50km/hr is a hard one even due to accuracies of speedos too.. my speed is out about 10km/hr most of the time, and I just have to guess. But spend $100's getting it fixed and calibrated? just to prove some arbitary limit that somebody has said that makes something safe?

Most of you will probably find out your speedos are within about 10%.. which makes the line between 55 and 50 so tiny, even when you are obeying it properly.

nice rant cyrus!!!!

The problem is guys it is all about money (as we all know) if it wasn't there would be a s*&t load more red light cameras and RBT's. It is easier and cheaper to set up a nice little van on the side of the road and leave it rather then set up a RBT near pubs. better yet if they honestly wanted to save lives why not have a cop wait outside the pub before people get in their cars and offer a RBT with no risk of fine (as long as if they are over the limit they don't get in their car). But no that would lose to much money.

Here is an observation for you, last year I was pulled over twice for an RBT (no issue with that as I totally agree with RBT),but that was only twice out of 365 days of driving and yet I saw at least one speed camera a week, now the unfortunate thing is I don't know one person that has a serious speed related accident but I have lost a couple of friends due to drink drivers. I would love to know the real stats on fatalaties but as far as my personal experience DD is a lot worse then speeding so why not put more money there.

      TPS voltage RB25DET

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's not really a calibration issue, if the voltage is really at 2V. If the voltage is 2V, then that's what the TPS is putting out, and the Haltech is seeing that and 2V is about 40% open (you know, between 0.45v being closed and something close to 4.5V being fully open). So, that would suggest that the TPS is maladjusted, on crooked, something something something. Or a wire problem.

      TPS voltage RB25DET

      Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ?

      Cas issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution? I also found this: 305817248-AEM-Undocumented-Settings-v1-2.pdf
