keltik Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I like your lack of mechanical sympathy for this thingWhy run a narrow band? You should just fit a wideband and be happy Theres a guy on toyspeed selling AEM ones for $119 to your door Wideband sensors have an accurate lifespan of only 50-200 hours. Plus you need to calibrate them, so on a road car can do more harm than good when used for long term fueling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltik Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Yeah, was going to do the wideband thing but had that explained to me and had to agree. Hadnt thought bout it that way before. On the Palmy drive, the car went well - the 02 sensor didnt register a voltage at all. So either i havnt hooked something up right or the car is running super mega lean. We shall see.

fuel Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 how new is the O2 sensor? Is it a heated type? If not how far away from the exhaust port is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 If its a 4wire one, hook it up to a 12v power supply then connect multimeter to sensing wires. Let it heat up and then cover it in a rag soaked in Brakleen or something. Should read 5v or thereabouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 4wire heated, its quite a way away from the ports, brand spankin new. It does work since i have seen it working at idle with my old tune, but as soon as you rev the motor up it just dropped to 0v. With the new map it just doesnt move at all except on very light trailing throttle where it barely scrapes 0.1v. Will be looking into it more tomorrow - will see if the heater is actually working.

keltik Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Had my tune sorted today. Managed 160kw peak and there was more to be had if i swapped to 98RON fuel, a better intake and better flowing rear muffler - but i dont reeeeally want to do any of the above for noise and cost reasons. Didnt get a dyno plot but did video one of the runs. It turned out shitty so i wont post it up here just yet. Heres some pics from today. Overall the car drives pretty nicely, it pulls down low just as good as it used to then at about 4500rpm it really starts to take off. Keeps pulling to 7k which is where im currently shifting gear. Not going to gain much by taking it any higher. Cant wait to give it a fang on the track at nats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I bet it sounds like the devil himself gargling the souls of the damned at 7000rpm. Are you able to fit a velocity stack type thing into your OEM intake box? I run a similar set up in my ITR now and keeps it quiet but makes good power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 that 160kw at the wheels/hubs? how much torque it spew out??? this engine should make it better for towing no? so many questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 kw measured at hubs, torque - i have no idea, i think it was about 240-280nm? As for towing abilities, nah no different since torque figures between the old motor and new one arent really that far apart. This one just breathes a lot better higher in the rev range.

Evan Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 160 at the hubs aint bad. subaru rate these things at 180kw flywheel iirc. so the link/fancy tune must have tickled its balls a lil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 160 at the hubs aint bad. subaru rate these things at 180kw flywheel iirc. so the link/fancy tune must have tickled its balls a lil Correct, 180kw at the hubs is achievable with a new exhaust, better fuel and some more time on the dyno. Might do it later once my bank account has recovered. Its certainly a shitload more rapid than before!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltik Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 So this things been off the road since about a week after i got it tuned. Im reeeeeeally missing driving it and have been hooning to work on the madass. I thought driving the Hilux made me appreciate the small things like carpet and air con. Riding the Madass makes me appreciate even smaller luxuries like a windscreen and a comfortable seat. The gearbox has gone back to the wreckers to get sorted. They sent it out to some workshop somewhere in Auckland who split it apart and said everything looks good to them - they cant understand why it was popping out of gear and fucking about. So they repleaced a couple synchros, set up the backlash and have sent it back down to me. Will be reinstalling it in the next couple days and can hopefully get driving again!

xsspeed Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 did they even check if it sits in gear (I am sure they did) Could it be something silly like incorrect shifter cable length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Its a very straightforward mechanical linkage on these boxes. My top link has been touching the floorpan on hard 3rd gear shifts so will grind the linkage down a bit and fit new bushes. The popping out of gear was definitely a selector issue tho - its almost as tho the thrust faces were worn causing the input shaft to slide forward enough to stop 3rd engaging properly. Or it wasnt shimmed properly. They did replace the input shaft too so hopefully it will go nicely and behave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
