New days have their benefits

Made a slightly inebriated decision yesterday to buy another na engine for the territory. Can just do valve springs and run 15psi for a while. At least it'll keep it mobile and possibly motivate me to build it again.

Looked at the dyno today, was gonna use it but the weather has been so hot lately, I didn't want to stress the car out. Might get jiggy wid it tomorrow 😎

Flamin kids ay, who'd have em?! In other news... Today I bought a single rim to replace my broken one. I fitted and balanced it then put it in the boot, in the spare tire compartment. Whomever the fark decided having a 7 piece spare wheel holder in the Caprice was a good idea, needs a good solid kick in the balls

Obligatory yay whatever day it is

Dunno. Don't overthink it. Get these, they are already gapped to suit boost. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/167175944733?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=khTEO-w9TDu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=7MxRuQwIT_G&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

There are two cam sensors, each located at the back of the head on either side of the engine.

Your cams are moving and there's no cam error, that means the phasers aren't stuck and it's doing what is being asked of it. Go for a drive and get a log, you might see it play up then.

Low oil pressure can cause cam error at idle, but with rpm it will usually come good. You'd have to measure it. I don't see why you couldn't leave the filters out.

I suppose they could be, you'd have to pull the front 2 cam caps and check. Don't pull them off unless you have a small torque wrench to do them back up, there is a very small window between done up enough and done up too much and the bolt is stretched.

If they are reading -10 at idle, something is farked. Check the solenoids are plugged in for starters, after that you will need to see a mechanic.

You go to read PID data which is the oscilloscope symbol on the left. At the top you select dashboard, then you have to manually add it by clicking set up all gauges down the bottom, it's the settings looking button, then you have to connect to there live data by clicking the play button... Or maybe the other way around, I can't remember. I'm not connected to a vehicle now but that is the gist of it. Yes it has to be running, the cam has dicks that go past the cam sensor. The pcm doesn't know the engine position until it's cranking, and won't know the cam error until it's running.

Forscan will show cam error

Honestly an aftermarket boost controller with a na pcm will do the job, providing the turbo is big enough.

Just ate nearly half a kg of bacon dipped in mustard, steak sauce and sweet chilli sauce.

Put them into Assetto Corsa or Beamng.drive, people would love them. I made a 600awkw territory for beaming.drive, haven't used it in a while though. Doesn't look anywhere near as good as yours though.

I haven't got experience with ute carpet, but in my other carpet and trim pulling experience, sometimes you just gotta pull harder.

Had an old school XD Falcon with a 351 on the dyno this evening for a power run. The guy had moved the distributor before arrival and it was roughly 20 degrees too far advanced showing pinging, pre ignition and a very high idle. After a quick adjustment with the timing light, it ran up a respectable 162rwkw. The neighbours had just got home so they enjoyed an earful lol. I would give a fark but they have been insufferable carnts since they moved in, noise being the biggest problem. How the turntables

Haha it's honestly not a lot different, although it is a sh*tload better than when I first picked it up. It pulls better everywhere and is much snappier to drive, but most of that is in the tune I reckon. I've been learning to tune the LS platform flat out lately, spent many hours on YouTube listening to Matt Sanford, heaps of time road tuning/logging as well as a bit of time on the dyno, and I have my head around it pretty good now. Looking forward to doing some cammed stuff soon

Here's $50

Woo doggy, all kinds of hp gains...all kindzzz

Looked at the dyno, did no dyno work. The flamin VCM intake finally showed up this evening at 9pm, would it be bogan of me to go out and fit it now? I'll fit it tomorrow and then I will get the Caprice back on the dyno for some more tuning. I'll be happy if it makes 240rwkw, might even be enough to beat a stock Falcon now Also managed to get the shed ordered this year and it'll be delivered end of January. Should only be a couple weeks for them to have it built and concrete done, will just have to wait and see

Trans service for the shop car today, made it like new!!! Smooth shifting and crisp where it counts! Did a bunch of road tuning to dial in the speed density, now it's much closer to where it needs to be. I'll put it on the dyno tomorrow and sort out the wot stuff, it was a bit rich last time I checked. It'll be interesting to see if the power output changes.

Yay Saturday

I looked at the dyno today and thought about setting it up. It was 35c here today and the rain was intermittent, so I gave it a miss. The joy of an outdoor dyno. I'll get back on it tomorrow I reckon, keep things fresh and further develop the mafless tune for the Caprice. I have been watching countless hours of LS based HP tuners content, feels like I'm back in school lol. My OTR was lost in the post and after several calls and a couple emails, it's back on track to be delivered next week. That's about all I've got for dyno content, if you want a power run, hit me up, can get you in whenever.
