you should have it back and this makes you feel like the whole thing is a disaster....but builds gonna be bitches like this and to me its all gone pretty much to the recipe! All you can do is laugh (and cry a little), and know it will be good in the end.

Whats not to like, I earn money, no managers in today, I have field work later so the day will go fast, I get to put in my overtime forms earning me a few hundred more dollars. Beats sitting at home being unuseful!

See Monday is the day I have painful people to deal with and painful stuff to do and almost guarentee something goes wrong on a Monday!

I have the chilliest day today. It's a beautiful day, I get paid and I get to work on the river. Best Monday ever!! Ohh also got to see the sunrise, that's was pretty wicked

If I had a day like that I would like it

This is true. Better to get the ECU sorted out now as you said.

Hopefully Haltech get back to EFI soon, but I have a feeling that this is going to take quiet some time........................and even then................................. who knows what there gonna say (thats what worries me most)

Friday is my shite day, some times literally, if it can go wrong it will go wrong on a Friday.

Yeah it is a bit of a worry but hopefully its just a firmware update and away you go

Friday is generally pretty cruisy for me but if something chooses to be painful it is insanely painful!

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
