Rebuilt my PC. Pulled it apart, cleaned everything and put it back together. Also put a new CPU cooler in and Overclocked the FK out of it. Result: what feels like a brand new PC! (It's 4 years old)

When I get back can you help me OC my pc

got myself an i7 3770k

Yeah no worries Dan. It's pretty simple. Did you get a decent cooler for it?

That will have to be the first thing I do when I get back. Right now it's just running a stock cooler.

My GPU is a HD7950 I believe, might even purchase another one depending on how much money I save while over here.

An SSD is probably on the cards as well.

This is currently the best value cooler on the market and is ranked 3rd for air coolers. It is the only one worth buying unless you want to water cool your PC. If you have not got an ssd I do highly suggest one. Is the 7950 a 3gb card? If so that is still overkill. I run bf4 on ulta with my old gtx570.

Happy belated Bithday Shell!

I never knew why shell reduces the content blend in winter. It s because its so hard to start the car when you're at 85%. So when to the servo bought a gallon of 98 o dilute the E85. It started on the first go this morning with ice all over

I'm sure some of you guys have heard of Nigel Petrie and or seen his drift Hilux. Very well put together doco showing his passion and his commitment to what he loves. Great stuff!

Wow! Awesome Watch.

If that doesn't inspire anyone to turn a spanner then nothing will.

(got the day off today) :D

Gonna turn me a spanner.

I'm sure many of us would love to achieve that moment where no screw or bolt is to much for the mechanical mind ! What he has is a chronic passion - beautiful thing to see.

    • @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.
