Alot more tables to modify or something, compared to the classic old xcal 3.. you tune the Territory yourself don't ya? Seen your post on the gears, holy hell that's far from ideal!

PCMTec does allow tuning of more tables than others, so in theory it can give a more refined tune. Yeah I've been the only one to touch my territory tune and so far it's worked out. Managed over 700awkw so far! I'm sure there a few other guys that can do the job, but no need if I can do it myself. Yeah man the whole oil pump failure sucks. I knew an oil pump body could fail but was hoping for the best....was not to be this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a southern Adelaide built motor so need to be delicate with it or she'll go bang! 🤣 I wouldn't know where to begin with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pm me if you want or need some help, I'll be happy to work with what you've got 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand it's near its limits for stock pistons being relatively safe, 17psi 98 and 21psi e85. It does have a wind band in the innovate ECB-1 gauge Been looking online at the J2534 cables you can use with PCMtec but yeh it's all over my head. I'd be better off paying the tuner for their time and knowledge By the time I buy the cable, the credits, and the software. I was watching a mate play with the tune on his AU XR6T the other day with a haltech PCM, and that was way over my head. Might need to do some research/reading up.. One thing I would love is my car to do E85 cold starts as good as my VF Calais 6ltr does them! But that's a car tuned for it from the factory too I guess!

Puffwagon Puff Gold Donating Members 15,972 Member For: 9y 10m 19d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 07/11/21 12:57 AM Share Posted 07/11/21 12:57 AM I guess it depends if you want to learn to do it yourself. There is a lot to learn but once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad. For example with the e85 cold start, I can tell you a table to change and it would likely start perfectly with just one or two changes. You would probably still need to do something so it drives out the driveway straight away after starting, without coughing etc, but once again that is just a minor change to another table. If you do decide to go that way I'll be happy to give you pointers so you can get a handle on things quicker. You can get a demo of PCMTec so you can get familiar with it before purchase. I use the Tactrix cable and it's still going strong after a couple of years, just be sure to get a genuine one, not an ebay knockoff. There is a lot of info over on their forum which I recommend having a good read of. There is a how to section that has made life a million times easier for beginners.

I'm going to be at The Bend on the 18th dec, I'm guessing the terry will be running in a new engine then? I'm guessing at min you would of bent a few valves?

It has touched the valves but nothing looks bent, I'll pull the valves out and check them eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skotty Member 52 Member For: 10y 11m 4d Posted 21/11/21 09:31 AM Author Share Posted 21/11/21 09:31 AM Took the old boosted lounge suite for a quick burn today! Nothing like going for a drive on a nice day, sunroof open, windows down, and some good tunes! 330km later for what was meant to be a 60km trip and I was home again! God I love this car! it's the oldest, highest mileage car in the fleet (316,xxx on the shell) here but its also the #1 fave! Also got a seat base bracket for the a fire extinguisher too, since the car has had a boot fire before 😮 at AFF Drag nats in 2018.. And tucked up in the shed, sleeping with its enemy/stable mate, the mighty L77 6ltr V8 of course! best of both worlds. Going to put it into daily duties for a few weeks and keep a eye on a coupe of quirks and hopefully its all good now! Also put a optima yellow top D34 battery in it the other day too, so will see how that goes... Seems to start a bit easier but my old battery was about 4 or 5 years old and had been ran dead flat a few times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skotty Member 52 Member For: 10y 11m 4d Posted 03/12/21 08:43 AM Author Share Posted 03/12/21 08:43 AM (edited) Thought I was on a winner with this oil consumption issue... But nope - still shocking.. half the OK section for 600km with a bit of a flogging in there.. But once again from all accounts of people around me it doesn't blow smoke.. Although it does occasionally on startup and first take off of the day, valve stem seals were done back in January over this; unless I ballsed up and I ❤️ Bananased them... Does anyone have a rough idea how much oil the "ok" part of the stick is? As in 800ml-1L? For what it's worth the turbo intake is pretty well dry and the intake manifold is nice and dry too so IDK Edited 03/12/21 08:47 AM by skotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
