hey guys i reccently had my rb25 tuned, the problem is the car only made 192rwkw on 12psi, even though when i load it up it stays at 10psi, ive seen many std rb25's make this with std ecu etc and now im questioning the tune,the car had some high knock readings under light throttle uphill say 3000rpm not giving it a hard time. to the point where they had to pull timming out from below std settings. this also didnt make much sense.. mods are:

rb25det

std turbo,injectors,afm

greedy plenum

front mount

3inch exhaust

600x300 cooler

fuel pump

powerfc

boost controller is profec B 2...

i wouldve assumed an easy 200rwkw should be in order, the motor is very healthy with good compresion and lil to no leak down...am i expecting to much from these mods? whats your thoughts?

yea thats what i was thinking, realistic dyno. only problem is it doesnt feel all that well on the street. unless i was just expecting to much,i just cant understand why they had to pull the timming out "less then std" in some load points around 3000rpm. it makes for a very "doughy" pick up if you catch my drift.

Ryan,

My RB25 was 195rwkw with same mods minus the plenum.

Maybe go to another dyno tuner for a comparison run?

Or, with my tuner, he says if Im not happy, bring it back and they'll fix it!

Give the person who tuned your car a call and have a chat and tell them your thoughts etc!

Cheers,

Chris

Ryan, feel free to pm me if you like :banana:

I know the ceffie was quick without those mods (Ando beat me by .6 of a second!!! :( ) so take it to the track and open her up, see how she feels!

The only way your going to improve this figure is with an adj. exhaust cam pulley so you can get some timing into it [then you can pull it back/trim it to suit]. Then I'm only thinking around 200 -210, so you might make a slight diff, but if you have plans to go bigger turbo and cams etc I wouldn't waste my $$$ on a cam wheel.

    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
    • I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?
    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
