I'm doing the high end boost tune on my RB20DET tomorrow. The cars running a front mount intercooler, and 460cc injectors, Wolf ECU, and Garrett GT25 BB 400hp turbo. I'm aiming for 18lb for the first top end tune.

I expect i'll be runnign about 18-20 degrees advance at that boost level. I've currently got it soft at 15 degrees and there is no detonation and my AFR is 11.8:1 at full boost.

Does anyone have any ignition maps they might share with me to give me an idea of how far I can take the ignition?

Cheers,

Ian

What comp? What cams? What fuel? Have you dechamfered the head? What intake temps?

Stock compression, stock cams, BP ultimate, stock head, 35-38 degree intake temps. I've also got an 040 pump and am running 38 psi rail pressure, but will probably increase this to 50 to get a little more flow accross the injectors.

Buddy best way to tune it Is on the dyno

and bump the timing up till it starts Knocking

I wouldnt listen to some of the people around as they think they know what the limits are on every Engine

Just dont over rev it and watch

Oil pressures

Fuel Pressures

Water Temps

And

Take into Consideration

Fuels

intake Temps

People have said to me I am running to much timing Bla bla bla.I have done 290 dyno passes on a Rb25 and have driven it over the last month and a half everyday with 18 psi of boost making anything from 490 to 500 hp at the wheels.

Watch the factors above and go for your life

Hi Ian, was the maps from my car of any use to you?

Afraid not... your Wolf ecu was a plug in and used a custom program for using the factory triggering disc in the cam sensor that doesn't exist in the Wolf V4 plus ecu's. My ecu is a wire in model, and I used an RB25 dual pulse trigger disc.

I intially ran splitfire coils but had problems with them misfiring over 12lb, so i've switched to 3 haltech dual post coils and am running waste spark. I've got an MSD Dis 4 on the way to boost the spark energy and provide me with anti-lag and flat shift also.

I have yet to look at the ignition map from it though, thanks for the reminder!

Cheers,

Ian

Thanks for the advice... I was going to do most of that anyway. The lack of a knock sensor system is my main problem.

I have to hook up my oil pressure gauge too. Any idea where I plumb that into an RB20 engine? I've tried a search on the forum but the search engine doesn't like me :P

Buy a Knock sensor Guage and Sensor and runing it like a boost Guage Champ

I am not to sure who sells them but they are available

Post up how it goes

Will do! Dyno day is this Sunday, and i'll be street tuning tomorrow night. I guess i'll just have to keep a soft tune till I get a knock sensor system.

Took 290 dyno runs to tune you MAP based ECU hey???

And to answer you question around 17-18 total timing would have been my thoughts but like it has been said above probably best to listen to it on the dyno with a chassis ear.

Didnt take 290 runs

only took 5

the reason why ive done 290 passes is trying different fuels different tunes different boost controllers to see what works etc.I am in reasearch on what will work buddy Unlike you.

I think you should stick to typing rubbish on a keyboard.

    • Try looking at Eibacb/H&R springs Thats what Gary sourced for mine.
    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
