    Fuel and ignition map shape?

    Hi Guys Finally managed to get back into my haltech and I'm looking at the maps, pics attached, I'm wondering what the fuel maps should look like? Is there a desired shape of the graph? I tweaked them a little to get the car to idle/free rev again after I put bigger injectors in. The fuel...

    Rigging up a factory o2 sensor as a tuning tool?

    Hi Guys Just wondering if it is possible to rig up a factory O2 sensor from a VR to use as a tuning tool? My vr has a haltech and the manual loom I used when I did the conversion doesn't have the plug/wires for the 02 sensor. The car runs reasonable well without it but I'm installing...

    VR 6 no spark

    Got it sorted in the end... obviously was missing the 12 volts at the DFI, found that one of the terminals had come out of the relay mount, after that found that the CAS was gone so replaced that and had plenty of spark but still no start. Had injector pulse and heaps of fuel pressure, did my...

    Twin Turbo Vr V6 PCV issues

    I've just got my twin turbo vr v6 up and running, but having an issue with an oil leak. It's near the oil filter and I've checked and re done all the oil fittings etc. After a lot of thinking/reading I finally clicked that I need to modify the PCV system as I'm pressurising the intake now so the...

    power steering fluid?

    Just buy a bigger bottle of ATF, so much cheaper than buying 500ml power steering fluid, especially if your leaking lots

    frustrating cars lol

    Can't help you with the mystery wire as I have a Vr, however I'm guessing the TPS plug is the Throttle Position Sensor (on the bottom of the throttle body), The TB one I'm not sure, haven't paid to much attention to vs', but I would guess its the idle air control valve on the throttle body (if...

    Weird problem, Indicators come on at high rpm

    Start off car is a Vr V6. It's got two turbos on it and I've just got it running, still on blocks but its running. It's running a haltech and it either doesn't have the rev limiter set or its pretty high as I haven't hit it. Once it hits around 6000rpm the indicators come on for a few...

    Power limit for new drivers

    Power limits are useless. I'm currently driving a 1984 mitsubishi sigma, with well under 100 kilowatts, and it is still capable of 160km/h+. The only way to make driving for provisional license holders safer is for them to actually learn how to control a car, not just how many metres from a...

    Spud Guns, Legal?

    Guessing illegal, simply because of the incredible power they have, they are basically a freaking cannon...

    World's most beautiful garages.

    While the pics were impressive, I was hoping for something more along those lines. Or atleast actual garages, where work gets done, the buildings in them pics are just show rooms. Still, awesome pics

    yay or nay?

    If I was to buy an import I would buy an immaculate low ks one from the auctions in Japan. Have a few mates who have bought imports that way and the cars are completely mint, totally different level to the cars we have here.
