How's the idle control holding up with both the blower and air conditioning?

Hi Tim, the idle control needs some further fine tuning with regards to compensating for the air-con load at idle. Will get to it as soon as I get a chance.

Regards,
Danny

I dropped my car off at TAS this morning and Matt said that you would be having a look at getting the idle valve and aircon tuned to run a bit better, in my case the aircon crapped out about a month ago and wont be getting fixed till just before next summer, but i'd be interested to see how you go with it all.

My idle valve was making some funky sounds before, but Matt says they learnt a few things when dealing with your Megasquirt yesterday that should at least reduce its noise.

Hi Graeme, they didn't break the dyno tune down into an hourly rate. The total amount was $450 and it took around 3 hours. So you could say that their hourly rate for dyno tuning is $150.

Cheers,
Danny

ps. I got your PM....no problem, will see you when you return from Melbourne.

Hey Danny,

I'll try to not derail this thread too badly but you may want to look into the dashpot RPM target adder stuff too. I had stalling problems when coming to a stop after putting the clutch in with the air conditioning running, turns out I had to trigger a tashpot event to cure this. As I said on the phone I'm really rusty with this stuff now, but here's what my dashpot settings were on my JRSC M45 equipped NA with a BMW TPS:

This would cause the MSPNP to have a closed loop RPM target of 1300 (900+400) for 2.5 seconds after the dashpot TPS event occurred, eliminating most of the stalls.

Hope this helps!

Cheers

Thanks for taking the time Tim

. I will hopefully get a chance to have a play with the settings today.

Danny, have you still got that G-tech (or similar) meter? How about we find a quite stretch of road and work out some performance times?

Hi Guys
Looks like a real good day over at Toowoomba!!
Re the figs on HP, it looks like I'm getting about 9-10 less than you Danny, I guess this is less boost [75 ish mm nose pulley and 1.6 versus 1.8 engine] Maybe I'll get a smaller nose pulley. Whatever the figures the change in driveability is amazing, well worth the time and money IMHO

Hey Geoff I think you will find you will want a smaller nose pulley.

Don't forget you got a crank pulley overlay with your kit but you might want to see if Danny will make an extra water to air intercooler for you first!

I've edited my error Tim, thanks for pointing it out :oops:

Not really decided which way to go yet, I'm looking at the various IC options and really like the one from the Brisbane firm. I reckon the "smaller" pulley is maybe a good interim stage

Big G, given you already have the BBK fitted, if you fit the smaller SC nose pulley, an IC or water injection will probably not be optional to realise any further gain.

A few months back I also called on Rupewrecht (Dan) to supply a pair of Mazdaspeed seats. They were in very good condition but needed just a little TLC to bring them back up to schmick condition.

In preparation for this Thursday's club trackday I fitted a Sparco 3" 4-point harness which will share duties with my NC once it finally hits the track. I have the crotch strap assembly for when it is used in the NC. Here's how they look....

Cheers,
Danny
