hey paul just wondering how suitable the base map is PFC for R32 GTR.. initially i failed to turn off the ignition after resetting the ecu and car sounded like a WRX and drove like a Lada.. so i reset the ecu again only this time turn ign on/off and did the learning procedure.. still same result.. my only guess is that base map is unsuitable for my car which is close to stock.. i have read on the forum that base maps typically provide lot more power/response through the band unlike stock restricted ecu.. anyone else have similar result?

the base map is fine and should be suitable and smooth to drive

there should be no strange idling, no smoke, no nosise or dash cluster lights on etc

if you have a strange idle i suspect something is wrong

ie: afms busted

wrong injectors

leaking intake piping

dodgy aac valve

etc etc

have u looked in SENSOR SW / CHECK to see if anything is odd ?

i checked sensor sw and everything showed up fine.. car doesnt hunt on idle at all.. no dash lights.. i have stock injectors.. havent checked afm or leaking piping or dodgy aac valve.. car has no pickup at all even wen its floored on 2nd/3rd gear.. boost doesnt build as quickly either.. put my hks kansai modified ecu back on to check if something had crapped out in the meantime but car went hard.. so i figured it was perhaps base map etc.. was wondering whether its possible to lock values via software like datalogit which isnt cleared with the normal ecu reset..

if youve reset it, then it should be back to defaults

the stock maps are prretty good

i wouldnt call them sluggish but fairly good out of the box

to suit most cars and conditions

try

SETTING, IGN MAP

if you see all zero's then its locked

Really don't mean to hijack this thread just out of curiosity. im currently buying an power fc for my rb20 from a mate who has it obviously tuned for his setup. am i able, when i take possession of the power fc, reset it and install it on my car and run it on a factory just like my standard ecu until i can afford a tune?

if so does this same above process work?

Cheers, Adz

no point, it takes 30 seconds to plug in a pfc so leave it in a drawer until you can afford to tune it

im rather curious to see some of the engines imputs. i would like to see injector duty ect. to make sure im not doing any damage to my car in the mean time.. as it is not a stock engine.

And point taken.. but Also i would like to know.. because sooner or later im going to drive it to the mechanics on the power fc. and would rather not like to be on my mates tune on the way there..

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      By Rezz · Posted

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
