There are some very nice clicking noises, and we're fairly sure they're just from the special lifters

Cam run-in in progress Looks like the injectors were a bit clogged. We ended up putting some petrol in the intake with a syringe, and off she went, and then started running better and better 20240306_190442_1.mp4

Well, it arrive yesterday. Just tried my first scan, to keep with the Land Rover theme, I scanned my Lego Defender. Used it connected via USB-C to my Surface Pro 8 for now, will try later with the WiFi bridge, as the cable did get in the way a bit. No special prep was done, just turned on the light above the dining room table. I'd say that's pretty good for a first attempt!

It sounds a lot like the dead oil pump I had on my 4HP24, worked for a little bit until the oil was warm, then no drive anymore.

Are you sure it was overfilled and not just pressurised? I had a shower of ATF like that when my breather was clogged.

Yeah, precisely this is why I ordered a scanner. It should be delivered today, might get to try it out on the car soon.

I know, it's like the anti-megasquirt-installation. Normally they don't want to idle, this one wants to do nothing but. The only popping we've ever heard was at the first start attempt, so I doubt it's backfiring at all. But you never know, normally we should have all the ignition stuff figured out now, but yeah...

Those are still on, only disabled acceleration enrichment because it was stalling when applying the throttle.

Ah! That's closer, 21.8 for a 4.6 and 23.6 for a 5L. Still not the same as the friend's 4.6, but worth a try anyway.

MAP on idle is around 40-50. Goes high very quickly even with small throttle opening though. Just tried doing a REQ_FUEL calculation. The Bosch injectors should be 137 g/min (so ~137 cc/min?), 5L engine, gives a REQ_FUEL of 30.6... which is very far off the ~18.0 we've been trying, which is the value we got from a friend's 4.6 with the same injectors 😕

TPS is working and calibrated. The problem already occurs at ~4% TPS, barely feathering the throttle with half a toe. Hence why we disabled all of that. Only effect is that now it's hunting a bit instead of idling smoothly. We also tried fixing the spark angle, but that only made it a bit harder to start, no effect on the cutting out. And to reiterate, this isn't a stumble. It doesn't recover. The moment you touch the throttle, it dies. We can't get it past idle at all, hence we can't do the cam run-in. It felt to us like it was getting a face full of fuel, hence why we tried with disabling the AE. We'll try throwing a bunch of extra fuel at it, but I have my doubts about that tbh. We had one plug out and it smelled a bit wet. But it also barely ran, so who knows. The exhaust is definitely not eye-watering.

Yes, but you often come out more confused than when going in. Not the best video, but a bit of motivation at least - this was the first proper start and running for more than a few revolutions yesterday It all sounds pretty good at idle, so I don't think the issue is timing related, but on the other hand, maybe it is... 20240303_172050.mp4

Hence *since* SAP It's better, but only marginally. My main gripe is that it's all scattered around, full of abbreviations, some stuff saves automatically and some stuff you need to burn explicitly, ... It's just needlessly a pain in the butt. And the documentation sucks.

We're very well aware, and that's been our goal from day 1. The issue is it dies the moment you look at the throttle (as in, 4% throttle and it stalls). Overall I don't think it's ran for more than a minute combined, so it should still be ok. We've now disabled the AE (I think) and the lambda correction (I think). We've moved the req fuel up and down with little effect (which should be the same effect as moving the whole map, right?). The timing of #1 has been re-verified (ballpark, as we don't have exact marks, but should be close enough). None of this is made easier with TunerStudio being quite possibly the worst piece of software I've laid eyes on since SAP, but I digress. I've attached a log where the problem is very visible (feathering the throttle as best I could), as well as some of the MSQs we've been using. The "worse" is when we disabled as much as possible, and then it started hunting before dying. Also attached that log now. Not sure where to go from here, part of me wants to somehow bench test this thing and re-verify that spark is happening correctly and such. A wideband might help, but with only a few seconds of idling I doubt it'll tell us much. 2024-03-03_18.24.54 playing with accel enrichment.msq 2024-03-03_20.34.56 worse.msq CurrentTune.msq 2024-03-03_20.15.22 dead on throttle.mlg 2024-03-03_20.29.41 hunting.mlg

Bonnet height in case it makes the vehicle higher. For example on the P38 the bonnet in service mode (straight up) is a good bit higher than the roof.

... then the internet lied to me as well But you're right, inputting it correctly it gives this:

Would it be an option to check with D60 aftermarket gear manufacturers (Yukon and such) if they can just cut you a custom pinion before it gets sent out for heat treating?

I'm guessing that comes from some non-metric-knowing American that just threw ft*in into google... It's just 46 Nm.

I've tried photogrammetry before, without much luck. Structured light adds a much needed element to the process that just pictures can't really provide. Budget-wise, if this thing saves me a couple hours of faffing about, it'll be paid back (if I work instead, that is ).

I'll definitely post up I have an S22+, which should be fine for it. But realistically I think I'd be using either my big laptop (that has Fusion on it), or my Surface (for portability). We'll see.

That's what I've been doing. But when there's half an hour+ between where you're modelling something, and the object you're measuring... it gets old really quickly to have forgotten a measurement. Or trying to balance 3 straight edges next to a tape measure. Or trying to figure out a compound curve. Yup, will definitely be double checking. But verifying a few simple to measure dimensions vs hours of mis-measuring, I know what I'd rather to. We'll see what it does, the Scan Ferret Pro is on its way from 3D Prima, including a can of the matte spray.

Yeah, I think I'll order a Ferret Pro, unless someone chimes in with a "OH HELL NO!" soon I haven't seen a reference to that limit yet, is that only for mobile or attached to a computer as well? The Einstar looks really good, but it's a good chunk more expensive than I feel like paying for it, and the required computer specs feel a bit painful, although I guess my big laptop could probably handle it - even though it's only an i7 7700k (top of the line in 2017...).

That's definitely good feedback! Probably would help to do it in multiple scans and not one big scan?

Well an iPhone costs more than one of these scanners, and I don't want an iPhone And from what I've found, the iPhone stuff is fairly low quality still, but probably already better than whatever hellscape photogrammetry produces. And all of it is no doubt more than enough to get some rough dimensions, an idea of what all is in the way of stuff, and getting some body lines. And maybe later some adapter plates and such. Been watching a few more review videos in the background today, really looks like the Creality Ferret Pro would be perfect for my use and what I'm willing to spend on it. I'll check out the Superfastmatt stuff as well, thanks.
