yeah the extra turbo give you instant hero status... you have to act tuff when you've got it...

haha i wasn't there so i don't know who the heroes were but i only attend these things for a nice leisurely cruise with people with similar passions. if i want to see people showing off i'd go on an ns.com cruise :P

You hoons you. :P

Agreed, the last thing these wagon cruises need is for some cowboy to spoil it for everyone. Up for a relaxing cruise too. Pretty keen on easter long weekend sometime. Should (fingers crossed) have the car back from the panel shop by then.

I'll admit I was a bit stupid on the last cruise, and I didn't have any intention of upsetting anyone. I can ensure it wont happen again.

I think I was a little too excied to have my stagea back after 4 months.

My apologies.

I'm up for a relaxing smooth cruise this time around.

I had been spoken to about the "hero" that was on the last cruise..... Decided with those that I spoke to about it that we wouldn't bring it up unless others did....

I agree just cos you've got a 2nd friend under your bonnet means you need to be a hero. Ensuring it wont happen again is saying something but putting it into practice will be something else. You'll have to get cruise meet details to appear anyway and what people that organise cruises want these tools their....

/end rant

alright,alright.we're way off topic atm.when are we doing this adam?everyone seems quite keen,which is great.im sure it will be another great day.brekky and a drive is a good idea.whats everyone thinking?

I dont care what we do i just wanna criuse. Hopefully we get the rudd money i want my bodykit on im sick of the crack in the front bar.

Lets hope for a nice day this time round.

I was thinking the other day of a cruise and maybe a bbq lunch at belair national park afterwards bring a footy and cricket set along and have a bit of kick or hit. Then Those of us with the familys can bring the kids along and the wont get bored easily

Bring on the cruise though watherver we do

alright,alright.we're way off topic atm.when are we doing this adam?everyone seems quite keen,which is great.im sure it will be another great day.brekky and a drive is a good idea.whats everyone thinking?

brekky and a drive genius... pure genius rod... hehe... any how with the way the weather is getting mite be a good idea for it to happen soonish while where still have some summer like days... don't wan't another rain out cruise... not that it wasn't fun...

i duno where we could go for breky... would people like a semi sit down chill n talk shit kinda thing (parade at like bravos,mantos cost would be probly $15 plus a coffee... or maccas :D

porposed date sunday 19th of this month... ?

who does it/doestn suit

ive got no idea where were guna go yet n id like to stear clear of the hills we adventured last time so we dont 'drag race' lol.

wat about going down to victa?

    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
    • I don't think it's a good buy, the trend looks bad     lol.
