Hey guy's anyone explain to me if this tune is any good, to me it's seems like a waste of power if you look at the graph the the green is Power and the red is torque the ones with dots is before the SAFC was tuned. The tune was done in 4th gear.

All my power increased seems to be from 90klms onwards, unfortunately I can't use much of it as I don't drive on the track and don't want to go alot faster than 120klms for fear of loosing my license, it looks as though I've lost approx. 40Hp up to 90klms which when your doing a redlight run is alot to loose? Anyone got any ideas what I can do about it or if this is standard fair after a tune.

DynoTune_with_SAFC2.pdf

those graphs look horrible

the bloke who tuned it surely could have done a much better job.

have you got a larger fuel pump, an adjustable fuel regulator, a z32afm and a nice clean air filter / fuel filter?

these items really help (in my opinion / experience only) when tuning a safc for 'power'

also, should have been tuned in 3rd gear (optimal - if automatic box then pull the brown fuse in front of battery, to hold 3rd), if not then 2nd gear.

got to say, my graphs with my safc tunes (4 now) have all been much smoother then yours.

but then again, dont you have poor quality fuel in Cairns?

That looks very messy mate.

With rb25 manual, 12psi, 3" exhaust, air filter, cooler and Safc you should pull around 190rwkw with a much smoother line.

Solution - Go to a workshop that knows how to tune.

Yes I would have thought so but the crap you see around 120 to 135kph is it breaking down. He replaced the plugs and it was still breaking down, so we both guessed maybe coil packs which we both inspected at different times and they look fine. Coil packs aside it seems to make good power at 205Kw I'm guessing that's ATW? But at the wrong end of the scale....especially as you see it was making 40hp up to 90kph more before the tune.

He mentioned 4th gear as bieng the standard for tuning.

It is a 5spd with a Central 20 ECU and the rest that stolen_s15 mentioned.

dyno runs are usually done in the gear that is closest to 1:1, in a 5-speed that is usally 4th.

what I meant was that if you were doing anything other than putting about, you wouldn't use the part of the rev range that the power is lower at.

does the engine feel smoother in this part of the rev range or did the tuner offer some reason for this?

Doesnt look like your engine is running very smoothly :ph34r:

A redlight run = dragging someone at the lights? If so.. you dont drag someone from 4th gear and you dont sit on low revs... so the higher rev range IS where you want your power at.

Ah I see, yes he mentioned it was from around 1000rpm to (not sure) around 6000rpm maybe? So the essentially I could break this graph up to into 5 parts from 1000rpm through to 6000rpm and the lower part upto 90Kph would be at a different RPM, if you get my drift.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I guess what I'm saying here is if the graph show'd Revs aswell it would be easier to read, so if I was in example 2nd gear that power curve that is low would be around 2000RPM in every gear? Then from around 2500RPM it's better in every gear?

Ok so I found out from the tuner that it was run from 1000RPM to 7000RPM so that would make the crossover point from worse to better around 3000RPM. The old tune is the one with the dots.

As for how the car feels, well it's made it a little sedate below 3000RPM and then it has a bootload more power from there on with a hesitation/shudder around 5000RPM then smooths out again, so I can't complain about that too much as heller44 said you don't use that part of the rev range too much other than putting around.

It kinda feels like the same problem I had when the plugs were not gapped to .7 on 12psi on my old R33 Skyline it boosted ok to around 9psi then anything after that it shuddered and that's as far as you could go until I changed the spark gap from 1 to .7 although this one seems to push past that shudder with some hisitation then keeps cranking? He put new sparks in and left them gapped at 1 so I think I'll pull them out and change the gap to .7 and see if it still hesitates, if so then need to look seriously at coilpacks.

    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 馃槃 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 馃槃 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 馃槃 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel  
    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary
