It was good to see everyone out doing some quick times.

I didnt feeling like carrying my camera around all day so i didnt get many photos, but it seemed like every time i went to get something out of my car there was another broken WRX parked next to it, so heres a few pics of WRXs.

Yeah Adrian that's the thing though, at Winton after I came in to tighten up the clamp, the car was fine the rest of the day.. Since then Ive been to Calder and Phillip Island, with no such problem whatsoever.... First flying lap yesterday, BANG, it comes off, and did so for the other 4 outings on the track..... So yeah you could say I was fed up....

Problem will be fixed with all the clamps replaced with decent thick ones, not the crap original ones.... Seems like it won't hold full boost in 4th gear.....

Can't wait for the next track day!!!!!

Hey Tom what happened to those few REX's they are a total mess, hope noone was hurt....

That one rolled at turn 1 on 1 of the last super sprints.

I saw some pics the guy that was trying to sell for $25 for A4 size and damn i need some new springs and rear end suspension work, the rear end was loading up on 1 side and frying the tyres out of each corner exit.

Told you those photos of you told the story why you cant get thru/out of corners without torching those poor tyres. LOL and you wanted to try the spare rims with semis:)

Yep I saw 1 of becs pics coming out of turn 1 and there is 1 of chris's car at he same corner and angle of photo and it says alot about how bad my current suspension setup is!!!!

Drew (jorg) - really nice to meet you as well. And a huge Kudos to your Mrs for giving it a go as well.

Can you tell us about your car? Pretty stock still?

The Mrs gave it a punt...awesome:thumbsup:

I thought i was being clever getting there at 8am but still only just managed to get a bay:( I think next time it may pay to get there 30 mins earlier so that we can all stay in a huddle...didnt really get a chance to go down near Denham and co:(

Ok - just going through the results for the club championship and a special mention has to go to Wayne for breaking the club record with 18 timed laps (not including warm-up / cool down or the practise session laps). Previous best was 15 laps.

Certainly beats Jacks 1 timed lap.

Wayne was parked next to me in pit row and he went out every session he could, and refilled his tank 2 times during the day :D

I was using 1/4 tank per session, not sure if that is normal? I will install my safc for the next round. Also, here is a pic for you Denham:

    • @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.
