This is what it's all about. If your into cars, what your actually into is solving problems. Sometimes you make the problems, then you get to solve em :-)
For a 99% stock car, with what's considered an 'overpriced overkill' ecu upgrade. It's all but paid for itself already by you being able to do this kind of thing in the software at home rather than spending money going to a tuner every time you make a small modification
It probably hasn't paid for itself yet - eventually it will! But the convenience and tinkering ability is fantastic. Plus you can always take it with you to a new car so long as it runs the Barra loom.
Let this be an example for all those out there that think being a mechanic today is easier than it was in the 70s. "The computer tells them everything nowadays".... Like dicks it does 😅 Any true mechanical issue will not throw a fault diagnosing it, and electrical issues normally provide a fault that points in the right direction. I love how you're honest in your videos and show the hole journey. I'm a mechanic and I watch a lot of videos where everything just works. This is the reality of doing anything for the first time.
That’s absolutely smooth running and very quiet it least doesn’t sound like a hoons car! But can say the motor sounds different with after market ECU and hear the air flow from turbo is smooth! least you figured it out. Congratulations! Next up a test drive!
Good one Shaun I had confidence in you to rectify the problem, I take my Barra for granted at times they sound great at idle and of course higher revs also. Tony
This is amazing software.I think ForScan has function to recode injectors if you replace one on some vehicle withouth recoding parts car wont be able to start,but Ford Falcons injectors can be removed and replaced withouth recoding and ECU will recognise them.
To me it makes sense. It'd just die in the ass after a second or two and there was nothing you could do about it. The dead time figures of the stock injectors were a lot less, so the ECU would be opening them for less time thinking the fuel was beginning to spray almost twice as quick as it really was.
Ooh she runs like a dream! Glad you found the problem. Sounds awesome. If I were to guess what that Engine Position code is all about, I would say it logged the fault while stumbling, in your footage the engine spun backwards then forwards a few degrees when it finally came to a stall, and maybe the Haltech wasn't expecting that unusual input from the crank position sensor. That's just my guess though, I'm just glad to see the car up and running, can't wait to see it tuned!
Im so keen for the end results of this car !! As ive mention in previous vids its the excact same as my ba but in mercury, mines blaze 1 of 24 cars or so they so on my build sheet 🤣
i was literally about to say injector dead times but i just read the comment saying someone else said that kek. Injector dead times are generally measured in ms afaik and scale with battery voltage too meaning you need more dead time for less voltage
@@MotoringBoxTV yeah man it's something that's easily overlooked too. Having that engine code probably didn't help either. But yeah the injector doesn't have the same power to open and close at say 12v as it does at 14v, so it's the dead times job to keep the fuel flow and control the same regardless of voltage, which varies as you found out from injector to injector. They also vary for fuel pressure as well as obviously the latency of an injector affects the total fuel delivered to the cylinder during a cycle of the injector being fired.
Sounds so good and smooth! Just curious. If it has a wastegate on it would you be changing the spring rate to allow for more boost(I'm mot sure if I am correct in saying this)?
Hi mate , thanks heaps for every single video you do , just question, I can see you did upgrade to your fuel pump and injector and ecu, and big intercooler and aluminium radiator, so now you waiting for tune, do you think if I do what you did, do i have to upgrade valve springs and turbo?, or should be fine to keep original valve springs and turbo, thanks again
Hmmm I could, it's pretty easy though in truth. The hardest part is taking the crossover piece off (which I've shown before a few times). You pretty much just have to look at how the stock BOV is plumbed in, then just remove it and install the new one in the same way.
@@MotoringBoxTV Argh I was hoping you didn't have to remove the crossover lol.. I do like how the BOV's are quite concealed on the BA's though.. makes the defect a little harder to find. Did you have any problems with full throttle gear changes ? I hear the ECU is expecting air back into the intake but when it's vented it creates a rich possible misfire ?
I wouldn't have thought an atmosphere BOV would affect a car like the XR6T because the map sensor is right in the intake manifold just before the air goes into the engine. The BOV is releasing pressure that builds up in the intake pipe when the throttle body slams shut... air which hasn't even reached the manifold yet. So whether it releases that air back into the start of the intake, or out into the atmosphere... the engine and the ECU wouldn't see any difference. On cars that have a MAF sensor right at the start of the air intake (before the turbo) would definitely be affected by this - the R34 GTT I used to own had that issue. But the BOV I have is a plumbed in one and doesn't vent to atmosphere.
@@MotoringBoxTV they leak under boostages. Hence tuners remove them and block them off. Have had this done on several of my barra turbos. Unless you run a race series bov etc. The back pressure through the filter sounds cool too 🤙 The block offs are 25mm rubber chair feet from Bunnings and a hose clamp! Works perfectly

