Hi all..

I'm after some help in tuning up my RB20det which is sitting in my 260z.. I've got a fully programable EMS computer with a Handset.

The car came with the ems but wasn't running due to some mechanical issues.. All of these issues are now sorted except the EMS. The car seems to be running fine but it doesn't produce ANY power... The turbo spools up and the hand set reads 10psi boost but there is no difference between on boost and off boost.

Was wondering if anyone on here was running an EMS that could give me an idea of the settings that you are using.

The only modification to this one is a larger VG30 Non ball bearing turbo + 2.5" exhaust.

Is it possible to copy maps and settings from one EMS to another?

I'm in Adelaide and any help would be appreciated!.

Have you got the ems cable to connect the ems to a laptop or pc and the ems software to setup using laptop or pc. If not their url is http://www.fuel-injection.com/. you can download it there.

Which ems have you got mine is the Duel Sport.

Skyrine-Dave,

thanks for that mate that will definatly be of help, what sort of power did you get out of it with those mods? did the EMS make much of a difference for you?

51Jay, the model number is QI-4 from around about 1999 so i'm not sure if that means its a dual sport or not.

R31-GTSX, thats a dual sport model. I have the QM4/QI4.

With that setup it ran 236hp@wheels. Which really isnt that great considering what is done to it.

When you go into setup it should have a 1, or 2 down the bottom right? i think. That indicates which map you are on. I havent used this before but i think you can have a tune for say outright HP or a tune for economy and switch between the two.

236hp isn't bad at all!

i'd be pretty happy with that, do you have a fuel pressure regulator on yours? if so what fuel pressure are you running on boost and off boost.?

A couple of other things i have to do first is install a surge tank and some larger diameter fuel lines then i'll hook it up to the lap top and punch in the numbers you gave me... then i'll go from there.. Its a good start!

I'm just not sure how different mine would be running a lower spec fuel pump than yours.. plus the zed's not intercooled as yet.

Thanks again.

i have another tune sheet i can send ya, but it was tuned for a GTR intercooler, and when i ran my setup on that tune with a stocko 32 cooler the car ran waaay to rich and managed to foul a set of plugs in 2 weeks.

I got the stocko reg on my car, as i have 460cc injectors going in soon. Dont know if i should get a rising rate reg or not.

as for fuel pump. I had the richer map tuned for a R33 GTS-t fuel pump. So whatever pump you have should be fine.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.

      It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
