i dont see how the remap killed it, it sounds like human error

the pfc may have helped with the knock light going spastic

if you were using the pfc and the boost kit and you ramped up the duty cycle

it would have done fuel cut when it flew past 0.25kgcm2 of the target boost

so you would have been ok and failing that the knock light would have been going spastic

with the remap the ecu would have seen stackloads of detonation and should have dropped to the low octane map

i would have thought this would have been enough to save the engine, or was that "remapped" too?

just curious & love learning so relax :rofl:

That's what I said. It was my fault.

This thread is like bumping into an ex for me. Not pleasant. I'm happier calling it my fault than thinking it wasn't tuned better.

paying 500 dollars for a tune is akin to paying 5000 to a lawyer.... you are paying for experience not for hours spent.

i think 500 for a full faultless tune is a bargain but i do have issues with people charging 500 to tune mearly the power curve which many do.

I agree with you about experience and qualification when you put it that way.

what i'm trying to say, is that with a lot of research, and if you know what you're doing, you mmgiht not be that bad off. I have a friend who's been going about it like that, and while he might not make optimum power/torque, his tunes are fairly good. He makes them very safe. I'd happily let him do my car (won't cost much at all).

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
