Then send its mum to town, 2bar boost.

I think the old gt3076 will need an upgrade first. Once I've got these things sorted will get it on the corn juice and send it to make a decent number. 

Made a heap of progress today and got the car running again. Nz wiring trigger kit was easy to fit and after a few trial and error with settings got it fired up, trigger scope is stable and revs cleanly. Fitted a new aeroflow fuel reg too so pressure is at 45psi base now.

Got the realdash app working with the ecu, currently just setup off the tuning port but have a CAN to USB adapter so I can display some more stuff and switch boost by CAN. 

Found a wheel bearing had packed it in so now waiting for that to arrive before back to Dyno and roady Friday atm.

Car is now registered and done some small drives, it is really loud inside the car but quiet outside. Drives very nicely and no weird noises, stereo is good with Bluetooth music and realdash app going. 

Fixed everything and went back to the Dyno. Trigger kit fixed alot of things but Intercooler is not happy after a few back to back pulls with 60-70 degrees seen and pulling boost & timing but happy with results for doing everything myself. Will go e85 after rockynats and give it 25psi and extra timing.

Rockynats is done..... 

Car went well all weekend. Did 1/8th mile racing and got hosed by a lotus as absolutely no traction. Made 260kw at the Dyno and around 100kms of street driving and cruising. Confused many people what it was.  Pretty good event for the first one, even though it rained all today will definitely enter the next one.

Decided late last week I wanted to go to japnats at QR, couldn't go all that way and not drive the event so took the 370. Had a heap of fun but the automatic isn't really up for circuit duties.

Got the sil80 out for round 2 of the local sprints, put the Nankang Ar1 back on and sorted a wheel alignment. Car went pretty well bar the cooler pipe coming off the DBW throttle body, alternator playing up when hot and getting use to it again as only been 4 years since I last raced it. Finished 6th outright and 2nd in class with a 48.64 some very quick cars & drivers out there. Missing my fixed back seat and harness like the race car.........

Plan to get a throttle body to vband/clamp thing on and mod cooler pipe, corner weight, LS alternator conversion and re-align it. Cars got plenty of power so no point going e85 yet. It's around 4 weeks until next event.

Will get the gopro and film next event as was in a rush to get ready and forgot it

In preparation for next weekends sprints bought an aeroflow dbw adapter and Intercooler clamp kit

Was going to modify my pipe but wasn't going to work and look right so made a new one and it's a lot better than the original, a mate helped me out with advice on tig settings so welds are looking better.

So with that done had to go test with a quick run up the highway. Before heading off I'd setup flat shift and boost by gear. It all works as intended and it's weird not lifting going up the gears. So will go through and setup the downshift blip too. 

Spent this afternoon going over the car with a bolt & fluid check, rebled brakes & clutch and made a camera mount for the rear pillar bar. Just need to get the advans fitted and put in fresh fuel.

Stock 25 box, use ignition retard and throttle to reduce torque and Timer once clutch is disengaged. Testing the downshift blib tomorrow. 

For an older ecu the g4+ are great. Don't know if it will help lap times yet.

How do you plan on getting down shift to work? How will the ecu know you are shifting down? I suppose you could have a logic set-up with revs over a certain amount and clutch in to expect a down shift. Be interested to hear how you go.

Easy with a sequential as the direction of lever means up or down, not the case with h pattern

Using a virtual aux with tp, clutch switch and rpm as logics.

Had a little bit of success with down shift blip. Ended up using clutch and brake switches with AP% as logics. Got it to do 10% TP blip while I get it sorted. Sounds cool coming down the gears from speed.

What's AP%?

Aux percentage? which is comprised of clutch, tps, and rpm as you said above? 

Accelerator pedal, link ecu you can create virtual auxiliary outputs using a combination of auxiliary inputs/outputs. Got to be on the brake and clutch, be less than 10% AP for it to recognise a down shift condition. The only way I could come up with to recognise downshift with out a sequential box with gear position switch. Got an RPM limit to avoid over rev too. 

Probably not worth any time out on the track but have a the ecu and time to learn the features.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
