I am pushin 500+ gee-gees now, and I not got Z32's on at the moment, but I am usin N1's plus other goodies @18psi. Next week I fittin the MAF's, and re-dyno-in her, should be interesting, the present Maf's are maxed out at the moment, but there appears to be a whole heap more under the hood to go at as yet. From what i know, you have to structure the way you tune the car, and each move will then compliment previous changes.

Like the man says... Dedicated Nav is best option, and no hassle from it. I got the 710 series-2, and it kix. It locked 2 times in time I've had it, and quickly sorted by pressin the re-set button. Anyone know if the "live traffic" part has been approved yet?

Try to do the belt ur self for $1k mate..!! Window, Mmmm, mine has a little silly session occasionally, but I think its a cable/connector issue. I'll let u try mine if you want to tho'.

C'est moi I think.

Same here, I could do with one too.

You need variable Pressure Reg for sure, especially if you're going to big injectors, you will max many things out, but dont let fuelling get weakened. You need to maintain, or maybe increase pressure at full whack.

Spec R is Dual, it is what I have running. Once you get to grips with using it, its quite easy too... AND easy to conceal in the ash-tray area.

True, the average inlet has soo many restrictions to air -flow. One way to prove the theory of restriction, if anyone would like to try it is this.. Place said mesh in way of air-flow, and see if it is pulled into the engine..!!, or better for the wallet, blow air at it, and see if you can move it, or do the maths for it. Work out its effective CSA, and then apply as a percentage, and then say it would not obstruct air-flow. Aaaanyway, we digress. Simple is easier flow of air, less twists and turns etc makes for better flow, no matter how you view it. I have seen it removed, and I have to say there was(to my interpretation, at high RPM, better flow... the dyno showed it as such. The reason I think it is there is to aid even distribution of air incoming as a whole, by which the sensor can get a more accurate representation, and to keep lumpy bits out too. However, I fail to see that a coating of molybdenum, or anything else will make it disappear. BTW, there are theorys about having a rough "Wall" to the inlet as being better for flow, rather than as we were lead to believe in the first place..!, look at Thorpeys swim-wear.! Over..

Hmm, never heard of this one. I had a CVH engined Ford. They said to squeeze them when immersed in oil, then install them. Fire the engine, and they will probaly rattle, some will clear up, some not. Let the engine idle to norm temp, then switch off. Leave 10-15 mins, then fire it up again, and they will be ok. I did this, and it was 100% true, all cleared, sounded good. If they are rattling still, there's something wrong, check your work, or oil type. Oil needs to be thin at ambient temperature, 20/xx usually caused the Fords to ratttle, as oil could not get to the top of the engine quick enough, thus the lifters didn't get enought oil at start time, so they rattled all the journey until stopped.

Here's my answer. From what I can remember, F1 cars have a choice of the turbo or not. They have a calculation for it, but am not entirely sure what it is.

Well... Never effected economy on mine, it was superb.... idle... beautiful am afraid, never a complaint from me. BUT, when it came to dyno time, one had the dreaded disease, so both were changed. There was merely a comment about the fact the mesh was missing, nothing more. My next point is they would flow more air by simple dynamics at WOT, can't be disputed this part though. (so air+fuel increase) My car before, did have abnormal power output when compared with a normal set-up, and no one could really say why... maybe..!! I have to go with M Dave, its to help spread the incoming charge more evenly I think. Basically, the air input is spread more evenly, and thus the charge can be gauged more accurately. BUT at WOT, it has to get in the way, thus restriction! Dark matter... probably cr@p in a more polite manner..!, but what happens when it eventually gets pulled in, but in bigger amounts as it becomes loosened by its sheer size/mass..??, do the turbos ignore this, 'cos its been through the 'Dark matter' filter? To remove, or not to remove, that is the question. For 'tis better at low to mid throttle openings, yet can get in the way at WOT. There, I had to have my say, feel better now.

+1 Topaz. Its true, the early RB26 blocks are the same as N1 blocks, better cooling, and oil-ways. Oh, and the casting is better, there's more "webbing/structural support on the block too. Have a look at the outside of them compared with l8r ones, or non-N1's Just what I know I suppose..!

Ah, as I postulated then, length of/distance from inlet or control device causes this phenomena then. Would it not be wise idea to stage from one end to the other therefore? If a external FPR is fitted, then would this alter effects a little, or accentuate it more? Another here is, or is it a known thing that cyl probs can, or are more likely to occur on the back cylinders therefore? Software. Is there any "Mileage" in the likes of myself purchasing it, how could I benefit in reality? Injectors. You say there is a variance no less, could this be sorted out by adding a % increase or decrease, if so, how would one account for this? Sorry to be a pain, but I got the GTR bug bad, and I am now trying to get to grips with it a little more.

Yeap, Me's in too. My animal needs to be documented, and photographed..!! Good place overlookin Botany Bay, with lights in distance etc..?

