Well, you won't save too much dosh this way - uses more petrol, more wear'n'tear on the gearbox, more wear'n'tear on the driveline.

Thank heavens you're in Perth:rolleyes: One less idiot to look out for.

The guy is racing on the fu(king streets:mad: And we're endorsing his actions.

Next he'll come whingeing to us that the police have confiscated his car, and he wants our advice as to how to get out of trouble.

No....

The power button makes the car hold gear until redline before shifting up, but if your foot is on the floor it does this anyway.

Turn overdrive OFF for more power. As it uses a lower ratio of gears. Overdrive is different between auto & manual and should be left ON for day to day driving to save petrol.

I see no mention of street racing anywhere in his post's. For all we know it could have been a sealed road on a private farm.

No one is endorsing street racing. I can see your point, but please leave openly hostile comments for PM.

mre .. if u do that then u are just wasting petrol ... there is a hige difference with the OD on or off ... for me anyways ... its like 800rpm or something like that ... thats heaps!!! plus its quieter and the engine is doing less work so i would assume its better for it ... so from the info above ... i gather there is no difference in power or OD?? theres a mistake somewhere in here ...

the POWER button wont change gear until you get MUCH higher revs than without it!!

the OVERDRIVE button is for when you are cruiseing like 80+ on freeway etc....

this is comming from me in a R33 auto non trubo hehe so i do what i can to get the most outa the car lol

They way I see it these motors are built to rev.

Buy driving with OD on under 80k's mine sits on or under 2000rpm's is always changing up and down.

I recon its easier on the Auto box and the motor.

Have not really notice much difference in petrol use.

thanks for the help guys. ive always wondered about those overdrive and power buttons:)

now i can street race and ram other cars off the road... haha.. na im just joking... just trying to stir..hhee... i like everyone else ONLY ever race on my private runway on my private farm, which i fly out to on weekends in my helicopter, which folds out of a suitcase, which i keep under my bed(like everyone else OF COURSE!).. hehe... :(

whoa... im glad that embarrassment is pretty much over:D hehe.

thanks

justin:)

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
