How did it go?

Also, as per his o2 sensor thread, it is currently being tuned with no air temp sensor in place (link ecu with a map)

What do you think of that Lithium?

Cos I'm a mad detective I am going to say spark issues. (He is chasing coils)

stalker much! lol. yer thats correct, coil pack was knackered. got some spitfires and all good. Hopefully find out in the next couple hours.

although there is a problem that wont be fixed this time so wont be a decent reading anyway id imagine

Yer i got my wires crossed. i got word that i needed a sensor from someone who spoke to someone who spoke to someone and the info finally got back to me. I thought they said o2 sensor. In fact was was needed was a temp sensor. and rushing to finish it up for this weekend i didnt have a time to do it with it being in tuning last night... So as soon as the weekend is over will install one and go again anyway

Well, that's obviously not ideal. Fortunately PV=nRT, so there is no need for the tune to be a complete throwaway at all. Datalog and keep an eye on IAT etc, if it HAS to go ahead a switched on (hurhurhur) tuner will at least be able to factor that in and make some compromise to ensure that if an IAT sensor gets introduced later then things don't go insane, while also providing a tune which while compromised is usable.

haha i have no idea what any of that is..... but will post results when it comes to hand.

And then after the weekend ill get it installed and go again.. especially for a $30 part.... My lack of knowledge and Chinese whispers got me confused or i would have already had it done

Haha yeah it seems I don't really know what I am talking about either, so don't listen to me!!! :)

Good luck with the tuning, I hope it goes as well as can be expected! Should be able to still get a pretty good performance out of it, even if short on it's potential!

Having problems with fuel. Fuel pump isnt drawing enough to make it work to capacity.

Plus a couple other minor issues.

So for the sake of the weekend its tuned to 16.5psi and 335kws

So.weekend on, but car not sorted. Gee owning cars are fun

Thanks guys. A bunch of little things to tidy up but guess that what happens when rush to finish up.

Theres a vaccum or boost leak somewhere so laggy. But good enough to have some fun on the weekend

Thanks mate

Unsure its an elimination thing not a timed thing.... But with it not running properly and boost coming on so late all i was doing was frying the slicks for the most part.

But it took care of a heap of the V8 boys. Cant wait to get it running well...

I did see that was coming up, ill give this one a miss till its sorted, but will give that a crack asap!

    • Yeah good point, it won't flash on indicator that way, so plan B, just another wire to run from under the dash which makes it a bigger job 30 to indicator + globe side 86 tapped into 12v input to flasher relay under the dash (has 12v when indicators on, nothing when no indicators) 87a to headlight parker + 87 to original indicator + chassis side 85 to chassis/earth Now it will flash with indicators and be solid on with parkers
    • FWIW, that's the only colour I'd buy it in
    • I am having issues I believe with the throttle body. The butterflies only open about 1mm on the bench at full throttle. Is this what is supposed to happen? does it use the motor for the rest? I am able to manually open them up the hole way but it sounds like it is on gears.
    • Currently at 380rwkw with 2860 -5's & b cams on e85, trying to make it have a bit more torque/usable power down low.    Ive googled the v cams and most sites say discontinued, is there anywhere you can still get them?
    • Most hardlines are available new still. But unless they're rusted to the point of needing replacement you can just zinc or cadmium plate them to keep them going for decades to come. Regarding the turbo drains it really depends. Braided lines might be better if it's a straighter path than OEM but I would not assume braided teflon lines will never leak. Teflon is a very durable material but you can still abrade, erode, or otherwise compromise its integrity. The return hoses on the bright side are not that hard to access relative to a full turbo removal so if things go wrong you can always put it back to stock. You can very easily drive yourself insane analyzing every little change, or maybe that's just me.
