I drove 1500km to get to the dyno and the car had developed a high idle after about 1200km of driving that day. Prior to that it was 1100 cold, 850-900 once warm. But when I got down to be tuned it was 1100 all the time. Not lumpy, just a smooth 1100. I couldn't be 100% that it was checked or it was assumed to be correct.

Whatever the case may be, I'm back in the middle of nowhere with little in the way of options other than to drive back down there or truck it. Not like I can just drop it off at a workshop for the day. Either that or fly someone here to look it over.

Surely there is someone there local that can help you find a vacuum leak, hoses, gaskets especially the inlet manifold gasket maybe try pressurising it through your intercooler with the car off see if you can hear leaks or try http://www.sau.com.au/forums/index.php?/topic/110431-Diy-Aac-Valve-Cleaning-&-Idle-Reset.

And please tell me you didn't drive your car for that distance on the power fc base map

No it wasn't base map, it had been tuned a year ago and had been adjusted via the hand controller using my wideband recently.

Finding a vac leak isn't an issue, having it re-tuned is. I traveled halfway across the country and may well have to do it again.

Standard cas. He said it would only take 7 degrees and was expecting 12 or more. Power does seem low for the turbo but torque seems to be ok. Car made 263rwkw and 750nm of torque. Mainline dyno.

I'll have to pull the dump off and check that out Tao. If that's the case, I will drag out the die grinder and open it up a little and make sure it's all nice and smooth.

Thats about right, we have had a few on pump not able to crack 270, same thing timing limited. It works mint on E85 but unless you have a killer exhaust manifold and cooler it will struggle.

Might be time for an exhaust manifold and bigger exhaust then if that's the case.

Thanks for your input.

Tap a fitting into ex manifold and measure the pressure, i bet its crazy high

Have purchased datalogit, just going to source some knock detection gear and see what is what I guess. I'm going to throw some more fuel in at wot, even if it is "rich", I'll feel better for it. And the amount of time is spend in that region it won't hurt my economy much.

Lol I have no doubt you'd be right there

For reference I have an Hypergear SS2, standard manifold opened up and port matched, bell mouth dump opened up and port matched as close as possible, 200cell cat and 2 straight through mufflers in 3 inch piping and I get 0.5psi back pressure max. I pulled heaps of metal out of the bell mouth entry. Well worth a look at yours to rule that out.

Cheers. Yeah when I get some time I'll pull everything off and whip out the die grinder. Exhaust only has a mid muffler and rear cannon. Was considering removing the mid muffler or replacing it with something that is documented to flow more than I need. I'm willing to got 3.5 inch cat back if that's what it takes. I'm not worried about noise, as long as it doesn't drone

We're not talking about back pressure in the exhaust pipe. We're talking in the MANIFOLD. On a street car you will find it will be up to double the boost pressure.

I realised after posting that's what Trent would have meant, I saw the comments about the dump pipe and misunderstood.

Still have an issue with having to hold the throttle open on cold start for it not to die, I'm thinking this may be an iacv adjustment that'll fix that

That's pretty poor form from a tuner.

Could also be mixture related, once you get a wideband on, it should provide you with more insight on what's going on.

Close to stoich or stoich on a cold motor, will stall, too rich on a cold motor will stall.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
