Open invite to round 3 of the Nulon Nationals at Wakefield raceway. Round 3 will see some of Australia`s fastest track cars take on the tight and twisty Wakefield Raceway in a time attack event. During the lunch break Nulon will also have a passenger session for those who want to take people on a hotlap. Free entry for all, Gates open at 8:00am, racing from 8:30am.

SAUNSW will also be cruising down to the event, so that we can support the team. Information on the cruise can be found here: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458260-sau-nsw-july-monthly-meet-nulon-nats-round-3/#entry7568311

SAUNSW has some catching up to do, here are the current point standings.

I hope the weather gets better by next week, or we may all need snow tyres, two of the cars in our team have snow plough front diffusers :)

Actually make that 3 with a possible 4th :laugh:

Good stuff guys back on top with one round to go

And a strong team waiting to represent at cootamundra

Wrong standings Nick :D

Big props to the SAU NSW crew - I've been following this with very keen interest as the rounds have unfolded.

Coota round will be interesting... The HSV boys have broken ranks to try land some points it would seem!

Team:

Peter Beswick (Nissan R35, 3.8L T/C)

Ian Williams (Narain Lamborghini Aventador, 6.5L, N/A)

hehe.

I believe next year the events might be going interstate, Vic potentially having a round. Winton was discussed as the best place from a cost perspective, PI/Sandown are unlikely due to the expense... Be interesting to see if that happens. Maybe some friendly VIC/NSW wager will be in order!

Best of luck for Coota! May all the horsepowers be with you :D

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
