Results are in - The Oil blockage has been cleared :D
Did some logging in I Mode cruising then thrashed in Sport# for a little with some quick turns then back to cruise. VVT Angles remained in sync! and Advanced at cruise and spool!

Took the car down for some Dyno power runs, i had a couple of pre done ROM's that i could load in as quick as i could to see the differences.
In the below pic Green = I Mode, Red = S# and Pink = S# (ROM 2)

S# ROM2 i had added 10% Initial WGDC Between 2700 and 4500 and Raised MAX WGDC respectively. This was done purely for my own knowledge to see what was happening, results showed that low end power had raised accordingly and kept boost basically flatter than previously.

I have also made a few adjustments to my DBW S# table the X axis was initially scaled from 0 to 50 for lots of PUNCH and to make the throttle happy (Pun intentional HAHA). The Auto would down change heaps when just touching the peddle this felt like too much stress on things for my liking. I instead scaled it 0 to 75 it's alot less harsh on the auto and when in full auto mode driving in S# makes it alot easier to predict what gear its going to choose if i go from cruising to speeding up to overtake, also makes the Exhaust note easier to predict as i'm not going from cruising at 10% throttle to 100% throttle from just resting my foot on the pedal. Bit less wanky in morning traffic :)

Niiice, my preference is for throttle pedal as boost controller/SI drive for 3x boost limits and as little throttle angle changes per mode as possible. (Thanks Matt!)

Cheers mate! It Was great to finally meet some of you Lib guys and see your cars in person :)

Update: I had been getting phantom knock at light load and only when engine is cold:
Here are some of my Logs with Knock at Light load when Engine is Coldish. You can see how timing is pulled and then IAM reduced as the ECU isn't happy;

Below you can see how once the engine has warmed up the knock has gone away and the ecu has restored IAM;

This Conditional Knock was only seen when the engine was cold, The problem was found to be my spark plugs were foul'd and hence when cold were creating a dodgy spark. :)

Soooooooooo I have been holding onto this news for about a week now......

On the same night i replaced the spark plugs i went for a test drive... I got two streets away from my house and crashed the car dodging a fox... :roll:

Insurance unfortunately deemed it a write off... as repair cost were too high...

Speechless.
Did you part anything, or will the car be auctioned as is?

The build was progressing well i know, I'm glad i got to prove what the Stock components were capable of :)

Haha When the insurance assessor called me to say its a total loss, i literally went silent for a minute.... But unfortunately they chose to pay me out in full and send the car to the auctions as it was more economical for them... Oh well someone else will gain so much from that car, plenty of healthy parts.

when we go into a build you can never plan for such situations, it happens, thankfully your ok, and good luck with your next journey.

was your car insured as a stock car or they covered mods as well?
