Hey guys, thanks for another nice night.

to keep everyone up to date on the nights events, my wing has now been removed, with the help of a few others, and i love the look.

The local constabulary payed us a visit, flexed their muscles using scare tactics, licence checks and hanging around us for a while, but no defects were issued and they left us in peace.

and DO NOT travel behind Niks car, esp if he decides to give it a boot, you'll be left with blurry vision, a smoke coated front bar, and stinging eyes.

i realy injoyed my self thank's guys for a great night. cant whait for next friday and am looking forward to getting to know you guy's better.

once he put the foot down all i saw was black smoke. ( where's the road!, where am I!) nik i think you should have your valve seals checked, normaly happens on engines that have done a few k's. only hapens at hish rev's, the oil sneaks past the valve stems and gets blown straight out the exauhst. sould coast to much to fix?

Nothing wrong with the engine, its just running a tad rich and has high flow cat, so not much restriction in the exhaust :(

if you guy's think it's all good then it's all good. it's just ive seen black smoke out of lots of cars before and this was more smoke than i have ever seen! the clowd was the size of his car (no bulls#@*)

not always the case nik :thumbsup: if it runs to rich it can fowl stuff up pretty quick eg spark plugs etc wont it ??? obviously a little rich wont matter though

Oh noes~! my spark plugs~! :(

We've had a lambda meter up the exhaust and it runs an air/fuel ratio of between 11.5 to 11.7:1 acorss the whole rev range its on boost, which is about as high as you want to take it when youre running 15psi+ (although some shops take it to 12:1).

The reason it pisses out so much smoke is because its a *very* free flowing exhaust.

whouldn't whant to race him, he'd blast of bast me taking the whole shot take it to the red line and shift (ejects top secret blinding smoke) and before i could work out which way is the finish line nik whould be past it. sounds cool to me!

last friday night i promised to give somone some initial-d dvd's for give me for forgeting your name (i suck at rembering name's) ive got them ready for you but my cluch in my line'r whent on sunday and iv'e got now way to get them to you! i could arange to get them posted to you just let me know what you would like me to do, thanks!

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
