  1. I might do bro. Do you have them on a disk or can I download them from somewhere?
  2. My laptop died a while ago and I lost everything on it. I'm not sure what drivers I need for the serial to USB cable. If I just plug in the cable windows is ment to download it automatically but it doesn't for some reason. But once I've got the correct drivers loaded it "should" connect up fine, as I downloaded the latest tunerstudio with portmatch.
  3. It started up and ran fine when I first put the new coils in, so they are in the correct order. Yeah I was just told about the floor clear the other day, its a handy feature. I don't want to fiddle with the mixtures as its been tuned and they should be fine. The problem shouldn't be in the tune. I'm having a little bit of trouble connecting my laptop the the Megasquirt, once I've got that connected up I'll be able to check that the ECU is not at fault.. If the ECU checks out ok then I'll start looking at some other possibilities.
  4. The spark dwell settings are set up correctly so that shouldn't be a problem. Tried to figure out what the problem is yesterday with Chris R. It has spark and fuel, but too much fuel. It would soak the plugs after a bit of cranking. When we pulled the fuel pump fuse it wanted to run after a bit of cranking.. So maybe the fuel pressure reg is stuffed? We didn't have a gauge to chuck in and see if it was getting the right pressure though.
  5. Hey team. I'm after a good auto sparky in north/west Auckland. I live in whenuapai but I don't mind towing it half an hour or so to somewhere decent. Any suggestions on a good place would be rad! I'm new to Auckland so I'm not sure where to go. My problem; I put some new coils into my Datto 1200 (CA18det engine) because the factory ones suck. I put in some lexus coils and wired it all up. When I first started it, it ran sweet for about 10 seconds, then cut out completely. Then when I tried starting it, it would only run on 2 cylinders. Then after trying to figure out the problem, It wouldn't run at all. I sent the ECU (megasquirt) to Jared in Tauranga for him to check it, and it turned out sweet but My coils had pooed themselves. So I got some more coils, chucked the ECU and the new coils in, gave it a crank.... and nothing. I'm quietly chipping away at little fault finding jobs but nothing seems to be working. Since it initially started and ran fine, I think the wiring is fine, But I'm not sure could have crapped out, I think I may have touched a couple of wires together coming out of the ecu plug. Maybe it stuffed the resistors for the low imp injectors? Any help would be appreciated!
  6. that 5k doesn't happen to be solid lifter does it?
  7. sping shops bend the metal (probably in one big bend) then heat the steel and quench it in water, this brings all the grains in the steel to the same point so its essentially one piece again. When a spring shop reset leaves they only just warm the steel and slowly bend it in a press (start and one end of leaf and work there way to the other end). When they make the spring in the from scratch, the steel is heated to red hot, shaped using a jig, then cooled down in oil, then heated again to get the correct hardness. Then the spring is shaped and matched to other leaves in a press. You are right, but if you heat the metal until it starts to change colour, not hot enough to change to red but when it starts to get a tinge of purple or blue, then if you let it cool in the air it normalises the metal, which will be making it softer and a lot more saggy than when they came out of factory. I'm not sure what cooling rates springs require after heating, but after any heating you should probably reheat to red hot and quench in oil or water. or else they might sag like crazy when you load them up.
