the GT-RS graph is in 3rd gear so no direct comparson available which is a little disapointing. When i get the 4WD sorted ill take it up for a 3rd gear 4wd run as im just as interested as you Steve-o. The 3rd gear run in rwd just fry's the tyres.

ashamed of high-flow lag...never. Im totally aware of what im doing and know exactly whats needed. Yes ill have knocked a large hole in my torque curve...but that was expected. Peak torque at 7000rpm is whats needed to run the numbers at the strip not 4500rpm like before.

Wayne is going to rescale the graph for me...as soon as he calls me ill go and pick it up.

Ok so obviously still no 4wd... So did you find out if the problem was what you thought it would be Paul?

would be interesting to see a side by side of your GT-RS graph vs his GT-RS graph.

Yeah would be, but Paul will have higher numbers i suspect due to cams and porting differences. Mine would probably bring them on faster with greater torque. Time will tell :D And its getting the fuel system done right now, so the tune isnt far off

Cool :thumbsup:

He still plays with carby's and pushrod engines...i think i don't need to say anymore.

nah he is really into his Wolf V500 ecu's.. he loved them to death. Wayne is getting really good with aftermarket ecu's now.

He has actually sold quite a few / installed and tuned himself. They are doing really well over there now.

The Dirt man has been admitted to hospital :D I hope its not too serious but I will keep everyone updated as soon as i hear anything :) I just rang him to tell him I finally uploaded a video but Stace answered the phone to tell me the bad news :)

Its not because of the reason he was sick last time either. This is un-related.

Here is the video. anyways... Hope you get well soon Paul

Video is still new - should be up soon

    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup
