Toshi Remap Done - R33 Gtst

[siddr20]

Didnt mean to create another thread, but thought i start with a clean one!!

Plus this thread will have all the details.

Edit:

Well got it dyno'd at 196.2kw at 10psi

Which i think is pretty damn good for 10psi!!

Will upload dyno sheet later on in the night..

------------

Anyways more details thru out the thread.. read below

Ok so, i just checked my timing belt.

Everything seems to be aligned up properly!!

Toshi i see you are reading this thread.

Any suggestions now? what to do?

[Mr_G]

Was there with Sidd today to undergo the remap, quite interesting to see and learn how he goes about this. Very friendly person and i think he would top one of the customer service experiences when it comes to the service he provides. If I still drove a GTST and was looking for a remap, definitely put toshi on the cards without hesitation.

We are still yet to have the remap done due to the timing problems experienced. Sidd will be getting his timing re-checked by another gun and we will see how it goes from there.

look forward to hear from you guys soon.. need to get my car tuned too and still deciding between remapping and Nistune

cheers

[evil_weevil]

yeah would be interesting to follow up....

but Ive always been on the thought of the dyno is a tuning tool..

Sid, please post up dyno results if you do get them.

would be interesting to compare against other members etc

[siddr20]

Dont worry i will post up dyno figures for everyone.

Its raining today, so cant really do much

[evil_weevil]

Its raining today, so cant really do much

Hahah, yeah stupid rain!

rain + wet track + semi's = dorrrri

ha ha you know you love it chris!

Alright everybody i got my remap done today and am i just amazed!!

I honestly think this remap is equal to a power fc tune with same mods. I have driven a 33 with same mods as mine tuned on a power fc, and it feels the same!!

The work started today at 10.30am and finished about 3.30. Thats 5 hours worth of work (plus the hour or two i spent the day before) and toshi did not ask for any more money!!

I must say his service is just excellent and he truely knows a lot in terms of tuning.

So i highly recommend this remap to any other r33's out there with similar mods as mine (will list them later on).

For 400 bucks i have to say its worth it!!

gonna go have some lunch now, so brb.. lol.. will list my mods plus how the car feels!!

Hi mate.. good to hear u are happy with his remapping!

anyway, did u get the tuning on the dyno? or road tune? how difficult to do the road tune, did u drive it and Toshi sit on the passenger and did the tuning?

tell me abit more on this thing??

Cheers

[siddr20]

^ yup thats what im about to explain.

I didnt have lunch, so i was starving hense why i left some details out and ended the above post.

Alright well.

i got the road tune done and i now know why toshi recommends it more than a dyno tune at first.

Firstly he put a new map up for me, and 2nd and 3rd gear FLEW!! I was so amazed im like lets work on this map..

But then i went up an hill in 5th gear and the car just wasnt going past 2000rpms.

So basically if i was on a dyno with that same map he probably wouldnt have known about that 5th gear issue as you are only in third gear on the dyno.

Road tune seemed much better as he could adjust the map thru out the rev range in the gears, while still looking at the air fuel ratios.

I was driving the car the whole time while toshi was on his laptop in the passenger seat.

Its not difficult to do the road tune, unless you have some crazy mods etc. Then he probably will have to spend more time adjusting the map..

My mods are:

- Full exhaust

- R34 side mount

- Bigger Fuel pump

- more boost

Before remap the car has been dynoed at 183kw.

Maybe on tuesday i might head down to my local tuner shop and get a dyno done to see the difference.

Im guessing its close to 200kw if not a little more.

--------

My air fuel ratios are in the 11 range peaking at 11.8 at full power (that is 6000-7000rpms).

At about 4500rpms its about 13 at most.

Now hes happy to change the ratios upon your request.

The only advantage about the dyno tune is that you can adjust and make the air-fuel ratios a bit more smoother in terms of the curve. But wont make any difference in terms of power..

I can always get that done a bit later on.

So having my ratios about 11.5-11.8 is pretty much spot on i guess.

------------------

How does the car feel?

BLODDY QUICK!!

A lot of power from 4000rpm. 2nd and 3rd gear pulls so much harder than ever before.

1st gear is just crazy as it revs out so much quicker.

Im not experiencing any flat spots anymore either..

Things to check/do before going to toshi (will make his life easier and yours)

1) Check that your ignition timing is at 15. If not, try and fix it lol... OHH 15 is recommened for Rb25s. So check your engine first and sus it out.

2) Tell him exactly what mods you have and most importantly which fuel pump and how much it flows (need to know in order to adjust the map properly)

3) Make sure your boost guage works and set it at the right boost before tuning.

4) Tell him what your intentions are for the car. Do you do more track days than everyday driving? Is your car just for street. Is your engine old - so tune it so its not harsh.. etc etc. This makes it easier to adjust the ratios and get the right map for the car.

These are just some of the questions that he will ask/check.

But dont worry everyone, i will get my car on the dyno soon and post up before and after results.

If you want before, here is the graph:

BEFORE:

AFTER:

^ note only at 10psi or so

But i dont think these two graphs can be compared.

Before was done at a cold night..

After seems like higher IT temps..

Meh im happy with it..

HOW??

HOW can I tell the flow rates??

These are just some of the questions that he will ask/check.

subie - Get your self a timing gun. Basically its a gun that shines light down near the harmonic balancer which reads out the timing (You should see the strobe flash in time with the engine). Each mark you see is 5 degrees. But go to any work shop and they will be able to check. Only takes 2mins at most.

If its not at 15, then you will have to adjust your crank angle sensor!!

In regards to your fuel pump - well if you know which model it is then just look it up. I bought a walbro one which flows at 255L/PH?? So its bigger than a stock gtr pump (185)

might get my mechanic to check the timing and i have the same fuel pupm as u mate

cheers

[siddr20]

^ no worries. ah just be careful as theres two types of walbro pumps!! Just double check the model number

Mr_G just took my car for a spin

I will let him explain how it felt

AS hes driven my car many of times!!

[Mr_G]

Just took Sidds car remapped for a drive, and definitely has alot more in the midrange and top end which felt great! Im an s15 driver and have alot of work done to mine, so its pretty hard to compare against my car, however it probably feels like a 200rwkw car in my opinion, we have to wait to get it on the dyno and have a look but for $400, its been a huge improvement to the driveability and tune in Sidd's car and can honestly recommend the value of this to be better than a pfc.

To fine tune it, Toshi can meet you at a dyno I believe so he can play around with it? But honestly for what it is, you cant go wrong

Thumbs up to Sidd and Toshi

[dori34]

who is this toshi guy?

does he have a workshop/website or does he work from home??
