I want one, I want one, I want one, I want one, I want one, I want one, I want one, I want one, I want one, I want one, I want one, I want one!!!!

NEED A Splitter and a mad wing :(

I wish I had mad fab skillz...

hahah the cars name is sooty. now its sooty the transformer, 'dattotron'

just a slapped togther pic, still got things to do on the front end, going to put a new water pump and belt idler/tensioner etc on it and a few other odds and ends. still got brake ducting, crabon plates and mesh to go back in her. Roll cage (woolls old Bond cage) and few other rear suspension bits sitting the in workshop waiting to go on. just wanted to get a pic of the ol beast as i'm away next week so wont get a chance to fit it up properly for a little while. still got lots to do, but i'm getting there. hoping to run at every hill climb & supersprint next year. :banana:

so i been playing around trying to get my engine bay lookn better thought id add some pics of wen i brought it and wat it looks like now engineold1.jpg

Engine bay looks pretty mint, did you paint the throttle body black??

i really dont know who he got so much dirt mud and wat not in the engine bay

also waiting for the vipec 2 come from NZ so next week should be a good1 :D

cheers Brad. looking forward to giving it a run.

Yeah funzy, thats next. I'd like to fit a Capel motorsports diffuser, but atm I'm just going to flatten it out under the ass from the diff back, get a decent angle and smooth up the airflow a little. thats going to happen in the next couple of weeks. the budget datto is starting to take shape. :cheers:

how much to make me one to suit the stagea?

probably only needs to be a little longer, i have a flange near the diff too

quick pics

looks like a pirate! pirate.gif

if you get some bits sorted i can nock you up a set when you come try these wheels on.

phew , i thought it looked horrible in the first pic , looks much better in them! , how far under the car does the front diffuser go?

its 700mm deep, so back to the swaybar. 5 inches past the bar at the front, 4 inches at the sides

been tinkering on my car getting it ready fo a tune.

one thing thats been bugging me was how untidy all the wiring looked on top of the throttle boddies, so i made up a carbon cover for it

also put some mesh in my headlight duct.

only a few small jobs and its good to go.

That cover looks the goods man. Did you just make a flat piece of carbon then cut to suit?

Well I've almost got everythimg bolted on my engine ready to drop it in hopefully next weekend. Spent today modifying the external oil drain as it didn't clear the rear dump pipe so had to change the bottom 45degree fittings to 2 90degree ones and now it's sweet. Put the last few things back in the engine bay and got that tidy ready for the engine. Now all thats left is finish the turbo oil/water lines, oil drains, set up the timing, put the clutch on and drop it in. Then comes the fun part of connecting everything......

    • 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.
