@BobCross you needed to click harder

hahah thanks paul i was certainly a little frustrated at that thread, Anyone here use ecumaster or in the off chance mess with a 1jz vvti?

@BobCross It's like the tale of the expert called in to fix a machine in a factory - he comes in, looks at it for a few minutes, then hits it with a hammer, at which point it starts working. He presents a bill for $100, and the factory owner gets angry - "all you did was hit it with a hammer"

So he presents a revised, itemised bill - "Hitting with hammer: $5. Knowing where to hit: $95"

@BobCross I like telling folks my job these days is to go and listen to people and occasionally talk to them :-)

Because that is the visible part

@RoryAlsop i was talking to my intern the other day, explaining to her that this job is weird in that it really shines a spotlight on the fact that it isn't possible to learn this stuff from school or a YouTube video. I had to critically evaluate a [device] the other day that they certainly didn’t teach me about in doctor school. You have to learn how to learn!

@BobCross Yeah - I think my foot slipped slightly. I'm taking it to a real dyno on March 2nd; I'll get some better numbers then (duh). Still going back and forth with the tuner to work some things out, but it's a slow process.

Log, send files, wait for them to tweak the tune and send me new calibration, flash, log, wash, rinse, repeat.

It's a bit of a pain to get the laptop secured in the car, go find a cop-free place to do a few WOT runs, etc.

The redline is set at 6750. Peak power should be around 5800, but I didn't do the 4th gear pull correctly. When I get it straightened out it'll probably show 200HP instead. :)

@BobCross @Martin That site is awesome. I love this part:

"And I don't care about "common usage." Common usage is just plain wrong and the fact that too many people are too illiterate to know any better doesn't make it right. You do not get to redefine words just because you're too lazy to use them correctly."

Time to go capture some logs. Y'all have a good day.

@3Dave Yeah, I like that site. Too bad some of the binaries got lost when he transferred his page from the university site.

Should I find the peace, courage and right words I'll write him a mail, asking him about the missing files

Pro tip: be clear and brief in what you want. He has a whole smackdown about Big Word people. 😉
