Johnilicte: I'm doing a little bit of Noob tuning at moment following course from HPA. Would you be able to share some experiences in tuning Nissan VTC system in areas of ignition, fuel and dis/engagement? I'm using adaptronic ecu. Thanks.

of course, e-mail me all your questions and I shall answer ..

Long story short with VTC enabled you produce more torque due to higher cylinder pressure thus the motor can only take less timing, as soon as it disengages torque will drop off - reducing cylinder pressure allowing you to ramp up timing again. From my limited tuning experience, motors with a shorter stroke will prefer a mild ignition ramp after peak torque, where as a longer stroke motor i.e. SR OR 4G likes loads of timing hammered into it after peak torque.

Best way to determine where to disengage VTC... setup a mild timing map with VTC on a few thousand RPM past peak torque ~6500rpm (of course monitoring knock) do a dyno run, then set the VTC point around 4500rpm do another run..

Overlay the two torque curves and you will see your optimum VTC disengagement point.

Of course after you do that, you can start ramping more timing after VTC disengagement and tune for power up top.

That's a quick run down of it.

Just a note, I've never worked with variable cam timing and variable lift.. RBs and SRs use a fixed on and off point which makes tuning easy for an amateur like me.

In terms of injection, VE is closely related to torque.. more torque higher VE so it's natural you see your VE decline as your torque drops off.. this is the beauty of VE tuning.. makes tuning easier

Thought i would post up my results of Stao's fantastic handywork. My car has sat in my garage for 1.5 years, and finally got round to fixing it.

Unopened RB25

Pretty much the usual stuff.
740cc injectors

PFC

Greddy rad and cooler.
Scotty Intake

Just a typical hiflow which i bought 15 months ago. I was told it would see 230kw on 98 and roughly 260 on e85.
Anyway today i picked my car up and got this:post-75784-0-29419900-1405668770_thumb.jpg

All on BP98. Might be interesting if i put it on the juice.
Highest run was 265.

is it an R33 highflow? the new ones can make around 270 rwkw around 20-22psi on 98 so your result is very good for around the 17psi mark. Personally I wouldn't push it to 20psi on a stock motor on 98 but it's possible.

The old highflows maxed out around 230 I think.

on e85 the new highflow makes around 320rwkw around 22psi

Personally I wouldn't push it to 20psi on a stock motor on 98 but it's possible.

Been running 20psi on a hypergear turbo as a daily for 2 years now :)

Boost doesn't kill engines it's detonation that kills engines.

Dont mean to interupt but what do you mean new hi flows?

@Johnilicite: Thanks for the info. Using the adaptronic ECU in the VVT tab. This is for the Kia sportage. would you know what those sittings are corresponding for? Thanks.

And Grimsy. Thanks for submitting the dyno result. This is using the current profile, the very distinct difference between the two, is the current model has no issues holding boost and much happier taking on timing. Great work.

My brother got his s13 road tuned today with atr28ss2 and s15 VCt motor only on 20psi due to running pump 98

Goes good but definately doesn't feel as fast as my 180sx but power feels very linear and comes on instantly

Not like mine as it hit 3500-4000rpm there's a big surge in power and throws you back or tyres fry

We will soon see the difference as were going to the drags soon

^^

Thanks for the feed back.

Everyone getting in on those HPA courses atm!

cheers

I do highly recommend people go on the HPA site and at least acknowledge the content in EFI fundamentals and road tuning before even think of modifying any cars.

It would contain a good entry level information for a brief understanding of what the tuner does, what a good tune is, and how power and torque is generated in relation with supporting mods installed.

#@hypergear - with constant variable timing this is where it gets really fun/confusing as the cam timing varies over RPM & LOAD, i.e. MAP

Ignoring the duty cycle settings (determines how much duty is required to shift the cam actuator) & and the controller gains (closed loop calculations P = proportion gain at present correction, I = Integral gain past correction, D = derivative gain future correction)

VVT1 = Intake Cam

VVT2 = Exhaust Cam

VVT1 = uses Fuel 2 table to set the angle, which is depending on RPM & MAP - this makes it 3 dimensional, that being (RPM, MAP and angle of advance/retard).. so as MAP increases and/or RPM increases the timing changes. If you click Target Angles it will take you directly to Fuel 2 table.. please note the values showing in there are not fuel correction values.

VVT2 = uses just a standard RPM table, there's only 2 dimensions in there.. that being the RPM and the angle of advance/retard of the cam

Unfortunately I've never tuned cars with varying cam timing so I can't input too much here.. I've always worked with Nissan's dinosaur on/off timing (which makes tuning much easier too) :)

But I can imagine as RPM increases you would want the advance on the intake to decay i.e. retard, however at the same time you want to advance the exhaust cam as RPM increases to promote more air being "pumped".

Yep, did that! :D Going for a 1 on 1 course at Unigroup Engineering once i register my 300ZX :D

Anyone used Siemens Deka V injectors? they come in "short" length, i.e. 48mm end to end OR 35mm O-ring to O-ring?

They seem to be pretty good based on these tests:

http://racetronix.com/product/Injectors/FI114700_Brochure.pdf

I've been trying to redo my injector needs by finding a cheaper alternative (yes I'm being cheap, but I can't envisage spending $1.2k+ on stuff when the motor cost the same price)

Posting some updates:

Been dummying some direct bolt for Holden VL Turbos. This particular one is made based on our ATR43G3 turbocharger. Factory 2.5 inches cast dump is not replaced with a full 3 inches dump including a much larger 38mm internal gate. Expected to support 260~280rwkws on a RB30ET with supporting mods on P98 fuel. Bigger profiled turbochargers can also be be built based on the same turbine housing configuration. That includes our ATR43SS2 (500HP), SS3(530HP), SS4(550HP) and G4(600HP) models.

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
