GRRRRRR im really really f*ing pissed off my microtech didnt turn up now i had to cancel my tune till it comes in i been waiting 3 weeks for it grrrrr, and another thing to top the list i put a gtst ecu in to drive it to work today and the car is running rough as guts on start up it seems to run rich and retard for the first like 2 minutes then when you driving it sometimes it feels as if the car is being really restricted like a blocked exhaust or the boost is leaking out somewhere but it doesnt look like either are happing just feels like it hope its just cause its not tunned but i duno now grrr

Hmm bizzaro, you've got GTSt injectors + pump?

i got a 600hp fuel pump, i havent upgraded the injectors but when it went for the first tune the place said they wernt maxed out, although for safty i bought a fuel reg to go in when i get the microtech, i was thinking it could be a fueling issue but i wont really know until i tune it, althought the car very occasionaly searched for idle like up to 1500 then bak down do 800 a few times so it could be the idle control valve being dirty i might try and clean it and see tomorrow,

also cant remember if i mentioned it but the car idels really low with the gtst idle like 500rpm and on cold start up to like mabye 900 so i rekon that could be a little bit of the problem ill see what happenes

ok just pulled off and cleaned my idle control valve was pretty dirty but it didnt seem like it helped at all with anything so i took out the gtst ecu which the car was running like shit on and put my na ecu back on just to test the idle and everything and guess what the car ran perfect so i'd say all it was that the gtst ecu may be damaged or mabye they are not compatable but i doubt that cause the car ran just didnt run to well, oh just means ill have to wait till the microtech comes in put it in then drive the car to the dyno with the base microtech tune no real big loss only that i cant pre book my tune just incase it doesnt show up for a little while hope someones got a spare dyno time next week when it comes in

hey ok microtech is in and running ohh yay, took all day to get the thing to sensible settings cause supposible microtech loaded the wrong maps on it so the place its at spent all day fiddling with all the settings to get it to a safe drivably setting but they ran out of time to weed out a flat spot threw the middle to high power band so they havent done the final tune and power run, its going back in on tuesday and finilizing the injector pulses and the fuel reg settings and a few other things, then he said he's got to leave the car over night till its dead cold to set the cold start and if he can get it right first go which he only has one chance at he'll give me the car bak wed if not he's got to leave it overnight agian and finilize it on thursday, they are doing an extreemly professional job going threw everything helps that they deal with my work so im getting good prices plus they not stuffing me over cause they do then we stuff em over you know what i mean lol, anyways the place is called mahnkens autotune in moorabbin they do excellent work will let you all know the figures when i get em but omg the car already is driving like a dream

hey didnt end up getting a dyno printout cause the printer was broken lol

ended up getting less power than i was expecting got 130rwkw at 6.5psi with the 32 turbo fuel reg stock side mount cooler 600hp fuel pump and microtech, the biggest thing holding it bak is the turbo being way to small it starts to run outa puff around 5200 rpm and drops back to around 5psi boost,

Hrmm.. the dyno must read way low or the car has issues.

I ran an rb20det turbo on my rb30det (25 head) and that made 176rwkw on 9psi, boost peaked to 12psi and then tapered off to 9psi by peak power. No boost control just straight off the actuator. Peak power was made at ~4800rpm. It was all over by 5500rpm. :S

It won't matter if its an rb20,25,26 or 30. The rb20det turbos will always make 165-180rwkw when tuned depending on motor condition, exhaust, cat convertor etc.

