Now featuring a guy who believes that science...er...proves the theory of evolution to be...wrong?

Pretty sure the guy may be Ken M

I re-read and it actually never said hp or kw so that's my bad. He said stock turbo at first then later said he was using an eBay special, so who knows.

I've been helping a friend of mine for well over a 2-3 years regarding pulsar questions and opinions... I've tried to help him with so many things, get quotes for engine work, recommended mods, what he should do etc. At least one question a week. Went and bought an ok S15 for when he is off his p's, but still happy to spend money on cosmetic bits for the pulsar, planning for engine bay bits later (half of which he was going to buy off me). Now he wants to sell the pulsar with all mods attached at a loss, sell the S15 and get a MK5 R23 golf. FFS. I should have given up on him long ago. f**kin dream boats just go with the times. I should have known from the flatbrim, I just thought it was kids these days.

Stop being the fence sitter about Chequered. Aint nobody say HP in fact it says KW.

Seriously, my reply was too complicated for you?

No one said it was a Chequered customer, that was just Birds trolling.

I was simply stating the dude might have got mixed up as 210rwkw is not too far off the mark.

at no point you didn't think perhaps he was trolling ya I mean who really wants to mod a pulsar anyway?

he's a nice guy and i met him through pulsar meets... he spent big money on 90mm sleeves and pistons to go 2.2L... but has been talking about doing it for over 12 months. i even got quotes for him to do it.

i always stress to anyone thinking about modifying to consider goals/budget etc plus if you plan to keep the car. if you think your own car isnt worth fixing up... get a better one and swap the best bits over.

    • @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.
    • 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.
