Project D - 1 DEC 2007

I would be the same, I would make the breakfast run an all day run.

Its not good to wear an engine in under a constan load, you need to vary it....

Motoman Rules: http://mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

Flame suit on.....

no one said you cant drive under different loads, drive in the slow lane.

Yeah that is difficult to do not drive decently under constant load, but I try to vary it... off the highway it quite easy I just drive normally, heel toe, vary my RPM... 😉

On the highway I constantly shift... try not to keep it in one gear the whole time... but one can only do it so much... It chow's petrol, the BOV also makes me hungry to push it, but I can't... I give it slight boost, but not so much... 😀

BTW: On my very first engine build we drove to Bloem... blew a turbo just outside bloem, Castrol GTX and hills don't mix. That engine was darft anyway... ran 0.7 oversize with 0.5 pistons and 0.75 rings, Danville engine builders... that sparked the idea for the import motor.

Car still not assembled will finish tonight, removing the buildup of dust INSIDE the car took nearly 2 hours.

Sorry about that things were a touch hectic and I forgot to vacuum it.

Nah its cool... it like a woman you havn't seen for a long time... You need to get your hands and tools in everywhere again 😀

BTW: 180KM and running strong!

I've hit some kak...

This morning on the way to the event, the car cut out on me... I got it started but it wouldn't run under any sort of load, even bumps was difficult, it kept cutting out.

I drove to the event with Freddy (thanks for lift)

upon arriving home I started investigating, found a broken wire in the CAS but that ain't all, the key way in the cam (to align CAS) was also broken off, but the CAS was aligned. 😕

Fixed the wire, tried several times to put the CAS back in align and start, but eish it won't start.

I'm not happy, spilled some blood while making a fist size peephole for the garage door.
:200sx_oops:

i think its time you go see your local sangoma.

i reckon someone's cursed you!!!

i hope it all comes right, and dont you have a cam or two lying around from old import motors???

Damn my cam key way has always been broken.

It takes some practice getting it aligned but it can be done...

Wish you luck man

Got everything sorted, various little problems

* Wire broke in CAS loom
* Found broken CAS key - like phinx say to align takes some practice
* Idle pulley fouled - this exact problem happened with Toby, I bought our pulleys together stay away from Dorco get the Autowelt

Was just pretty pissed of that it happened on the morning of the event, but better that than it happening on the way to Krugersdrop.

400KM on clock

Needed to test out my short shifter before installing...

Done by watching some Initial D 😂 😂

Barend, you great man. You great! I have now seen two sides of your personality by now. Great to see that smile again. And dont upset Mom again 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Hit the halfway mark... 508km 😀 - car is a bit dead though and farking heavy on fuel... will need to fill on my way home will be my 3rd tank, I guess a good tune is needed.

Gary had a look at your map... looks very smooth hey

Yip, that is months of road tuning and fiddling 😂 .

Think I also need to get one of that A/F thingy majics...

And do what my buddy did, taught his girlfriend the software and he tell her, up IGN, up Fuel, down here, up there... she tuned while he drove, after a while she got the hang and self tuned here and there... :200sx_angel:

Aslo been trying that new Wolf Software its gots lots of bugs, I freaked out the one morning when I saw my RPM jumping between 160-6000RPM listened to the car, then realized it's just the software.

DON'T FIDDLE :!: :!:

But I want too 😀 Nah can't fiddle don't have the equipment

Most of my fiddling was done with no AFR meter just by feel and drivability. But The Zeitronix is a very handy tool, takes all the guess work out of tuning, exspecially when you have a splutter or a jerk.

Ja the new software has got bugs, I dont use the lastest version (I think thats the one you downloaded) I use 4.72, the map is smaller but the numbers are bigger. Problem is they are too busy with V500 (I think) to bother about V4 and the problems.

yeah I read that there is quite a few Wolf customers upset about the whole software thing, people complaining about the vista problems and that you have to pay for it...

If I was them I would have released the source code the public, you can't do shit with it without the Wolf anyway, that way, guys who got development experience can help fix it and build there own interfaces... Even Linux ports.

Where did you hear people complaining about Vista, that is a huge problem for me. It works sometimes and others it doesnt, I have no Idea why, Im a mechanical guy not computors and electrics.

Can you do that?? Maybe you can fix the bugs and my Vista problem?!

Yeah can do that, but only if they release source code...

I did decompile there V500 software and tried to hack it to make it work with V400, got rid of the message that saiz you don't have a V500, but then it crashed, the maps on the V500 is not the same size as the ones on V400, since I didn't want to sit and figure out, what exact byte size to make the variable they load it in, I left it...

So in all mater of fact, I might be able to hack this version of the V400 again, but its really an effort... .NET software isn't the most "source" secure stuff out there.
