Well, Majanal's getting us organised for 19/12, but there is also a half day on 21/11. Come along and make sure you're not getting rusty.

I saw on the other thread that Roy was interested, anyone else coming along? If so, I'll get in touch with Motoconcepts.

It also looks like Steve from Disc Brakes Aus will be along, so it's a great chance to nag someone about all your brake questions:uh-huh:

Yeh for sure ill be there, fingers crossed its a cool day like today.

Need new tyres, getting Dunlop Formula Rs, pricey but everyone says they are the tyre to have.

I can get some AZENIS for $700 less (less than $1000), so i suppose the question is how much better are the Dunlops over AZENIS, and AZENIS over normal road tyres.

Hey Guys,

Just spoke to Tracey from motoconcepts regarding prices for the 19th of Dec. and I asked about how many she had booked for this day that Duncan is organising.

She ONLY has 6 cars booked at this stage.

This means that it is a really good oportunity to get along and have a day where there isn't much traffic.

This is good for young and old... I mean newbies and experienced guys.

Newbies can learn the track without constantly having to look in the rear view mirror to let faster cars past and the experienced guys can get out and have a blat with out having to flash lights at inexperienced drivers and commondoor's. Or, do as I shall be doing and get some serious sideways happening before the new set of treads goes on.

Speaking of treads, I have run azeins and will be at the track on thursday, we can chat about tyres as Duncan said.

Gotta go,

See you all thursday.

Dan.

yup i am in and a m8 witha hyundai wrx as well

should be a good laugh bloody hyundai's

i bring the camera and

i can feel some drift comming on

got the taste for it just can wait for it

i can feel some drift comming on

sing it boys

and after the track day

i can feel some beer comming on

yea baby

:Oops: Yes, that is next Thur, 21 Nov (not 21/12!)

That makes:

1. Duncan

2. Kelly

3. Roy

4. Majanal

5. Fatz

6. Fatz's mate (!)

I'll get in touch with motoconcepts tomorrow.

I spoke to Dave this morning, and we are book for Thurs.

He did say he was only expecting about 20 cars all up, which means

1) Very little traffic, so it will be a great chance for first timers to get out there without idiots around you

2) Motoconcepts are unlikely to put on as many days unless numbers are up. It would be a shame to lose the best opportunity we have to make the most of our cars' performance.

If you've been considering a track day, this would be a great opportunity to goet out there.

Welcome, FLIP.

We'll be on the track from 1pm-5pm, you'll need to be there from around 12.30 to get organised, briefed, car emptied etc.

There's archived info on here (do a search) for what you need, but the quick summary is:

Long clothing (neck to ankle)

Full face helmet

current license (i think)

Roadworthy car (everything secured, empty cabin)

Let us know if its your first time at the track, we can help out with someone to how you around the place.

I think we'll be OK as far as notifying them, I booked for 6 this morning, but they're only expecting about 20 cars in a 40 capacity so we should be fine.

Dino, can we get a summary of trackday requirements and have it as a sticky in this forum?

    • @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.
