Well Well Well… Thought I'd give an update to all who helped along with this project. The Ute continued to run great and I ended up sorting the tune to be very driveable without the VSS Signal. It proved to be a reliable setup through varying harsh conditions (I'm a p plater remember?). The whole se...

get the engine warmed up and then see what the IAC value is, open the throttle stop till the IAC value is around 10-15 steps .... this should mean even if the IAC closes the idle speed shouldnt go so low as to stall the engine. and yes its ok that the afr go lean like that. Alrighty I’ll give that ...

alrighty i am back! Have already put over 100kms on the old girl already and i gotta say, apart from a slight oil leak, the engine goes way harder than i was expecting when i was building it! Definetly glad i did this EFI swap! And the sound is just amazing! Ive got two issues this time, after drivi...

hopefully should be alright!

Installed and works well now! Also check out the fan to radiator clearance in the photo. It was a tight squeeze!

I managed to find a new Bosch unit for $140 on ebay. Turns out the VK's use the same pressure regulator as the old Jaguar Xj6's. "official" VK ones were closer to $300!

Good find. Your explanation on being rich at idle sounds spot on. Yeah I’m glad I finally noticed it. It’s been driving me nuts the whole time and probably explains why I struggled to initially get it running because of the engine being flooded with my testing the fuel pump etc. now I gotta find $1...

good stuff man, tuning is the fun part of the whole process! also just so you know, the first round of tweaking the VE table wont always get it right, but do logs and make changes from it and evetually you'll get it spot on. Cheers mate. I think I’ve found the issue, this fuel pressure regulator is...

It’s a bit hard to explain. Still runs a little Rich at Idle (even with the VE charts changed) but as soon as I get going, it pulls like a train with good afrs!

well i am a bit stumped now, i have gone and changed the VE tables to suit some more logs that i did. Even with changed VE tables im still getting a rich reading
