Hello,

I am just interested in what everyone thinks of this tune....and if It good for road.

I asked for mid range punch....and everyday driving conditions......

I have not driven it yet....disregard old tune...boost controller was not set up correctly.

All of the technical info is available in RB26 turbo upgrades.

Yes I know it is a bit wonky...this is why I am asking this question.

I have been told it is not on shoot-out mode......which is at 15km intervals on the graph...but at 5km interval,therefore plots are marked up and down.......making a more precise type curve

Your down around 50rwkw give or take i reckon aswell knowing your basically using 2530's

Have you even looked at the graph dude?

Its RPM based, not km/h based. :sorcerer:

I think someone is leading you up the garden path.

RPM and SPEED(KM's and hour) are both the same.

As for the 50RWKW I am under.....I believe his dyno needs to be callibrated...I have been told he is always 30 to 40KS's less than other tuning houses.

Im sorry, every dyno shop says their dyno reads lower, that way if you get more power somewhere else you cant blame them. Plotting is no different in shootout or non shootout mode. If their dyno reads low, dont you think they would be the first to get it calibrated? To be perfectly honest, i dont see how cars can be tuned to give a wavy power graph, on a power run it only goes through about 15 load cells, and as long as the numbers dont jump all over the place ive always found the curve to be smooth as long as there is no missfire. Can you get a graph of AFR's?

I stand by my comment about the garden path.

Definately sounds like someone is taking you for a run.

There are plenty of well known, proven workshops in Vic.

Just go to one of them

i can't be in shootout mode mate as it's not a dyno dynamics dyno. i have nfi if it's a good tune or not. maybe your engine has 60psi compression and the tuner did an amazing job just to get that power. on the other hand it could be a really good engine, with a really poor tune. and yes, every single dyno shop says their dyno reads low...

Id have to aggree with the up and down waves on the tune, usually they are alot smoother than that aswell, looks almost like up and down "fluctuating" boost in that area or wavey afrs whos to tell tho easiest also would be an afr curve and or boost curve may help in determining these things as well as barons comments its hard to say health engine or not

Thank you for your comments....I will try and get a afr graph and post it up soon....tuner will not be in town till thursday.

The state of the engine also has a lot to do with the max power.....I agree.

Was unaware that most tuners said that their dyno's showed lower readings than the others.....would have thought they would have the highest reading to lure the client back.(ie)"look at that great curve...look at that power I was able to tune in.."

When is the next Dyno day for SAU(VIC)...would love to see all the cars rated on the same dyno.

Dynamic Test systems are usually very good dynos.... every bit as good as Dyno Dynamics. That wavy section could be a myriad of things.... roller traction etc...

power for GT2530's is average though.

boostd mate. inlet cam and exhaust cam are two different things. you can't compare settings on his inlet cam to your exhaust cam. it's quite common to retard the ex cam and advance the inlet cam on rb26.

Whether the power curve is smooth or not can be a function of the scale of the dyno graph itself. Some tuners are known for making the vertical scale on a boost or AFR curve massive so the AFR and/or boost curve looks very flat.

In saying that I would expect more power everywhere with 2530's.

Yes, thanks for that. It's well known that retarding the exhaust cam will increase exhaust gas flow at low rpm in turn bringing boost on earlier, The advanced inlet cam causes a lumpy idle and better efficiency at high rpm....which can be seen on the dyno graph. I wasn't comparing the cams, but, what the different settings will acheive. His exhaust cam has been set at 0

Maybe the timing belt is loose and the cams would dial into in+2/ex-4 who knows, however comparing before and after graph lines its pretty obvious the tune favours top end by the shifted torque peak.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
