Good to see employers do the right thing when left to their own devices.

As opposed to the unions let's stick it to the employer! YEAH! Promote everyone yeah! Oh wait... How'd that go for holden? Ford? Mistubishi?.. Alcoa?

Quite the trend there...

BOOM *mic drop*

Get car back on Friday

Fark yeah, engine bleeds ok, head not lifting now. Farken sweet.

Torque converter good, best mod ever

Exhaust sounding nice, really good move there too

Car driving nice, even fixed fuel tank lid

Day off, maybe take a trip through the hills

$310 tow home

You mean leveraged like with loans?

Straight cash brah.

How will/did you manage to accomplish this?

Say you worked at 20 to 30. 10 years.

You would have to be on an average salary of $220k p.a

So about $70k in tax, and say $50k in spending a year.

Would leave $100k in savings over 10 years

Maybe someone put you on a Voodoo doll

need more info. what happened?

inspected a nissan cedric for someone interstate the other week. its got issues, but cheap. he's almost sold on importing a RB25DET AWD model, but isnt sure about letting this cheap one pass by (because its such a great example, not). Now he wants to express post me his OBD2 scan tool so I can see what the engine light issue is.

do i:

talk some sense into him and say get the car inspected by mechanic/workshop and use their scan tool.

or

offer to do what he asks, charging money to do it.

need more info. what happened?

Nothing happened, it blew while I was overtaking a car in an overtaking lane at 110kmh in 4th gear.

The only reason I built the RB is cause, well, the original one exploded and I had free labor and my options were forged RB, or replacement standard engine, both pretty much for $0.

Plus there was a stroker kit for sale for near nothing.

It appears however that no-one can actually build this engine, so, yeah... building something so it'd be more reliable than a 15-20 year old engine... lol was not.

    • @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.
