is that the full on drag car with a HKS T62?

you cant compare that thing to nicks car, thats just unfair.

We cant legitimately compare. but we can use it to troll Nick.

Nick will say its faster....for now, and be all mysterious and shit and we will all go back to not caring

i reckon. so now i will spend half my life driving to the southside to see everyone.

luck of the draw for the rental applications i submitted. this one went through first and time was running out so i had to take it.

the real pisser is going to be driving from Paddington to Sherwood and then to the Mater every Tuesday morning to take mum for chemo...

So what ur saying is, it's ok for your motor to change something to allow much more air into the engine but it's not ok in my case.... Hmm

How did I say that? Stock turbo, stock injectors, unopened motor. Good tuning, good sum of OEM parts :)

No.... If u haven't noticed I'm never happy unless I'm annoying someone else

This appears to be true...

Northside peeps aren't too bad, well most of us anyway :) That drive would be a dampener tho...

welcome to the cool side of town. Need a hand on the weekend?

Nick will say its faster....for now, and be all mysterious and shit and we will all go back to not caring

..... For now

But no seriously my car will never run an 8 that's mental

Thanks Smelly :P

You will have to come around for a drink and say hello sometime and prove that y'all aren't such a bad sort.

Thanks Andy. She went for her first treatment today but had an allergic reaction and is still there. Was meant to be a quick 3 hour session. :(

cool, this fact remains to be seen. Umm....I should be alright for moving I think but thank you for the offer.

Shit. That sucks re: allergic reaction.

If you need a hand with anything, let me know. :)

I'm going to throw it out there that Mike's old Z would eat your abomination on the strip. And I think that he may have spend a little less on his car overall as well :P

That's not a fair fight, and to be honnest, I don't think I would have spent less lol

least nick doesnt need to take the engine out to swap his plugs tho.....

I am getting the biggest urge to single the unicorn, though with defects going the way they are perhaps I would be better off staying twins and putting the stock air box back in.

Hmm *ponders*

That's not a fair fight, and to be honnest, I don't think I would have spent less lol

Since when is fair a conceivable option when dealing with Nick? He brings us down to his level and beats us with experience.

That my friend, is not fair :P

Thanks Smelly :P

Sucks about the reaction!!!

Haha knew it wouldn't be long until someone called me Smelly! We are gathering at Z German Club thursday night if you wish to come, there will be some of us north siders there :)

She was actually lhao at you via PM... Ouch

I must learn not to subconciously send PM's always gets me in trouble...

Shit. That sucks re: allergic reaction.

By anthing he also means more than happy to drink beers, just incase you thought he may be the not drinking kind...

    • 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.
    • 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.
