I retuned the car again for an AFR of around 13:1 on WOT and left part throttle to figure itself out at 14.7:1.

Geez.. I dont know how you can get that much out of a litre. At most I can get from the full tank is 480kms till the fuel light comes on.

... my engine check light decided to rear its ugly face and give me the huge fright halfway through one of the sessions. .....

..... I quickly asked him if there would be any negative consequences to continuing to track with it to which he said "there shouldn't be", so I headed out again and set my fastest lap for the day. ...........

I could imagine how you would feel. I felt the same when it showed its ugly face. LOL. Wayne is right. There is no problem at all if it is just from the sensors, but the car will be running rich and the car will behave slightly different because too much fuel injected and the car always want to come to a halt as the rpm meter drops below 800.

I've actually now disabled the o2 sensor completely so that the ECU has no reading from it, which also disables the check engine light from showing up. Do you have an after-market ECU Rudi?

I haven't disable the knock sensor but I have cleared the code twice. I will however change the knock sensor and see what happen.

I have a stock ECU. I have been changing too much car parts recently that I don't want to get an aftermarket ECU just yet. There is no reliable tuner in Adelaide as well. So, I will wait till I move to Melbourne next year. *hint hint* LOL.

When you say disable knock sensor, are you referring to your primary o2 sensor?

As for tuning, if you take the time to learn how to tune a Kpro, it isn't very hard and depending on how serious you take it, you can achieve better results than some of these 'professional' tuners. I guess you'll have to wait to see what a ghetto backyard tune can achieve when compared to a professional tune.

If you decide to tune it yourself, I'm more than happy to point you in the right direction.

very nice Mugsee.

Thanks dude Will you be coming to Winton at the end of the month?

Mostly likely not as spots are full atm.

Yes tuning on a kpro isnt that hard. Know what the values mean and off you go. It'll take some time to get used.

Damn Mugsee!
Nice photos..

where was the carpark shot taken?
we should go for a photoshoot some time

Thanks buddy! The photos of my car were taken at Doncaster Shoppingtown.

Here are a couple of other shots that I took with ChargeR a while ago:

^wooooo camberrrrr

hey mugsee so you disabled the o2 sensor? the primary one ?

will this affect the car in any way?

what about knock sensor ?

For sure Mugsee, you have some mad skillz with the camera. I like the industrial feel of the bottom pic with the smoke plume in the background.

It's very underground street scene.

^wooooo camberrrrr

I'm hoping to do some hard parking soon with a bit of added camber although even with my current setup maxed out (additional camber bolt), I still won't be close to ChargeR's -4.5.

what about knock sensor ?

I've disabled the primary o2 sensor which reads the AFR, which feeds information back to the ECU and determines closed loop AFR. By disabling the sensor, my AFR is now undetermined (I think 13:1) during closed loop driving which results in crappy fuel ecconomy. It also means I can't see any AFR readings when I datalog.

I have not touched the knock sensor in anyway. The knock sensor and 'CEL flash when knocking feature' stays on all the time for me, unlike some other Hondata tuners who choose to disable it for their customers.

Thanks for the compliments!

I managed to take a series of photos with ChargeR but I didn't really like a lot of them, hence only posted two up. I'm still thinking about posting a couple more up.
