Re: Vlad's rides thread
40 ish lb FoMoCo 6 hole injectors,fully calibrated in the tune and cam specs below.
Just after idle and cranking settings ideally. The rest I will sort out on the road and dyno and I have already invested a lot of time getting all the rest of the flags and other stuff done.

Re: Vlad's rides thread
Something interesting 12P does which might help others with knock retard issues. Even with MALF codes disabled and knock ignore maxed. If there is no knock sensor install it will pull 6º anyway. So the ESC needs to be maxed on the enable temp like in the V8 tunes. I saw this straight away and thought what the? Setting the temp to max stopped it complaining.

Re: Vlad's rides thread
or set the retard value to 0 should stop it also.
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: Vlad's rides thread
Log of the initial tune and hard warm restart plus stall.
I think it may just been lean. I am not sure if lots of overlap needs richer or leaner than stock
I have already done a basic VE re-work after this tune, have increased the VE something like 44% already over the stock base line. This engine breaths!
The log attached is more for suggestion for me to look at and I will look at these when I get more time with tuning.

Re: Vlad's rides thread
from the screen in the video i'd say its too rich ? and narrow band at 990 seems to say that too....
even with a big cam you shouldn't need much more than 13.5 at idle ?

Re: Vlad's rides thread
It was jumping all over and commanded was like 10-12 on start up but more like 13-16 jumpy and back firing on actual reading. I enriched it a lot and was a lot better after, but a hot restart was the issue and hot idle after a restart seems bad too. It was much happier when cold and richer but hard to tell now as I have had so many changes to get it not to explode the floor pan, had to do some emergency shut downs as the back fires where bouncing me across the floor of the car. I thought I had split the floor pan open at that point. Holy fuck it's loud!

Re: Vlad's rides thread
Speedo corrector. Did all the calcs and should be set correctly for my diff and tyre size change.
This is a super common issue with the VP seats. The lumbar adjusts break. Only ever seen one not broken and I have that seat up on my rack so going to build one from the 2 seats. I am going to get the covers redone with NOS cloth near Bendigo. I washed all the covers, only took 8 was cycles in the machine. They were disgusting All the foam turned to this orange gooy crap and made an absolute mess of everything.
I am going to get the engineer/machine shop I use to made a solid steel support block with shaft to replace the pin that is held by the side tabs in the mechanism so that my good lumbar adjuster will be modded not to break. I suspect the one in the VP S should also be good being 70 odd k on the clock so I will have 3 made. One for the VR as well, that is totally broken, doesn't work at all. So will keep an eye out at the pick a part for a decent one to modify for the VR later on.
Also my laser cut stuff arrived. So I got the sway bar spacers fitted, one layer of 4mm was enough...just. Clears by about 2-3 mm now.

Re: Vlad's rides thread
I have been putting this one off since about April when it became too cold to do any painting or gluing etc..
Last 2 days the sun came out, something I have not seen for several weeks and the temp was warm in the shed with humidity not too high. About 15-17c in the shed.
The frame on the driver door had several spots of heavy surface rust around the welds and paint chips and paint worn off where he first owner was getting in and out.
The 2 back doors had a tiny spot on the back corner which I ground down and touched it up with a dab of POR15. The Passenger front door was perfect so no need to do anything.
So I spent the last 2-3 days grinding with tiny dremel bits and little wire wheels in a drill to get in the spots and preped the rest yesterday.
So I masked it today and everything else due to the large amount of over spray dust the Upol paint makes.
Before painting how the back part of the frame looked after smoothing and rust removal.
Masking.
Etch primer and paint.
Yep, this shit goes everywhere!
Looks just like factory new.
So I will be chasing the remainder of good used bits from Bendigo this week including a late model glass that hasn't had a factory space bubble so hopefully not scratched up like it was dragged though a quarry.

Re: Vlad's rides thread
Vlad, have you already got new door & window seals ?
If so are they still easy to get hold of ?
The sun has damaged the window seals along the top of my doors where window winds down in too I have noticed. Mine are banana shaped & when I press them back down they just pop back up again a short time later on my VS.
