    @shrike I've copied over timing and fuel tables from a supercharged Map so its able to read positive pressure and put in the specs for injectors and other settings into the ADX. Hence it runs OK it doesn't knock misfire or anything. I've only driven it fairly gently so far to get it up to temp and into closed loop to check for oil leaks etc....... and maybe to make a few dose sounds for motivational purposes only.

    Turned to High Performance Academy for some real information on tuning. The Facebook group that has been useful up till this point has now turned to shit posts about my spark plug leads not been correct or how my wastegate won't work etc. Thanks oldschool.co.nz for hosting this project without the haters. Anyway Time for some data acquisition and fixing annoying things like rattles.
  3. Muncie
    Have driven this around for about an hour few rattles from exhaust needs lots more mounts who knew 3.5" exhausts were really heavy, go figure.... easy fix though it's quiet enough wastegate has a bark to it. Appears PCV system will need an upgrade its struggling a bit few more oil leaks than normal. Catch can incoming. 2000rpm idle is a bit annoying either I have a vacuum leak or a dead IAC valve, trying a new IAC as current isn't right it's gm but never has been 100% so bought the expensive commodore specific one. If it's a vacuum leak that might be trickier. All in all no check engine lights gets up and boogies seems pretty happy has lightest wastegate spring I have so should be about 4psi. Time to figure out wideband and do road tuning once the niggles are done. Think the stock bumper is perfect BTW.

    Oh yeah it goes hard! Got a go pro vid of first drive will edit get that up.

    Finished up the intercooler pipes managed to make the passengers side one piece really happy with how it turned out. Everything done by eye only welded one pipe on backwards.

    Had some plumbing to do under car first one was hooking back up exhaust. Which is done not 100% happy but fully functional though I migged it as currently it's one piece front to back was to hard to do with tig. Will order a few more v bands and a flexi make it 3 pieces.

    Epic day on this! It's back together finally just fettling now it's a running driving car. Front bumper back on kind of a sleeper kind of isn't.

    Has more curve thicker material and open at back instead of a big sheet metal box. Vw appears to be designed to deflect holden is designed to collapse in on itself. Heaven forbid I look at an XR6 turbo one I bet it would bolt straight on my commodore

    @Roman I ended up basically done then decided to tuck them in closer as they would have stuck out bottom of bumper. passengers still to do but way easier as im coming up through inner guard. Drivers took about 3 hours. Good drop saw makes light work of nice square cuts that you can just fizz together. Not many silicone joiners in it either. Exhaust...... today just wasn't feeling up for that challenge my welding was shit today.

    To finish up the intercooler pipework I need to cut the inner guard theres no where else to bring it through nicely. There is already 3 large factory holes so will just cut between those will leave a good size opening. Makes for a piss easy path for pipe.

    Exhaust chopped back to just behind the trans pipe off turbo has had a few more kinks put in it to worm down past steering rack and is in a good spot to build off now. Going to focus on Exhaust hooking that all back up before passengers side intercooler pipe as its a bit loud and I'm waiting on some silicone parts to finish intercooler stuff.

    Fitted a Narrow band o2 sensor to keep the ecu happy and see if once up to temp it would trim back the A/F ratio on its own. Short answer was yes it will but not far enough, so pulled more fuel from tune and it now idles at 14.7:1 Close enough. Cold start tables are so far off its not funny its so rich it struggles to run pulled more fuel there slightly better. Once it kicks over it runs mint and is pretty snappy. Have had it up to temp and been for a quick drive turbo is loud and spins up at about 2400rpm.
  13. Muncie
    Pic Dump time. Drivers side intercooler pipework done check bumper fits and looks good some trimming needed but should only need to be trimmed on bottom lip and will have a good amount of VL INTERCOOLER stick out.
  14. Muncie
    Cheers appreciate a straight up answer. Just trying to create one less problem for the certifier and myself. The less mucking around the better thought I may have found a work around.

    Somehow found some room to sneak 3 inch tubing between radiator subframe and chassis rail. Snug fit but wiggles in piece of cake if I move the power steering cooler lines 30 mm to passengers side this doesn't really cause any issues but they could be moved completely with some flexible hose, so will do that at a later date. Passengers side is easy not much in way I could even possibly sneak inside chassis rail like this.

    T5s break fairly easy.

    Going back to this cock-up where I cut my bumper support bar to fit an intercooler. if I can't fit the cooler behind the stock one could I fit a bar from another car that accommodates an Intercooler? Just found one from my 06 vw golf In my roof that is a very close fit if I transferred the flanges over would that be acceptable? If not I'll probably look at cutting back the intercooler to fit under the stock bar.

    Another go at the fueling realised had base pressure wrong when I calculated it.... Re ran the calculation made very little difference to ms/g like 01ms so fudged it bumped it down 5ms. While i was In there I toggled off the EGR and set it run off a single narrowband sensor which I think I'll re fit next to the wideband as it's only 12 months old and car runs nice on these. Started up no longer stinks of fuel and started much easier. Now to let the car get up to temp and let the trims sort the rest out think im in ball park now. Also figured out a definition file glitch which was stopping me reading data on Tunerpro could flash in fine but information coming in was wildly inaccurate 28000rpm 1200c on inlet air temp. Pft

    Kind of win/lose situation fitting the crossover pipe low in engine bay it allows heat to piss off under car, but it's complicated the intercooler pipes. Have heard horror overheating stories from most that run them higher so happy with the compromise. Made up a stainless lower radiator pipe today with intention to put some fittings In to water cool the turbo. Its quite close to the crossover pipe so should help it survive down there. As for the intercooler pipes I think if I squeeze pipe oval may squeeze under headlights. Could be wrong will see.

    Did some more stuff on this today got it to a point it it runs and drives ok few gremlins to chase is still horrendously rich and idles like a sprint car. I've got a 1500rpm idle so could be an IAC valve fault (likely) It shot its plunger across garage, or a vacuum leak. Intercooler pipework no easy route unless I cut holes in Bodywork then it's piss easy but battery has to go elsewhere. Exhaust into rest of system 2-3 bends and a v band shouldn't be too hard 89mm V bands are ridiculously huge how to not warp that..... Some more wiring and a bit of a road tuning session should be a happening thing. Jeeze it sounds like a fighter jet though very happy turbo takes about 30sec to wind down when you turn it off.

    There's no videos of that GWM engine running at least so your still 6 up on them. Just an Asian exec making finger guns at a car show. If you could make a parody that would be excellent and end it with a running engine in an imp.
  22. Muncie
    Agree on reinventing wheel a bit....I may go with 2 strain gauges one either engine mount and plug it in to the spare channel on my ECU see if it gives any promising data or just noise. Fairly cheap to do if it's garbage I'll spend money elsewhere.
  23. Muncie
    Sounds like a Cummins
  24. Muncie
    Yeah the airflow meter is at throttle body so no dramas there. Turbos just hanging out blowing leaves off driveway at moment.

    Couldn't wait changed an old map I used at drag day then tweaked the injector flowrate using an online calculator. Measured in Ms/gram very confusing for me.... Flashed a good Bin file in then flashed the Calibration on top and bugger me it fired straight up! Let it run for 30 seconds that'll do it's really loud! Don't want to piss neighbours off after dark local pukekos were losing their shit. And im unsure if my turbo was getting oil so will confirm tmrw then do a video after checking if anything is resting on exhaust. Fuck yeah!!