Well diagnosed the idle sounds so smooth. This is still one of the best channels on TH-cam.
It's beautiful mate. The first start was impressive as you could hear how the rev's progressively settled down as the Haltech refined the idle.
Congratulations to "Michaels Carport" who was the only bloke in the comments to guess what it was!
Purring like a kitten now!
This is what it's all about. If your into cars, what your actually into is solving problems. Sometimes you make the problems, then you get to solve em :-)
The journey is always more enjoyable than the end.
Yup!
I love chucking some music on and tinkering with my car in the garage. It's bloody satisfying time.
That engine sounds so happy. Kudos dude.
Yes she's loving it. Not a single pop or miss.
I wouldn't have guessed that. Well done to your subscriber. Barra sounds real smooooth. Job done real well
For a 99% stock car, with what's considered an 'overpriced overkill' ecu upgrade.

A Haltech Nexus R5 is probably a bit overkill.

I love it man, you really made this car your own, despite what the haters say. keep on doing what you do.
Good on you mate , you've come a long way , don't need to label yourself as a noob
Awsome got it sorted man bet ya happy u got that ecu that u can check everything on ya lap top great stuff looking forward to next video on this beast
Well done Sean a great repair I did wonder if it was fuel starvation but wasn’t 100% that engine is sounding sweet now

The dead time figures of the stock injectors were a lot less, so the ECU would be opening them for less time thinking the fuel was beginning to spray almost twice as quick as it really was.
Nice running sweet
Thanks for that information mate.
Love this channel!
We always learn as we go mate! Good job!

I am enjoying very much your progress✌️🙏. Keep it up👍✌️
cant wait for the next video wanna see what you think of the upgrade
Im so keen for the end results of this car !! As ive mention in previous vids its the excact same as my ba but in mercury, mines blaze 1 of 24 cars or so they so on my build sheet 🤣
Can see old mate. She's alive.........SHE ALIVE. Good job buddy.
She sounds amazing. Once she is tuned, hopefully you can drive her and maybe take her to the track.
Sounding nice...better than my ba/Sr...I am envious:
Thank you for the update

Good video was a mini around I have the same model
Nice one ! Tyre shredding in no time !
It's all learning nate.
Yup!
Well done, mate!
Great work, if feels good when you’re able to repair a fault like that
You should consider Scott aka Tuning Fork from Haltech he tune using Volumetric Efficiency
So glad you got you problem sorted. 👍 I will say that most of this $hit is way above my pay grade. 🤣
Sounds so good and smooth! Just curious. If it has a wastegate on it would you be changing the spring rate to allow for more boost(I'm mot sure if I am correct in saying this)?
Awesome Sean! Thank Fuck it was such an easy fix!!!
Certainly a weight off my shoulders that's for sure.
For someone who is not a trained Mechanic, you certainly know you’re stuff!
Hi mate , thanks heaps for every single video you do , just question, I can see you did upgrade to your fuel pump and injector and ecu, and big intercooler and aluminium radiator, so now you waiting for tune, do you think if I do what you did, do i have to upgrade valve springs and turbo?, or should be fine to keep original valve springs and turbo, thanks again
Original turbo and valve springs are fine up to around 15psi.
Sounds awesome tho
Can't wait for the the KFC runs when it's all done!
Incorrect dead time= Danger to Manifold!
We always see your cars parked in the garage but what about your missus? Does she have a maad car too? 😁
It's the opposite of mad 😁
I wish you did a BOV install tutorial. I'm thinking about getting the same one as you and there aren't really any videos of BA BOV installations :/
Hmmm I could, it's pretty easy though in truth. The hardest part is taking the crossover piece off (which I've shown before a few times). You pretty much just have to look at how the stock BOV is plumbed in, then just remove it and install the new one in the same way.

Tune it with someone who's got a good reputation at least. Hopefully they'll cut you a little deal for the exposure.
