Ooh ooh how about one of these in there for next drag day.

Found i had the Tuner Pro zip file v5 all ready to go buried in a amongst some vw stuff on the garage laptop and the ADX files are now saved ready to go. Will have a tutu with some basic data logging and diagnostic stuff just to have a poke around once i get the spare ecu sorted. Be good to log some ignition sources to see if it actually loses crank angle signal when it stutters or its just the DFI Playing silly buggers.

Fuck with the headaches this glitch has given me im surprised it hasn't got an SU on on it yet. Fucking thing repeatedly proves its smarter than i am.

@vk327 ah yes ive been in touch with Trevor too hence ive tried to source a spare ECU to send to him, i had a shady alternator for a while which could have done weird things to all the sensitive gadgets. Im keen to learn some tuning and get a bit more advanced, but probably after i get this stuff sorted as its been a real brain bender and at moment i just dont have money to throw at it for someone else to fix it (i will farm out what needs an expert though). but i do have tools time and a few new parts and some knowledge with VCDS From my vw.

Basically runs like a bag of dicks with a hunting idle rev counter needle drops to zero on and off sometimes it dies completely. Was throwing codes for no reference signal new crank angle and ignition module got rid of those and it running again. But it miss fires and carries on till temp gauge just gets off cold undrivable till then. Turning the aircon on also seems to upset it till its warm. Its 100% standard no pod filter or exhaust mods nothing.

Yeah vy is done through OBD no prom in them. Keep in mind im keen and once im into it itll make sense i just want to cut through opinions of that pcmhacking website as you can read all day and be no wiser (well i can) Might try going down youtube wormhole but the adds break my concentration.

Im pissing around with holdens alot currently a VY commodore just an ecotec, ive just bought a spare ECU to fault find an issue i get when the engines cold. I need to either pair it to my BCM or just turn off VATS anyone know the ins and outs. Yes theres stuff on the internet but its information in an unformatted mess of opinions usually. Wanting a step by step from someone who knows what they're doing to get me started and understanding what im trying to do. I do own the required lead to talk to the ecu via the OBD port and some software. Any takers?

If you want gross but effective triumph 2500pi mechanical injection works on the old 202 use efi throttle bodies as the trumpy ones neck down to about 32mm and are worth big bucks but the mechanical injection just mounts off the dizzy so pretty user friendly to modify. Old tech as fuck once you get your head around the gear its not bad and will make good power. Pair it with clever ignition would be a very good thing. I ran lucas mechanical injection off a 2.5 on a 2 litre triumph race engine i scored that was running triple webbers i couldn't afford them so was worth a punt, it was a punchy weapon! Once it was setup it just worked.

Haha can ensure all the relays got shuffled chasing faults and the fluke got a workout.

Also discovered it has about 4mm of crank end float. Thought maybe the crank trigger disc on Harmonic balancer was pushing forward and not getting picked up by sensor. Did some testing with laptop and data logging to see if that was the issue.... nope

Fuck me this thing has electrical gremlins that right screwed my weekend. After fitting a brand new ignition module the same issues started coming back so started checking earths all were loose or screwed to paint so no fucking good...... more or less had the wiring loom out looking for broken wires. Put it all back in all back it alternator died fitted a new one hurray it starts and runs mint! Then died. Out of options and parts and no fault codes i jammed the second hand coil pack in i had bought and it ran mint all day, this morning its spitting and shitty till warm then runs perfect. Time to get some bloke in......

Been having a right bastard of a time lately tracking down an electrical gremlin. Pulled into drive and it just turned off last friday after driving from Auckland back to Huntly and wouldn't restart, after 6 attempts it finally threw a check engine code for the crank angle sensor which after a mad panic i got my hands on and fitted (which is behind the harmonic balancer) and nothing wouldn't start. Called a mate whose a decent mechanic directed me to the ignition module which i removed plug blew out with air and refitted finally it ran! But like utter shit till warm, these aren't as commonly available in nz nor particularly cheap. Limped to and from work for a week letting it warm up first new module has arrived been fitted and seems good thank fuck for that!

I machined the guts of mine so it only just lets go of belt at idle just a bees dick of clearance on front drum, prior it would of had 2-3mm so it took at least 3000rpm to get anything happening. Only issue i have is it sometimes get a bit grabby when you come to a stop think it just needs some grease on spline so everything returns to its resting spot.

Fitted the supertrapp with what bends and pipe i had left sounds nice and thumpy and not too loud, it pops a bit and spits massive blue flames on deceleration (like a 40cm ring of flame!) I'll redo the headers in 1 1/2" eventually and move the muffler lower and out of way but for now its usable again. Low stall mod worked engages drive earlier doesn't seem to have affected the cvt operation changes ratios as it did before.

.

Im looking forward to seeing how you manage to fit both a supercharger and a turbo.

Machined these two spacers up for the cvt shorter is to set up as per instructions the other is a trial "low stall" setup to hopefully get it moving with less revs. This engine loves been loaded up and the cvt is intended for things bit more gutless down low so just experimenting. I managed to blow the outer cover off the driver pulley somehow as well cant figure out how but i was fair hauling when it lost drive and rolled to a stop....... long push back to trailer.

Hey try South pacific avionics at the Ardmore airport for getting your speedo sorted. Have had John fix a few Irreparable analog dynamometers recently surprisingly they just arrive back fixed.... no dramas. He does aircraft instruments etc so will probably be a right up his alley. http://shop.avionics.co.nz/calibration-services#container

You need to tie the brake lines stop them breeding

Muffler arrived bloody quickly! My shitty (but new) pit bike Muffler already burned all the packing out and is starting to deform from heat. Going to need to add some extra length to pipes to space the supertrapp away from the engine or it'll be short lived.

Ffs had a milk tanker decide he had right of way turning onto the highway which lead to 100kph down to zero emergency stop. Front rotors now warped might be time for some new curve slotted brembos.

Can you jam 2zz in these?

Treated myself to some more wheels gone for 19's this time. Slowly turning into a donk no intention to lower it its awesome never snags on anything. I was also energetic enough to run the buff over it which has made quite presentable again.

I have a Tikka spy camera from the early 1900s it appears to be functional inhereted it from a stash my pop had...... he liked cameras and guns and would frequently fix things by shooting them.

Looks good after a wash, thought it was satin black for a while. Like the wheels they certainly pop!
