Thanks for joinign SAU and providing us with the info from the horses mouth.

Paul Beck lent me the P.C.2 dvd and then said, "Oh, and it's at Eastern Creek this year".

I near passed out with excitement. I am THERE!!! Perhaps email [email protected] about running a Powercruise banner on this site. HUGE exposure!

$200 for a 3 car garage, Andrew. It's on the entry form. Would be happy to go half-eachies if you wanna book today?

I am speaking to someone with a trader stand at lunch today to see if I can't score a better rate on entry. (Left it too late and missed out on the $100.00 for the 4 days. It's now $160 but what they hey :)

Mate, I just rang Rob from Powercruise, there aren't any pit garages left. They were all snapped up real quick apparently and there's a wait list with 4 people on it anyway.

I'll try to go along to take some photos and do a write-up for the newsletter.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
