Thanks for sorting it out Duncan!

I think the community definitely still has value but sometimes things like that just go too far.

Hopefully the guy hangs around and shares his build with us. It's not everyone's cup of tea but there are people out there who would enjoy what his doing.

Bought a chemistry set from China, to do some food experiments.

Anyway, because im not into amphetamines and such, i didnt realize its the kind of thing they use to make it.

The police told me they do.

When they Knocked on my door this morning and asked what its for.

:O

I dont want do have anything to do with that sht.

Now they will use it for a display set for education purposes.

I investigated the legality of alcohol distillation and Nicotine for E cigarettes, but not the glassware.

I just didnt realize or think it through, i dont know if its my fault or not. But i feel stupid.

Oh well sht happens. :blush:

Its funny, but i didnt really look at their ID, you know in a bit of shock and all that.

I just found out it wasnt the drug squad, who was it then? interesting...........

But i know its legit otherwise they wouldnt know i had it.

Maybe people are keeping an eye on me, i know too much about how to make the wrong things cos my dad was a rocket scientist.

Cool....

I actually wanted to try and capture the aromas from freshly ground coffee, by freezing everything, including the glassware, grind the coffee, put it in the first chamber by itself or with ice water, then gradually bring it up to 25-30c, distill it through a Vigreaux column to concentrate it, and try to condense the aromas again possibly id have to use Nitrogen to get cold enough.

The elusive essence of coffee, but it has to be stored cryogenically.

Then theres chocolate, i wonder if you could get an aroma thats like the taste of chocolate, not the usual smell you get.

Or an essence of full on choc flavour to add to things.

And all the other things, just use your imagination, what would be awesome?, try and make it.

Haha I don't think the popo are stalking you on SAU :P

Everything that comes from overseas is marked and tagged. Suspicious and all that get headed up to the Police. It was probably the Feds just doing their Wednesday postal investigation run. You'll be fine! Just don't buy another one haha

edit: 1 member, 1 guest. FEDS ARE HERE! :P

Been doing some research, it seems that drug makers use jam jars and garbage bin lids etc to make drugs.

Not lab glassware. I feel ripped off.

Did some inquiring today and it seems these guys are mystery men. :ph34r: Not with the normal police, i dont know who they are.

WTF? :O

Anyway with some luck ill get it back and make incredible real deal coffee ice cream.

I think id have a batch perfected before summer comes around.

People like to kill my dreams........ :(

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