The rb20det requires ~1bar where as the rb25head requires ~9psi to make that power.

yeh the cars way more fun to drive second gear put the foot down and wheels start spinning

Yea i think the dyno was running quite low because the previous dyno tune it was 150 at the wheels at a different place, the exhaust is pretty much stock so thats restricting it and its running only 6.5 psi boost stock r33 actuator on 32 turbo, im getting an avo front mount fit for it soon and then i might up the boost and get a full print out.

the car sounds soo nice, instant boost pulls like a train cant feel any lag way better feel than the n/a now just got to do some subsids and ge the power up a bit

    • If you really don't want to touch anything you can try to trigger off the timing loop just to see if it's sparking semi-regularly. Don't trust it for actual timing measurements.
    • Also replace the fuel filter aswell today
    • Hey everyone, I have a r34 GTT s1, im having a problem with my skyline, ive let the car sit in the garage for the last couple of months and havent run it and ive gone to fire her up today and it cranks but doesnt fire, i have been having problems with it previously where it wouldnt start again after driving it around for a bit. It use to start fine on cold start ups but if you drove to the petrol station and fueled it up and went to go start it again, it would just crank and not fire untill you let it rest for a few hours, the car doesn't over heat it sits perfectly in the middle while driving when warmed up. Im thinking this problem has caught up maybe and now it just wont start at all. The car runs on e85, ive checked the e85 seems to be fine. I can hear the fuel priming before you go to start it and checked all my fuses and relays. List of things I replaced today - New battery - New sparkplugs - New Coolant temp sensor I was thinking about testing the CAS but from what ive seen online, if the CAS is cooked, the car will actually start up but then die instantly? as mine just doesn't fire at all. Does anyone have any idea or have encountered the same problems? thanks
    • Modern reg stuff now, they'd have a wide input range which would push through a buck converter, it would need to be able to maintain voltage for cranking conditions (sub 9V at times). Likely runs something like an internal 6V rail, and then further voltage regulators depending on which circuit/area it is feeding. Modern voltage regs, like what I'm starting a new power supply design with at work, will let me run a 5V rail output, and as long as my input is equal to or greater than 5V, I have a 5V output. Except I'm not pushing a 5V rail in our system as I don't need one, we're setting up for a 3.8V rail. Our new design will allow me 6 to 60VDC input, and everything else doesn't care, even when I start pushing a few Amp outputs.   Realistically, the voltage drop off could be caused by a few things though, one could be literally the alternator is dieing, and hence charge power is dropping, which also means on a straight hard pull you're starting to send the battery flat... (Not that likely from a single couple of gear pull if the battery was fully charged). However, having earth issues, like stray earths not connected, or someone having put a ground loop in, will see the ECU appear to end up with lower voltage "input", mainly because the "ground" is no longer equivalent to battery negative. If they're comparing the input voltage using sensory ground for example, and sensor ground is what is in that ground loop, than the sensor output voltage will actually start to be reduced, when compared to battery ground... Yeah, ground wiring design can start to be a bitch... Also voltage going weird from inductive loads not being managed properly is another real bitch... Hence, why I asked above about how everything was wired in. If OP knows, and can post all of the actual connections from the ECU pin out, as well as what wires are joined where in the loom, which grounds from the ECU have ground points and where they are etc. Would help to see if there is a ground issue. The part I'd start with though, is putting a mechanical oil pressure gauge on to confirm the theory. Otherwise the next track day when the threshold is lowered could result in another of @Duncan favourite types of jokes... Knock knocks... Pretty sure this is what @GTSBoy is also self high fiving...  Is all great that we have a decent theory... But they need to prove it before relying on it...  
    • When I worked at BlueScope Steel, we had an Ethernet network, with every switch setup with a duplicate switch. Even when looking at all the primary switches, they had duplicate links, there was then also duplicated links between the primary in section A, to the duplicate in section B. So for each location that had networking, there was 8 network links. This was all back around 2007. That setup caused sooooo many issues, as many of those links were fibre. The network guys ran everything with Spanning Tree Protocol. And then we had great joy... The FOC Transceivers were slowly dieing, but in an intermittent way. And a lot of the time as they started to die, they'd drop offline for about 30 seconds... Spanning Tree Protocol was requiring 45 seconds to "rewire" the network... And by the time it was mostly finished, it had to start again as the transceiver was back online... Queue entire production network being constantly spammed with the spanning tree protocol messages...   My god I do NOT miss working in huge environments like that!
