I heard today Gibson used to tune their qualifying GTR's to 12.7:1.... but they also had over 1000 degrees exhaust temps and had to make special brackets to hold the exhaust manifold up as it got so hot it started drooping.

In a track car i'd say that its too lean but thats just my opinion and really its up to you, your use of the car and your tuner. If your tuner says its fine, then its fine. If you dont trust your tuner, find a new one. Second guessing them is no good.

12:1 to 12.5:1 on the road is a ok tune but if on track then need to be alot richer as heat takes over and cause issues as Strik3r mentioned

Sorry to hijack, but how much richer?

I had my GTR tuned for the first time last week, and below are the results. The car spends 25/30 days per month in the garage, but will be doing some track days in it.

i dunno. in my eyes, for a GTR with decent power, if you're going to be punishing it, it's a bit too lean. and their AFR scaling is so wide as to be completely fking useless. so it's hard to tell even from that graph what exact AFR you are running. BUT on the other hand they have tuned and built more GTRs than i've had hot breakfasts so I would like to think they know what works better than I do. if it bothers you talk to them about it. ask them why they tune it to that AFR, and maybe ask can you have a little more fuel for safety.

That is a totally awesome tune. Probly the first dyno sheet i have seen posted on this site that has had a 100% tune. I was impressed, then i saw the tuner stamp so I am not suprised at all.

That tune is 100% safe and perfect for every day street use and track use. how much did that tune cost you? (just wondering)

geez, bit hard to say quite how awesome a tune is by looking at AFR. we still need to know timing, boost control etc. but having said all that I reckon my old tune was pretty much spot on. took 3 years of track and street abuse and ran flawlessly and never had any knock to speak of.

it was exactly what I asked for. 11.8:1 dropping to 11.5 right up the top (near limiter for a bit of extra fuel up there, no real loss in doing that as peak power is already past anyway).

Thanks mate, it was all the good words about them that i have heard which pushed me to them. And with out doubt the most pleasant dealings I have ever had with a workshop.

All up cost wise was

Nistune ECU - $350

Tune $450

Beer Baron, what boost control are you using on that second graph? Holds very well.

Anyone who gives an "expert" opinion on a tune after only seeing an AFR graph, isn't an expert.

For example, my car came over with 11.5:1 AFR's, but pinging its ring off because there was over 30deg ignition timing in the top end.

      So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....🤣) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      R33 with RB26 seems to go off of learned voltage for idle. Seemed like whatever the baseline voltage was once ECU first gains power will be the idle voltage. With ignition on unplug/replugging the TPS would relearn the idle TPS voltage.

      Have you confirmed the 2 pin coolant temp sensor on the motor is working properly? I've had a very similar issue when I forgot to plug mine back in many years ago.
