Hey all

had a fun morning today

driving the ceff to get tuned- on the way back i hear a scraping sound on the highway back- thought it was a truck behind me and just kept cruisng

after the truck exited teh hwy a couple minutes later i realised its a bit closer to home than that :)

decided to pull over and find this beautyzaust.jpg

Seem the mofo shook it self loose on our lovely smooth sydney roads (ie parramate road sucks teh azz)

Had a good laugh trying to position back into place on the side of the road ;)

Just goes to show how fked our roads are (that is to say it had a full underbody check at the workshop)

hehehe It makes 129 db at 4grand -unfortunately- sounds like some sort of evil monster though- gotta love that tough deep SR sound -

Id love to bring her out for a meet/cruise whatever- if you guys are keen post up some ideas :) missed the last cruise coz of ahem engineering issues ;) but all good now

Lol it actually made less than that when i got it but somehow one of my silencers flew out during some *spirited* driving :) Its completely straight through up to the turbo -there is a cat on there but it came with a cat pipe for racing use also

Its all good though ;)

Anyone going to wakefield this weekend?

Yeah im agreeing with the condition of the roads in sydney, living just off parra rd near parra, its insane.... thank god the only cars (a corolla and a sonata) i have to drive here dont matter if they get hurt.

how's that bit of parra rd from homebush to auburn...nasty as...cant even stand driving on it in mum's accord

hey another "get cef together" sounds good, this time i should have the car on the road...let's meet up, still cant remember who i met last time, and now the cef might be gone soon...

Yeah icidentilly i was on the part from homebush to auburn- fkn shocking

exhaust wasnt damamged at all- just the part where it joins together got slightly scraped- its hellalot tough :)

This weekend at wakefield is initial drift round 3- would be awesome to see a few of you guys out there- me a couple mates are cruising up

    • 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.
    • 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.
