Scrote City...Watch yourself and you car.


Recommended Posts

I'm planning on designing a special pocket in my pyjama's for my keys, bet the bastards won't think of looking there, haha

It's amazing how brazen they are these days, breaking in to steal keys from your house, kinda scary. My dog was the best investment I every made, keeps anyone from going round the back of my place.

Hmm I have considered sleeping with them inin my pocket or under my pillow or something along those lines of being really close, but I am scared that I will roll over in my sleep and push my alarm!!!! The last thing I need is to open the car in my sleep and make it easier for the theives!!! :)

I'd rather put up a fight than let them get my car, some things are worth fighting for. Have to keep a club handy.

Yeah I sleep with a two piece pool que under my bed for just such an occasion....

Are you sure that doesn't have more than one purpose? haha.

It would give them a nice surprise if they came looking for the keys in your room.

I got broken into today, only thing they stole was my old car stereo but im sure the guy had a good look around at everything else he wanted. Cops got a print and I told em who I rekoned it was but they say theres near nothing chance they can do anything.

I will need to bring my dog down i think, but i dont know how it will go during the day while im @ work. its a purebred border collie and needs to be ran VERY often else it gets really moody hehe

speaking of little bastards breaking into houses and stealing keys.... 4 houses were broken into in my street the other night and one car was stolen. some keys(for both the house and car) from one house are still missing so all the locks need to be changed.

i reckon some of the best security we;ve ever invested in is a little jack russell. they bark their heads off at anything foreign to the house. security mesh and steel glass on the windows will make your house a fortress.

anyway... if i caught someone trying to break into my car id grab my 6D Cell Maglight and beat the living fCuk out of them after they;d said a quick hi to mr diving knife. believe me..... im not joking!:)

Memphis if I was you I wouldnt be pointing that marker at anyone. Its illegal to point anything that resembles a gun at someone in WA. Let alone pump out a few rounds which could take out their eyes, which would in turn **** up paintballing for everyone. I've been hit by a normal marker at several ranges, one paintball managed to break the skin (hit my hand, didnt have any gloves on) and cause a serious welt to go with the bleeding, imagine coping one in the eye, you'd lose it. Save the marker for the field when its legal to inflict such pain on your friends :)

try a couple of surveilence cameras, i have 2 out the front of my place they even have infra-red so they can see in the dark!! they hook up to your computer and using specialised software, can be set to record on movement and/or set off an alarm through your computer speakers, best thing ive ever done for security, and quite cheap also, under $100 for each camera....

Cam.

Hmmm I am also with RAC..... Isnt the definition of stolen, taken without your permission????? So wouldnt that mean that regards of how they take it they have still stolen it??? Maybe it truly has been a blessing that I have always kept my keys with me at all times without even knowing that :D

    • @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.
