True story.

Hang on a cotton picking minute! Do you mean to tell me that people use....cameras...to take photos? I'm flabbergasted

I find it's actually easier on mobile. I take my picture on my phone, I already have the imgur upload page open in a new tab so I quickly upload it, I copy the direct link, talk a bunch of crap in the reply box, paste the link then hit enter. That's quicker than walking across the house, plugging into my pc, waiting for the phone folders to open then adding the extra step of transferring over usb.

Yep. Not much point having a slightly decent turbo without supporting mods. Here's a picture of most of it. There's just a few clamps and hoses not shown. I'll chuck it in tomorrow and see how it goes.

Here ya go k31th.

He's not here yet. I'll post some up when he gets here.

I know. It's a hard life. In other news Jet's bringing me some intake stuff this evening. It's the plazmaman 4 inch airbox/filter etc with the odyssey battery. That should work a bit better than a pod straight off the turbo sucking in hot air.

I don't mind it but we get too many days over 40 here. I'm the only one who can step out of the house for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Wanna swap? We've got 26 tomorrow then 30 then 35 on Sunday. Not very good drag racing weather.

Ah hahaha. Is it hot there? It's still 34 degrees here after a high of 43. Tooooo hot.

So if you were a sailor you'd be called Seaman Gainz

Whatever floats ya boat.

I'm pretty sure that's a picture of you smoking a mushroom tip. Nek minute you'll be making all kinds of gains, all kindzzz.

I typed that on my phone. It's not conclusive but covers the general gist of load points. I'll pm you some links if you like. Just pm me what you want to know either specifically or generally and I'll find something relevant for you or straight out tell you (if I know the answer) if it's a quick answer.

He wanted to learn, that's why. Better to learn live tuning on a sh*t box than jump straight into flash tuning and blowing up your ford. Edit: I definitely agreed on doing stuff right the first time.

Here ya go ROB83R and anyone else who cares. A load point is a area on a map or maps that holds information regarding fuel and ignition values. For example an ignition load point will have 15 degrees btdc and the corresponding load point in the fuel map will hold a value such as lambda or a ve number that is translated into milliseconds. This is how long the injector will stay open for and roughly would be between 1.5 and 2 ms at idle. The load point selected in a map sensor based ecu is dictated by manifold air pressure. Every time the same air pressure is achieved you will get the same ignition or fuel values commanded. If there is an air pressure value that is exactly half way between 2 load points then it will interpolate the 2 points eg: a 15 degree load point next to a 20 degree load point will return a value of 17.5 degrees. This is a sliding scale and will vary from 15 to 20 degrees depending on which one it is closer to. Finally there are correction maps that ask for more or less fuel and or ignition depending on a multitude of variables. The most common are battery voltage, coolant temp and intake air temp. There are other types of load point setups such as using tps vs rpm for giant cams or itb's or a combination of that plus calculated air mass. For further reading I would suggest downloading an aftermarket ecu manual such as haltech and seeing what they have to say on the matter. One last point is like to make is that hptuners will be confusing as fark compared to a live tuning setup. Buy a cheap commy, get over pcmhacking.net and buy the stuff to live tune it. You could buy a decent registered car and the tuning stuff for less than $1500.

Good news man. It's amazing how much cheaper it is and money you save in equity by owning vs renting.

More power from cheaper fuel. What's not to like. It's a pity I'd use $20 worth of fuel to get some.

Nek minute everyone is googling frantically.

You mean retard the timing. When we say "more timing" we are actually talking about a negative number. Retarding is starting earlier and advancing is starting later.

Wadatah my damie

To add, You should probably ask Jet. After all he is one of the few guys in Australia who has bought a dyno for his own further learning. He also appears to have specialized in Ford tuning. Perhaps he has logged other available fuels and the data that comes with it?

Yes there is a chemical difference. I don't agree but show me data and I'll change my mind. If there is a temperature difference in the burn from various fuels despite the same burn rate then there will be an advantage. What I will say is that our motors are fairly identical and the main reason you will see large disparities in power output comes down to the dyno operator.