Guys, I think I'm getting alittle out of my depth here. I am new to the PFC I suppose, and read the writings with interest. As we are aware, there appears to be very little documentation on the said item in the first place..! I have to admit that my settings applied by the tuner are way different to the ones we are discussing here as well, I will nip down to my GTR, and write them in next posting for all to see, but mine are more like 90+ % from memory. I have a theory based upon what we say about the 5/6 increase though, and that it could be the coolant has travelled further, or the inlet trach distance is longer to these 2 cylinders. To be honest, neither theorems fit entirely, or it would be staged more accurately I guess. This "Lag" is what though?, am a little unsure of the significance of it, or what it actually does affect. ( I understand I and V relationship, but at 16v, is this not going to push safe limits of the rest of the car voltage-wise?) My guess is what I was considering shall we say. I am.. in the furture, considering O2 sensors closer to each individual ex port to actually see what is the plot per cylinder, rather than an aggregate figure that all are equal(we know this is not the case)... anyone done this to the RB26 yet? Next thing is this.. My car is in tuners tomorrow and Sat for next upgrade, and tuning. New Zorst complete(no cat-back, as causing restriction we feel at present, plus Z32s & filters. So, If I can get to car before it goes in Friday, I will get the before and afters from PFC comm. I note there is a lot of talk about the "Logit", can someone give me more info on this S/W etc. Just to summarise here. I get the impression that the correction flat figure is what one applies to correct pulse length on a standard car when one fits larger injectors at a guess. Soooo, if any changes are made, they are improvements on std ecu control.... BUT, as the engine ages etc, we can then apply a little more fuelling to suit changing conditions. Second thing.. is this lag bit... where is this documented? Third thing is LOGIT, what where why etc. I am now beginning to get the concept behind PFC now, and I suppose learning all the time. My guess about the variance is that we will have one hell of a task finding 6 identical injectors, I would like to see this..!!... same I suppose with MAFS too.! Interesting discussion guys. Forgive the odd bits of ignorance from my side though!

Hmmm..! someone butchered mine then..!! I guess there's theory here too... like not letting air enter the area un-distributed... sorta like spreading it out. When we dyno'd it, we went to replacements, as the MAFS were giving odd readings at times, but we could not pin-point it..!! Could be this metal grid that wasnt distributing air-flo 'more-evenly' Anyway, 'tis true, I kept them on. You have to remember that its not about how much air can enter, but what air can be metered accurately. I go with the "Leave it on" brigade. (plus theres the added benefit of "foreign body ingress" avoidance...!

Blitz.... the best in my opinion, ... Easy to use etc, and easy to conceal..!!, far better control with 2 solenoids..!

Best advice is if you are not entirely "Genned-up" on this, then dont do it. Bolt on bits change many things if you want the power... like fuel pressure, air density/fuel.. to boost and detonation.. Go to a professional mate... or risk the wallet being emptied whilst learning... Ooooother thing is if they pop the motor, they put it right again..! Too big injector without correction will over-fuel, but get that part wrong, you risk detonation/leaning out. Pump ok, but make sure the reg can be adjusted to suit application. Get a PFC, It works brill, then you can start to tailor it all correctly. It's the way I see it, personally..., you have to "Tweak" the car in a structured manner I think, it will make for a more tractable performance in the long-run.

In theory you will get better air-flow, mine were missing when I got my car, but everyone seems to be freaked about them missing, ... not sure why tho. Is there someone out there who can shine more light on this matter? I guess it is to stop debris entering the tracht, but if one is careful, then what diff would it make in reality?.. only better flow..!

Hey Saliya, Strange this, I have been studying the same thing last night, and tonight. My calculations show that we'd be better with 63 on the injector settings. I have been trying to work out the lag also, and from where can I glean any info on this factor. My car was set-up on a Dyno, and is going again on Friday for more of the same, as I have further upgrades etc happening then. Should be finished Saturday pm theoretically. (Going for the magic 400) I can read the settings from the commander for you if you want? Cheers, Rix.

If my ride is ok, I'll be there too, prob from start, live Roselands area. Should be good to get out to test her a bit. Rix

Hi guys, am looking to get hold a pair of Z 32 MAFs(Matching), does anyone have them for sale.. S/H GC, or new? Cheers.

Is it an all W/End thing then? How far is it from Sydders? So I guess am toooo late to have a go then this time. How far from Syds is it, and whats the cost to get in? How many going etc?. I kinda thinkin if its about on Sunday, my Line should be ok for then, So I might fly down there(depends on this nasty oil leak on fromt of the block) Sorry about all the Q's, but cant get access to the tube from work.

Ok, thx Peeps, I will have a look at it tonite when I get home... can't access from work am afraid. So, is everyone who is going, gonna have a shot at the events then, or is it spectator styled event too? R

Ok Guys, I know this may well be a dumb question... but as I am new here, will someone tell me exactly what this is all about? Yeap, newby all the way. Just to S-Line site tho, no ding when it comes to cars etc. Not had chance to go to any meets etc since I got the car, and became a pilot. Forgive me for getting in at last min will ya all. I gotta kno... DECA... ??! nothin to do with the Gym I guess? En-lighten me. PLZ
