Figured as much but couldn't find anyone saying it outright. Cheers!

I did consider a remote res, but it's such a small angle that it shouldn't be required, If bleeding becomes and issue I can just jack that side up and it would be pretty close to level again

Can anyone confirm if its okay to run a brake master cylinder on an angle. I mean a clocked angle, about 10 degrees of center max. I've read abit online but either it talks about the cylinder being on an angle front to back, or I can't figure out what kind of angle they mean. My new twin circuit manual master cylinder does fit, but the resovoirs are very close to the inlet manifold and I'd like to open up that gap. The outlets are on the bottom, and the bleed nipples are on the side but if rotated would be facing a bit further down.

my engine runs wayyyyy better on 4 squirts. megasquirts adjusts required fuel automatically when fiddling with that setting

Welded up that pipe today, it welded like absolute shit. 100% temporary. also got another photo from trackday, i absolutly love this pic. Running with my brother in his XX Celica

Remove the cracked extractor section. It's pretty fucked, I'm very close to just building some flows for it, but I don't need another side project distracting from getting it certed. So I'll just weld them up as is, they'll probably fail again, but hopefully that will be after cert and I can then make something nice for it.

also some pictures of the completed painted spoiler. the Toyota logo is stenciled stainless steel and the whole lot clear coated. the bootlid is painted but had some problems with it. so ill just fit the spoiler to the original bootlid because i like it very much

Awesome! I'll put those into the main build thread too. Bloody awesome day!

Tuning went well today untill i snapped off half the secondary header pipe, which meant any 02 sensor reading would be incorrect. got an excellent amout of time for autotune to spend on the map. as seen by how dark green the cell weighting panel is getting. clearly i need to extending the tuning further into the rev range but that will come with time, same goes for higher up in the boost, once i fit a new pulley. (by no means a completed map, the car is still fixing itself after that fueling setting correction) however it was performing very well, with some flat spots. i also need to rescale the map because im not sure why i ran it out to 8000, itll never see that.

today the company i work for held a track day, nothing like getting paid to blast around in your car, and some serious race cars! (s12 silvia is even OS worthy) got some really good tuning in, in the morning before i snapped off the secondary header pipe. the car sounded like a rotary with massively unequal headers, think 30cm for 2 cylinders and 2.5m for the other two! last week i discovered a setting in the ecu that was wrong and the cause of all my hard start and fouling problems, with that corrected the map was super rich and required re-tuning pretty much from scratch, after the track day its still not 100% there, but it is closer. had i had the full day i probably would have it sorted but such is life! bloody good day. the corona is a horrible race car, but is going to make an awesome street car. the car is making alot more power with the fueling corrected. so im considering running less boost for the same desired power, and having a more reliable engine. currently its running about 2.5 - 3 psi while i tune the sub 100kpa area of the map. I would love some proper headers, but for now ill just weld up the cracked pipe and stay focused on getting it cert ready. i fucking love the look of the car with the spoiler and new wheels.

cheers! I keep meaning to put a post in the depression thread, but every time i read it people are having a way tougher time than i was. but the advice given there was invaluable. focused on the shit job being temporary and kept looking for a new good opportunity and backed myself hard when going for it. after my entire professional career being fixing things i got pretty sick of it, and now i professionally break things cars, trucks buses at high way speeds into roadside barriers. hard work, but shit its satisfying, and then at lunch we play with company race cars, which is a seen as a learning and development exercise for all those interested.

ill take a video once we've timed the engine and got it running on the maps and vaguely tuned, currently i cant wait to drive it.

