bj,

Here is my new car.

Cheers

My GTR

looks good mate.

hope the weather imporves for traction tomorrow or it might be a little interesting for half the field :P

Liquid horsepower YEAH

Was a good day from what I saw. I only stayed til lunch but at that stage the black evo was in front. Who won it in the end?

I was in a nismo jacket if anyone saw me. Next time you see me, say hello :O

Saw you and the car :)

Didn't get a chance to say howdy as i was kinda sidetracked.

Hope all the boys that went in it (LUCKY BUGGERS) had a good day and tahnks for putting on abit of a show.

Forgot the mention that i was proud of the "Skyline" entries there.

Bart, loved seeing you come off the last couple of corners mate, glad you put that suspension to good use.

Stuart, LOVED the 7000RPM launch's off the start line.

Omar, you have a FulliSik (brand of his exhaust so im told :) ) sounding skyline mate and good to see your not affraid to throw it around.

I wont comment on Choppings car as im not really a fan <_<

Was great to see a large variety of cars out there having a go.

Really bummed that i didn't get in on the action myself but if i can get a cage and a few other little bits a peices at a good price then maybe we can look at a TEAM thing for the next one or Collinsvale???

Cheers B

yeah the GTR launch off the line was awesome :)

The black 31 sounded pretty damn tough and he was gunning it from what I saw. What mods did that have?

Still don't know who won? A mate of mine, Andrew Robinson, was driving the Golf GTI and came 4th outright I think. That thing goes pretty hard and he is a good driver. I think he mentioned he was within 4 tenths of the gtr. pretty good effort.

So who won?

On my final and fastest run I actually launched at 8000! the surface wasn't that grippy so I didn't think it would hurt anything too much.

Not having run there before, I thought the course was suprisingly tight. Conrats to Leigh in the Evo.

    • @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.
