Hi

My car has been above 250kws with the stock trans (+ shift kit and trans cooler) for 18 months running a PFC and has worked very well. The last 6 months it's been above 300 kws . In the interest of getting a high stall, i got Mike at MV auto's to strip my stock trans and do the full rebuild / high stall job. this includes all new larger bands etc.

Now for all the non believers out there that say the PFC wont shift correctly etc. wheres your proof?

When Mike disassembled my stock trans he found that everything inside was in great nick and was all well within specs.

So what other proof does anyone need that the PFC wont harm a S1 auto trans.

i have also installed a set of poncams and backed the boost off to 21psi for smack on 300kws but massive amounts of torque and with the gt3582r-iw im getting 7psi by 3000rpm "Go the auto"

cheers

Well at a recent drag meet put on by another car forum I have done a PB for the 1/4 mile.

11.08 @ 118mph

Im stoked with this time and now i want a 10 before i get rid of the Nissan engine management. I was able to leave the line with 13psi.

Cheers

Steve

229rwkw at Racepace yesterday however it made 245rwkw but wasn't happy, too much knock. Needs a bigger housing on the turbo according to Ben.

I know i don't have a Skyline, but i do have a Automatic toyota Chaser. It is making 230rwkw on 15psi and i finally ran mine the other night and got a 12.95@110 mph. My 2.134 60fts were ok but my single spinner diff is holding me back. I'll get the diff done, and get some street slicks, and see if i can get that 60ft down to something respectable. With say a 1.9 60ft time and the speed i'm trapping at now, that should put me into mid to low 12's. Not too bad for a daily driver :P

i'll add mine. 1995 r33 gtst

with a highflow panel it pulled 145.8 rwkw at RE Customs. the green line is the constant 7 psi boost and the red is factory. she's running fairly rich

the car has now got a trust PE2 catback and will have a full zorst and bleed valve in a few weeks. also will be adding a trans cooler soon and a shift kit later down the track. i'll post up another dyno run when the stuff goes on

Hi Flow Cat

Pod Filter ( :( )

22 dollar ebay boost controller

SAFCII

Custom Intercooler pipe kit (swapped the piping over from the usual set up)

Have a stage 2 shift kit, ordering 2800-3000 torque convertor on tuesday.

Then next year i get serious, new turbo, rebuild etc

Hey Guys , anyone got any new updates ? I ended up hurting the auto (so i though, made noise as you load it up etc during a circuit sprint) , but it turned out to actually be the bloddy hiflow turbo..... of course i figured that one out AFTER i spent over 3K getting Mike doing the toughen up on the auto. Went up to a 3500 stall too. box wasn't to far before it was toast anyway.

Then spent 2.5K on a custom Turbonetics BB to fit into the vg30 rear housing.

Its been 3 months and i've been so busy i haven't had a chance to retune it to suit new turbo..... so thats on its way.... hope to get over the 260 rwkw we made previously. Will let you know how i go soon.

Any of the couple of guys on here at the top had experience with how much you can flow thru a vg30 housing ? and or the std log manifold... anyone had one extrude honed/power ported ?

    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways.
