Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

We've been over this before....

ECU isn't compatible. Plenty of servos around. Why bother.

orly?

The reason I ask is because of this

Dalby Ethanol Bio-Refinery under threat of closure. - See more at: http://www.unitedpetroleum.com.au/united/news/news-item/news/2014/02/17/dalby-ethanol-bio-refinery-under-threat-of-closure-#sthash.i1z8FdYx.dpuf

Almost didn't stay up for the race last night. Glad I did :), but boy am I going to pay for it today. Struggle street... :S

Pretty sure I will be going home this arvo to watch it online... I like 4 or the top 5 so I will like the race at least :P

Yeah. And by carrying jerry can problem solved. In fact I can fit 2 of the 20L ones in easily. It was really more of a question of do i stop at every servo along the way or do I take the Jerry can so I can stop less to save time, As I was trying to cram Leyburn and Kawana into one day. My range is limited however, yes, but honestly I don't think that i'll need to go further than a bit of planning will allow at any point in the future.

Part of it is also that i'm still trying to get a handle on the economy of the new Fuel. I was getting 17-18L/100km on the first few tanks but these were city and spirited driving, so max 400km from a tank. From T'bar>Leyburn>home>Logan servo on Saturday I averaged 14.7L/100km which is much better, almost 500km/tank range there.

Once I get the O2 sensors in hopefully it'll be even better again!

I travelled to and from bribie island though so there was some km's involved. I left my house with a full tent got to the BBQ point with half tank, threw in my 20L then drove home and once I got there I had half a tank again. A lot better than I expected really

Guess it's less painful paying $1.25 p/litre

Mitsubishi ASX is a POS but fuel efficient... Just don't try to overtake, or corner at a normal speed on a slightly rough road... Needless to say it was over 10hrs in a boring car on the weekend...

What ecu are you using Pete? Nistune?

How will narrowband O2's help with e85?

Better off removing closed loop IMO and tuning for a targetted afr at cruise ;)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
