hmm i might try that tomorrow then.

there is ignition timing and additional boost on the nismo - actually not sure about the boost increase.

well i know the arx MUST be tune differently as from factory it runs a few psi extra.. and who knows if nissan advanced abit of timing to compensate for the extra ass...

Getting back to informeter and modifying the signals from these 2 pots, when I made changes to increase opening from 80% to 90%, the informeter would read LESS than 80% (closer to 70% actually) and then the ECU would back off the fuel (cause it thinks I don't have the throttle opened as much as I do) so I would see the injector pulse width drop down (meantime I'm going faster) & of course the knock sensor would put an end to it pinch.gif I'm hoping for better results at the lower end of the spectrum though. There's more fuel at launch and that is where we want the benefit anyway soooo.... we'll wait & see.

seeing as i've got a wideband in maybe me n scott will also figure this one out. but im starting to think it may have something to do with the fuel map as Cihan cant tune the car under 3000rpm when in third, as if he floors it it will kick down to first and jump off the dyno..

so it could also be a possbility that the low end fuel map is muck, as mine does strange things according to the wideband, but once it gets to 3000rpm, ratio sits at about 12v and everything hammers

maybe we could talk Ian into sticking his spare motor on an engine dyno to see if Gihan can tune the emanage to suit! :P

Not that it would really concern Ian or I....but we do like to help when we can.

I think if the transmission has anything to do with it, just an engine dyno wouldnt work i dont think.. Cihan needs to do a track coughroadcough tune from standing still, to full ball in first. Maybe we can get around it with just that(i like to dream)

Now that's a generous offer :thanks: guys.

just food for lhought guys

the voltage range on most tps's is 0-5V

when you hook up an ecutalk display you can configure it to show tps volts or %

but for the % to show correctly you have to calibrate it as WOT isn't actually the max range of the sensor

is there any way to calibrate your display thingos?

and has anyone run the throttle out of the car and seen how far the butterfly is open at 86%?

yeah we already know its a range calibration on the informeter, i mentioned that one page back. at 86% its WOT

thats not the problem. being BTW the ECU retards the throttle to limit torque, we want it back. at almost any cost :P

I reset the Voltage range for the throttle this morning on the the informeter and now see throttle in the 40% bracket when stalling. It was a very brief stall and not completed so this may be a little higher in reality.

I will try to get a proper number later today.

by doing the Throttle position reset or?

is there a way to do it in the informeter??

VQ's have twin TPS signals, 0-5v and 5-0v.

The 36% at stall opening is the big issue, not the 86% once it opens.

Perhaps the issue at stall is just an input to the ecu from the brake. Maybe the nismo has this turned off but for those of us without "awesome", we could just cut the wire....

my thought exactly. i said it earlier but im not too confident in exactly which wire that is.

    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
    • But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
