Yep is is tuned for the mods you list. and you then go by your self to the dyno to get it checked, He guaranteed me if i didn't get a power increase he would write another tune for me after seeing the dyno sheet.

You can get upto 3 seperate tunes sent to you, dyno all 3 and keep the one that suits your car best and send the other 2 back but it costs a bit extra. He was confident he would get it right first time and he did.

Get it right? Or close enough?

Im not trying to sound negative.

But i cant see how someone in another state can tune your car based on what youve "told" them.

Its just pot luck, and it will never be the best tune either.

For $300 it wouldnt wanna be anymore as the tune will never be as good as paying for someone to do it real-time.

Considering you still have to go to a dyno to check, i dunno... im not convinced

What nismod says has some merit to it though.

He is right if the tuner is with you at the dyno you WILL get a better result.

But I did not want to pay big $$$ for a tune as mine is just a mild upgrade.

mabye i could have got a couple more rwkw out of it but I am happy with the results

And like nismod says, he can only go on what you tell him.

Keep in mind there are litrally 1000s of tuners doing it in japan this way, Including some big names.

and yeah it was $150 + $10 delivery + $30 to get the socket soldered in at a tv shop and $80 for the dyno run so all up $270

so the tune was really only half the cost.

I think nissan tune thier cars ritch from the factory, so theoretically its just a matter of adjusting the 'k' value to get the 12:1 afr, im a noob at tuning, so I have been doing a bit of reaserch with the goal of tuning my car, but I would guess this is all he is doing, then you can fine tune from there, I dunno, I have more reaserch to do, and to buy the equipment :unsure:

And what lean out your engine everywhere - thats dumb, thats why noobs shouldn't tune. To tell you the truth I have no idea how this guys sends his programs out every nissan we see at work either needs a fuel pump or the airflow meters are distrorting the real airflow value or the base timing is out 5 or 10 degrees or there is some dumbass idea typical of cheap nissan owners. The chances of getting the mixtures wrong is so much higher with boosted engines.

S/H Ninja - you said your AFM was maxing out before?

The stock AFM should max out at around 200-205 so it would have been well worth your while upgrading to a z32 and getting the appropriate chip to suit. Try winding 4th right out to redline and see if it actually gets there without cutting ignition. When the AFM voltage reaches 5.1V for 3 secs or more your ECU should automatically cut power.

Plus the most you'll ever see out of a set of RB20 stock injectors is 205-208 rwkw so those injectors of yours would be running at 100% or more which is dangerous if the fuel system decides to hiccup for a split second.

I was thinking the same thing, the afm hit max airflow before but now with more power, hence more airflow it doesnt cut?

Was the before dyno run done on the same dyno as the after?

Lastly, I see the run was done in "shoot 3" where usually it would be shoot 6F. Would that affect the power figure? Or is it just a ramp rate thing?

just been reading this topic and my question may apply somewhat

i've got a stock rb20det motor just turbo back exhaust on 10psi atm

i've also got a r33 s2 turbo which im going to be purchasing shortly and i have a fmic/kit which i'm going to be put on the same time as the turbo

with turbo back exhaust, pod, fmic, r33 s2 turbo, is it safe to run 1bar (14psi) without receiving any boost/fuel cuts.. would i need a remap or chip of my stock ecu?

Also why would you scrub out the Ambiant temps and inlet temps unless you have something to hide?

Me thinks you are only making 180rwkw and your tuner put the sensor on your exhaust.

LOL yeah I really need to do that. I dont give a F*#k what sort of power it makes. altho the dyno guy didn't even put the afr's on the printout so i wouldnt put it past him.

Car feels heaps faster and runs perfectly and I have had it tested with a wideband sensor and it is fine.

s*^t some of you guys are negative.

I was just happy with my results and thought I would share. Perhaps next time I will think twice before sharing my mods with others.

dude, you cant blame them for being negative.

these days you truely get what you pay for, and when something real cheap come along, people always think its a scam unless they see some hard proof. and the proof in this case has been tampered with.

I for one wouldnt trust someone over the web to tune my car. every engine is differant, 2 engines with the exact same mods will never make the same power.

just becarefull, cause the money you saved on a proper tune might have to go towards a new engine......

Steve

He knew what he was doing, and the risk. 200rwkw and a nice smooth curve on an RB20 is the result. Time will tell, but it looks like everything went his way this time. I wouldnt get it done, but congrats on the good result mate, thats a happy RB20.

Hey guys - slightly off topic but does anyone know where in Melbourne is good to get a re-map? I know of a couple of places that do it but I am really after someone reputable - I've heard of a 'few' stories of blown RB20s after having had a remap...which is what I am trying to avoid...!! Its not a matter of cost, I personally would rather retain a complete factory ECU rather than a PFC (if possible)...my car is an R32 GTS-t and mods are;

FMIC

HKS 2535

R32 GTR injectors

Q45 AFM

Walbro pump

Any suggestions would be much appreciated...!!!

Cheers,

Chris

    • I have seen a case where the starter motor shorting against the casing caused a massive voltage drop + so much EMI that it caused all the sensors to spew garbage data at the ECU. Test the battery to make sure it has acceptable CCA/capacity first, I have gotten "brand new" batteries before that couldn't even power a 10W light bulb without dying probably because it sat in a warehouse too long without being charged. Only easy way to diagnose this 100% is put an oscilloscope on the battery and also look at key sensors to see if there's any clues.
    • There's a bunch of smaller shops that don't quite attract Singer money but are still hiring from that same pool of labor. Those are the body shops that you go to when you can't afford a Singer, but your old Porsche needs some serious bodywork. You can't exactly take those cars to the usual insurance body shops. When I say restomod, I mean they'll do something other than 100% OEM/OEM-equivalent aftermarket parts R&R. In the Porsche world this would be stuff like taking a 50k 964, doing a bunch of deferred maintenance/unwinding the nightmares the previous owners did to the car because a lot of people that own these cars tended to be penny wise, pound foolish types, then maybe some relatively simple off the shelf modifications to things like suspension, transmission, engine, headlights, etc. and you've spent 130k USD. When even the worst houses in the poor neighborhoods are worth 1M USD and the nice houses in wealthy neighborhoods are worth 3-10M USD suddenly 130k spent on a 50k car seems cheap.
    • Hoping to get a few ideas to help troubleshoot this issue, I'll try to keep it short.  A mate popped the motor in his 2018 LDV T60 with the 2.8 turbo diesel motor. He swapped it and I was his phone a friend when he got stuck.  The new motor is in, however it won't fire. The battery is literally brand new, when you crank it the volts very quickly (say 2 seconds of cranking) drop to 8 volts and the engine stops turning over. Watching the belts, I'd say they move about 5cm before coming to a stop. We put a booster pack on, no change.  The only potential issue I'm aware of is, when we pulled the motor the grounding strap was still attached. The strap copped a thrashing before we realised what was going on. It looks okay-ish but it's going to be replaced to rule it out.  The main challenge is, I wasn't there for 90% of the work. This is his first time doing any major work on a car and he was learning as he was going. He thinks everything has been put back together properly, however I'm not entirely confident that this is the case.  It would be good to get some ideas about what else to check. The car isn't spitting any codes so that doesn't help.  I've attached a photo, because why not lol.   
    • I mean an N1 came with a minimal paint thickness compared to dealer models. It’s probably had a ton of vinyls and stuff possible a race paintjob or two over the years. you don’t buy an N1 for its stunning good looks or comfort 🤣 you buy it to send it and measure how much air you can get on the hill at Bathurst
