Puffwagon

Why do think it's compression Keith? That is the least likely thing on that list for it to be.

Lol Keith. We planned it like that so they could share toys and clothes and also be closer in age to share common interests. Also all of the nappy changing and lack of sleep is just one big chunk and then it's done. If we had one every 2 years then that's 11 years of nappy changing. Fark that we're already doing 8 years of nappies. It's actually not that hard to do providing you're organised af and give up the "single" party life that most of us lead in our twenties.

Don't worry we are done for good! Four aged 4 and under is enough.

I think I will. I gotta wait until the kids are in bed to discuss it with the missus as they are getting ready for bed and the she is getting cranky with them acting like a pack of brats lol. Haha now that she's on maternity leave she can see what I put up with all day!

Hey there's a plus side to everything right? I was thinking about getting this one as it'll cost nearly double to make an external gate setup. The told the missus and she didn't say I can buy it so guess I'll rearrange the budget and it should be all good. Either that or I'll just park it out the back and never drive it again.

Wpmo today. I'm not really that pissed off more so annoyed that I have to spend money I'd rather be saving. The bearings in my turbo have gone again. It has no play in it and spins forever but it has grown noisy.

True that Keith. There I am at the top of the week and probably only 5% of those posts were actually "helpful" or car related as such. I generally just talk a lot of crap/make conversation because I know that most of the questions people ask have already been answered and are available with a little bit of searching.

So I've been looking at the google maps for ideas and was just wondering where a starting/meeting point would be? I guess that will depend somewhat on where people are staying? I was thinking it might be a good idea to actually drive some of the roads beforehand to make sure that they're open and also check they're not in use by a cycling event or the like. It's probably worth a mention that e85 availability is non existent in the hills. I'm not sure how accurate this is but I bought some from Pooraka about 3 years ago.

I will. For now, it's my bed time so I'll return at 6:30 am ish when my flamin kids get up and climb into bed with us. Ni night all. I'm looking forward to the most epic cruise route SA has seen.

Ah hahaha I'll back track my most epic and weird drives and make sure there is at least a couple of bridges and dams thrown in. I can definitely provide guidance in this area. I'd also like to think about a couple of areas where we can safely and legally give our cars some stick without acting like hoons.

I'm not sure what's in where but something is in somewhere. I wanna at least drive a one way trip on Corkscrew road if not do a uey at the bottom and head back up then head to cherryville for a little run up and down fernhurst road. I'll compose a trip suggestion tomorrow.

Lol ok then it's me. Insert worst comment in the world about k31th "here". I had to delete my real comment cos it made me feel bad from the the nasty truth of it.

Heh brb installing this in my na 5.0 vn exec. Should have hectic gains.

Ewww Edit: Can I watch from a non ohmo distance?

It could be. Perhaps the stock traction control could be tuned to suit a street situation? I don't know as I haven't tried. Following that I haven't spent enough time reading the manual to make an opinion and even then it would just be an educated guess. Jet has posted a couple of examples. Maybe he has had some form of experience with this product? Edit: I assume there would be a valid reason (ie stock system is incapable) people use this product rather than a stock ford pcm for boost control.

Not long now. Hang in there

and

I should have added a sarcasm tag. Bro you are definiately a puffwagon and can come and cuddle your "godkids" any time you want.

Skids?

I haven't used it so I can't describe it first hand. I did do some tentative research and it seems that it could add another level of logging/tuning to a vehicle. Data logging is already covered through other methods and obviously boost control has been too. From my very brief read it seems that this unit has a superior ability to fine tune and control a boost curve with input from primary, self contained, input provided data that hasn't been translated from another application. Is this even necessary when we can already log data and control boost through the various commonly used ecu configurations? Are there issues controlling boost through current methods that this could surmount? Personally I can tune by feel/experience and have no need of any boost data to tune my street car. This would be the case for many commercial tuners too I would hope and could remove any need for this product or one like this. While I can appreciate a stand alone unit such as this I also wonder how practical it would be for the Ford community considering that the stock boost control in our cars is sufficient for 99% of applications? In summary, with no first hand contact and no gauge of the quality of the hardware or software (I didn't download it for a play yet) but with faith that it works as described, I'm leaning toward it being overkill for a street driven xr6 application but may have some valuable input to drag or circuit racing. As always, I'm just a puffwagon and may not know my arse from a hole in the ground. Edit: The manual.

Well furk.

Between this thread and the bullsh*t on the other one it sounds like high school bickering. Wtf? Ok fair enough start a thread cos start a thread, valid point. No problems here. Because someone tuned a car with high hp that has rpm on the x axis is a reason to start a thread???? Who gives a fark? I'm actually with ya Arron with the rpm thing, not that it means anything, apart from having to extrapolate it yourself from road speed, but I'd just prefer it with rpm. Not to have a go at you bud but the original post was vague as fark and then you change lanes by saying that you misled us about the turbo specs. I try to get along with people but what the fark is in the water in W.A lately?

Have a look on page 42. It's called tps rate of change. This particular part of the haltech is used for fuel tuning. I've spent a lot of time tuning this part of the ecu to get perfect throttle manners and engine characteristics whether ice cold or at operating temp. Lol the missus and neighbours must have loved me cos to tune this part you basically sit there and stab the throttle a few hundred times while watching your afr's.

Back pressure? Isn't that when some asian chick walks up your back to crack it?

They have fuel at the Churchill road store.
