As most of you know, Snowman & Scotsman (with possibly other SAU members entering) are taking on the big guns in this years Dutton Rally of Victoria, to be held 28-31 July - Click HERE for further details

Well as the Dutton Rally is fast approaching and seeing as its such a big event, we started thinking accommodation may be hard to find so..... Min and I have booked a cabin at a caravan park across the road from where the boys will be staying.

This is going to be one hell of a weekend, lots of cars, lots of racing, lots of the infamous SAU (I mean Taco Bills) margharitas. So, if anyone else is planning to come to Shepparton for a great racing/social environment and of course to show your support, accommodation details are below:

Where: Victoria Lake Holiday Park, 536 Wyndham Street, Shepparton

Phone: 5821-5431

When: 28/29 & 30 July

Our cabin is a Deluxe cabin and has 1 queen, 1 double & 1 single and works out to be about $40/night. So there are a few extra beds in with us if anyone’s interested let me know.

Cabin is self contained and has:

Shower/Toilet, TV/VCR, Aircon/Heating, Fridge, Oven/Hotplates, Microwave, Toaster, Kettle etc...

BYO Linen - sheets/doona/pillow/towels

It's cheap and quiet accommodation on a lake - what more could you ask for!!

:cheers:

My advice is for anyone wanting to bother coming to this is to be there for the Friday. Friday is the best day for spectating. Saturday is basically just Winton and with 3 cars on at once isn't exciting, and Sunday is back in Melbourne. But the Friday has all the stuff at DECA and at the Shep Airport - which is the coolest stuff to watch.

I heard Joel's mum wouldn't let him go because he hadn't finished the DECA photos.

Uh huh. That's what I heard. Just saying is all :rofl:

Shh james that was secret, now the whole world knows :)

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