that is 100% what i assumed is happening, the last map was band aid fixing the issue it had. in other megasquirt news. today at work we got our v12 mercedes sl600 AMG race car up and running on ms3x. i put together the start up tune and it fired up first pop once we got the crank trigger sorted. so i was very proud and super stoked. the exhaust it pretty open and it sounds fucking ruthless. same engine as the first Pagani Zonda. hopefully we can get it finished and out to the trackday on wednesday and get some tune into that too,

i read them ages ago when i first setup the map but have probably forgotten it all, will give it another read now. but i hadn't really got a good chance to drive the car other than some worried late night runs as the thing is totally illegal. i really just want to get it running nice enough and reliable so it can go for cert without getting stranded in the middle of the workshop. will sus the idle (its pretty good) and lock it out. one slightly worrying thing is that at idle my VE numbers are looking very low. single digit low. i assume this is something to do with the dead time and running 4 squirt as it used to be around 35. but also, it works, and im not too inclined to change something that works just because its not showing up right. the rest of the map, under load is only looking to be about 20 - 30% too rich the more i get into it. it was just idle that was wildly different. anyway off for another 10 minute worried run.

ive got some big (in comparison to stock) 450cc injectors from an evo or a gsr or something like that, i forget exactly, they were cleaned and flowed and on trademe, so who knows if they actually were, but they looked tidy. ive banged it back to 4 squirts as it is WAY nicer. on 2 squirts it behaves the same crappy way as 1 squirt. it would probably run better once warm but its still an utter dog to start. crank the engine and itll fire and die after a couple cylinders fire, do this 20 times and maybe youll get the engine started, but more than likley youll just run the battery dead and have to wait for the battery charger. 4 squirts fires right up, throttle blips are super snappy and AFR (the small portion thats tuned at this stage) is steady. i was probably a bit harsh saying the map was 4 times too rich, its probably closer to 2 times too rich, but autotune (to answer that question yes i do have a full version of tuner studio) has brought the idle back in check nicely and i see no reason why it wont bring the rest back. i was worried about requesting such a small ms at idle with 4 squirts but it seems to behave. ill hopefully get out for a few late night runs around the block to get the base tune right before i get it on the track and start working through it. untill i blow it up and take the S4 out for a hoon

I'm not sure that's the issue. I was only idling and as far as I know the non linear is at the top of the flow? Though with 4 squirt it may have had such short openings that it affected it, I'd have expected to see lean though? Though in fucking around and running it quite rich I upset the spark plugs, cleaned them alot but they don't spark well anymore so will grab some new ones today and try to get a few laps around the block to bring the tune back in check. I have a company track day next week that I'm hoping to get the tune nailed down on. But just need to get it back close before then.

That is a pretty good explanation, I didn't find it via Google for some reason, cheers! Might give tuning on 2 squires a go and if not good bang it back to 4. Either way I'm confident it was the issue. 1 squirt for the whole crank rotation! No wonder it it was a pain to start

been chasing my tail recently with a hard to start/fouling on start/general rough running issue. last night i discovered a setting 'squirts per engine cycle' it was set to 1 and 'injector staging' was set to simultaneous i changed it to 2 squirts and 'alternating, maybe a little improvement. but then i changed it to 4 squirts alternating and boom fired up really easy, ran quite smooth, i could even blip the throttle without it bogging out. shut the engine off cause it was late and i was in a closed garage and wanted to live. came home tonight and gave it a proper warm up, started up really easily and ran pretty good once again (previously id have to start and restart it 20 times before it would catch) it immediately became apparent that the map was now about 4 times too rich. can anyone explain to me exactly what this function does. as far as i understand previously it was firing both cylinders full amount of fuel in one go and one cylinder was always scavenging its supply, and now its chopped up into 4 lots and flicks it around more evenly. or does it now dump 4x as much fuel in and its not just a coincidence the map is about 4x too rich. either way ill re tune the map and even at crazy rich it runs so much nicer. just sounds like a rotary.

i was also going to suggest 4ag_addicts brother. http://southernautoglass.co.nz/index.html hes mobile and was excellent service when he did my corona glass removal and installs when i painted it.

Ashburton weeks go for ages! 15 days

there was once an age when it was acceptable for me to hoon a go kart around a local park. i feel that if i did that now as an adult id get the police called

lol im not surprised that aeroflow pump was loud. it says itll flow enough to support over 600hp and you put it on a 4k.

that looks like a flash candy bar

Arnt you glad you don't need to cert scoots Clint. /you probably do, I haven't read the bike rules
