T.Renshaw34 - Project Liberty - JDM SPEC B FRONT END!

[Da4sti3]

Bigger sway bars again didn't u just put new underbody stuff not long ago or was that not sway bars?

[t.renshaw34]

Yea going up from 22mm to 25mm.

The rear will be on 25mm but the front will be 23 or 24. Working on getting some really nice turn in.

I put another 4mm of preload on my coilovers this week and have been playing around with that after work during the week and that has helped.

The suspension stuff I did a month or so ago was the first part of my underbody bracing. There are two more braces that I want to get but they can wait. The difference was like coilovers vs billies.

Hey Taylor, that 25mm rear swaybar...is it solid or hollow?

[t.renshaw34]

both front n rear are solid .

[Dropz]

This cars gonna under steer so awesome. Can't wait to strip it out and get a roll cage in it.

[blacktop™]

both front n rear are solid .

Cool, they both 25mm?

Yes but have adjusters so they can act as anything from a 22mm up to a 25mm. So that you can set the car up to under steer/over steer and anything in between.

Update:

Tuning with Matt went well last weekend until the ECU decided to brick on us.

Both S&J and Nistune here in Adelaide couldnt unbrick it so the ECU is out of the car and up at chiptorque in Queensland getting unbricked.
we got up to 185kwatw on 16psi before it bricked. Matt thinks it should make 215kwatw on 19-20psi.

Some people thought it bricked up from being flashed to many times. This wasnt the case. The ecu has only been flashed 40-50 times.

I had a very long in depth convo with Sean from S&J about this issue while be was attempting to unbrick my ECU.
He has flashed some ECU's over 200 times with no issues at all. both using ecutek and open source.

ECU will be back in on Monday and we can go from there.

How long is Matt in town? If yours is totally stuffed you may be able to convince me to sell my ecu. V3/4 Jdm Sti ecu

[t.renshaw34]

Matts already gone. He left yesterday lunch time.

Seans already got me a replacement if I need it . I wouldnt think yours would fit in mine would it? even the postface ecus dont work in a preface. 32bit vs 64bit

but we are all fairly confident that it will just need to be unbricked and then good to have the tune loaded back onto it.

[Dropz]

Devo so you gonna finish it remotely?

[t.renshaw34]

The tune is done up to 16psi. Matt is coming back down early Jan. so I'm not sure. We are both not to keen on finishing it via email. That Works well for the few simple bolt on mods. (Dump, CAI, TMIC etc)

So i might leave it at 16psi (185kwatw) until January. Hopefully have the fuel system done by then to run E85 properly.

Early STi is Hitachi which will not control DBW

All post-face ECU's are 32bit as well, Subaru/Nissan/Mazda/GTR have never needed to use a 64bit Even the BRZ/86 and the upcoming new Liberty 2L Quad AVCS low mount twinscroll turbo engine is 32bit

Difference in post-face is CAN, which limits the ECU compatibility as CAN talks to everything else via CANBUS

Yeah, it bricked when the ignition was turned off hence why I suspect it was recoverable via EcuTek Took me while to go through the EcuEdit logs and work out how/why it happened Many thanks to Sean for the assistance

Atleast PLMS should have an unbricking bench setup for future now!

Yes massive shout out to Sean for all his help. Got the car towed 30km's for $120 for me. And is even baby sitting it down at SnJ until the ECU comes back from ChipTorque.


I thought I heard somewhere matt that the postface libs where a 64 bit and thats why you could fit a dual rom on them for E85 and 98. where the pre you could only fit one rom as they are 32bit. Or am I day dreaming again.
