Very nice to see the AU up and running with the Haltech, love that the auto still shifts just the same! I liked the explanation & animation about the wasted spark ignition system, I've tried to explain it to people before and it goes over their head - maybe it's just the way I'm explaining it to them. Keep up the good work, keen to see where the project goes next!
They’re the cockroaches of cars, if a nuke was to hit, the only cars left would be the AU falcon, bloody unkillable! My mates has done over 800k on the original motor and gearbox, yeah all the clear-coat is gone, but hasn’t let him down in 22 years.
@ I will say, he does a full service every 6 months, and drives like an old lady, so yeah, he’s looked after the mechanicals , pity it looks like crap, he’s aiming to reach the million mark before he retires it, and trust me, he will never sell it, kept it through 3 marriages (he’s a man s**t). Gotta love his commitment.
Those idle trims are for the duty cycle for tbe IAC - e.g. to meet the idle speed target. Idle fuel is just from the relevant load/rpm cells in the fuel tables you were looking at.
Awesome work. I have been spekaing to Bill to get me a patch harness for a 93 XG i will run with a Haltech 550, for a turbo conversion. Love the series, great content
Nice. The 550 should handle it well, from what I can see you'd have to batch fire the injectors (only 4 injector channels available) but everything else should be similar to what I'm doing.
Good to see the Haltech install went well and that everything, for the most part, is happy! Glad it hasn't been too painful for you mate! Love the work you're doing with the cars! I can't wait for the next installment of the Fairmont! Keep up the great work!!
17:15 - I think it's important to note that Haltech calculates a weighted average of the four closest cells to the intersecting point of the X/Y load inputs (e.g. MAF and RPM). You can see shortly after when the cursor is in the middle of four cells, and all of them are being adjusted, again weighted by their "distance" from the cursor. I'm actually working on my own engine management system, and this is the kind of stuff that really only the people making an ECU realise, everyone else just takes it for granted. There truly is more than meets the eye with these things.
you can run it in "Semi-Sequential" this it technically identical to the wasted spark for the injectors, 1-6,5-2,3-4 injectors will fire. But each injector has its own channel.
It's always great when a plan comes together and works how it (mostly) should.... And you can't go into aftermarket engine management systems without being nerdy numbers because that's how computers think, so that's how they have to run engines.
Hey mate, you should if you can, word things a bit differently with your electrical descriptions so that it doesn't sound like a guide. There's a lot going on that'd be bad to teach people, bad habits and incorrect practice. Love your videos, entertaining and interesting. Good storyteller. Thanks for sharing what you do.
Full credit to you on this project. However as a personal opinion I would have preferred if you had just left it standard since it was such a nice car to start with.
Agree, Sean has certainly learnt alot and that's great, however on a stock car ...h.mmmm? Maybe get himself a dedicated car and just experiment. I know he watches Scotty's garage and his current 12 sec challenge would sit well with this au?
It has two main functions - short term learning & long term learning. How it works is at any given RPM & engine load, it'll look at the o2 sensor to know if the engine is running rich (too much fuel) or lean (not enough fuel). The short term trim reacts to this sensor data instantly and adjusts the fuel mixture as you drive to ensure it remains perfect. The long term fuel trim monitors these changes and essentially 'makes a note' of it, so that it can be applied next time. So eventually your short term trim will be doing almost nothing, as the long term trim would contain all of the adjustments that it has learnt over time. If none of that makes sense Haltech has a brilliant video on their UA-cam channel!
Also good to have a straight road if a uphill to get good data for a base line and then work 10 20 30% Etc throttle maps, if not dyno steady states, but you can drive it for a week, blend it, after a month you should have most of the changes needed so you don't get a surprise out of cell spot. Any more then say 20-30 change is good to add the change the base map. Most cars from around the early 2000s have Short and Long term trims from the factory, too, but they don't make changes to the base tables. That is why some cars can run a bit rough if you disconnect the battery for a while, as it needs to relearn the changes to the local conditions, but if you make a change to the vehicle, that may be what you need.
@@MotoringBoxTV Thanks mate. So essesntially you could just keep driving the car and each week commit the learning changes and it should keep tuning itself more and more perfectly?
did you have to ask bill specifically for the wideband and trigger system to be put in the patch harness or were those included? i’m doing the same process as you for my au aswell
He'll need the details yeah. Running a wideband is pretty much a given, but the trigger system is important to decide what you're going to do. In my case I knew I needed a triple channel igniter and he was able to make a loom to suit and everything just plugged in.
hey carlos, so i normally make the patch looms to suit cam sync, this harness was wired for it but i pinned the cam sync incorrectly. the canbus plug is also wired to suit wideband on all of my patch looms without the need to add in the exta power/ground from haltech.

The AU's long legs just grew even longer. A great country road cruiser. Well done.

Great explanation of the cylinder positions/processes...I'm an engine gumby so that was really interesting/useful!
These videos are going to be very helpful when I install a e750 in my AU!
It's actually pretty simple when you've got all the info - which hopefully I've provided 😁
Cruising smoothly! Great out come Sean!
Great to see the AU getting some love. Been most impressed with your work and diagnostic abilities - must be a rewarding journey
great to see the AU back in action, can't wait for the rest of the build to continue
You changed my mind on AU falcons (looks), i actually find them really good looking now. Great job!

I'm doing the same thing to my ef and can't wait to get the haltech going
Sooooo keen to hear the straight 6 SOHC dose!

Yeah that's true! Looking at the output figure above and seeing how it sits in relation to the cell values is always interesting.
Congrats, what a fantastic result. Well done!!!!👌
Great job Sean!!!; 👏👏
Excellent! I was literally just thinking about your Fords yesterday!👍👍
Good job mate. Nice to see it Turn out well ford have always made a very good straight 6’s to be honest.
you can run it in "Semi-Sequential" this it technically identical to the wasted spark for the injectors, 1-6,5-2,3-4 injectors will fire. But each injector has its own channel.
Nice video!😁
Awesome work💯🔥

A Turbo Falcon on the streets of Chicago? Who would have thought! (Love your background music choice Sean!)
What a legend!

so when does your right foot get an all expenses paid trip to the floor? lol

Fair point. I'll be gentle with it.

Haha, I spent over 2k on parts a long time ago.
Nice work mate. A bit of tweeking and the other mods and she'll be sweet 😎
Can you explain in more detail how the learning mode works?

@@leoncarlier yep that's it.
Well done mate. Video audio was a little quiet fyi.
Hey mate was just looking at the links and I cannot view the base map you have put up at all be awesome if you could get back to me🤟🏼

Sweeeick 😃🤘
Doesn't the home position come from the Crank position sensor?
Trigger signal is the crank sensor, Home signal is the cam sensor.
I just remembered the cam position sensor is in the back of the head.
The previous E-series models used a sendor in the old distributor location.
Luckily Haltech have all the configuration data for the distributor models too, so it is pretty easy to set up.
did you have to ask bill specifically for the wideband and trigger system to be put in the patch harness or were those included? i’m doing the same process as you for my au aswell

hey carlos, so i normally make the patch looms to suit cam sync, this harness was wired for it but i pinned the cam sync incorrectly. the canbus plug is also wired to suit wideband on all of my patch looms without the need to add in the exta power/ground from haltech.
