I got rid of the nasty flat spot !!!

I don't know how for sure, but read on.......

After a recent round of simple mods, I took the car in to see if everything was on track and OK.

Just a bit of background.

Used same dyno. First (lower) run don in winter on a 16 degree day, second was done on a 32-33 degree day. Dyno was run in NON shootout mode, in 4th gear.

Difference between first run and second run was a highflow cat, an adjustable exh cam gear set at 3 degrees retarded, and a different rear muffler.

Plus the ECU was out of the car for a day prior, so it would have reset itself.

Full mods are very simple, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, 12psi boost (see attached sheet) highflow panel filter in stock box, FMIC, adj exh cam gear. Stock ECU, Stock turbo.

The thing I am most happy with is that for reasons unknown I have got rid of the flat spot that most other R33 GTS-t's get. I'm still running the same ECU... The only thing I can see is maybe (and it's a big maybe) it was cause the ECU was reset the night before..

Getting rid of the flatspot has gained me about 35rwkw in the mid range !!!! VERY happy with that.... Up top it's about 10rwkw gained, but it's much smoother.

I might wind the boost up a little cause it's dropping off at the top (see attached) due to the wastegate creeping open at high RPM's.....

The next step for me is programmable ECU.. :P

Open to comments :D

Anyway, too much crapping on, have a look for yourself....

I was actually pretty happy with the A/F ratios on the second run (the green line).

They stick to 12:1 which is just about perfect, then drop to about 11.2:1 after about 4500rpm.

I could get a SAFC to lean it up above 4500rpm, but there wouldn't be much in it. I think there would be bigger gains in being more aggressive in the timing. But sadly we don't have much control (almost zero control) over the timing.

I did adjust the base timing from 15 degrees to 17 degrees and there was absolutley no difference in the runs which supprised me..... Maybe I should've gone to 20 degrees or something ??

What sorta power were you making before these mods ?

You know, that giant flat spot looked exactly the same on my SR20DET. Im pretty sure it was because the ECU was pulling timing at that particular point. After a ECU reset and resetting the timing, it never came back again...

Also that extra power came mostly from the leaner AFRs I believe.

Oh btw, you Skyline guys must have quite a shorter diff and 4th gear. On the rollers, my car goes pretty close to 165kmh in 3rd gear!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm If i put a skyline diff in my car... *GRIN*

Steve - Yepp, I think your right, better flowing uptop is helping things.

Busky2k - I'm supprised that a reset got rid of the flat spot !! If it comes back again you know what I'll be doing :D BTW: 2nd gear goes to ~105km/h, 3rd gear only goes to ~140km/h, and 4th tops out just before 180km/h, so the gearing is fairly close...

RB20LagWagon, the S14 is definitely not 4.1 dood.

The auspec workshop manual clearly states its 3.692 to be precise! Perhaps the JSpec ones are 4.1?!

Jay95R33, what are the ratios of your gearbox? I'll state what the S14 one is;

1st- 3.32 (~65kmh)

2nd- 1.90 (~113 kmh)

3rd- 1.31 (~ 163 kmh, everyone ive dragged always shift into 4th way before I do)

4th- 1.00 (no idea, never gone that far, but it hits the limiter on the dyno)

A skyline diff would do wonders on the strip in this car I reckon....

Btw, Im suprised a reset worked aswell, but I also reset the timing at the same time, as it was like 5 deg overadvanced. I think that was what really fixed it. Btw, I believe you have to disconnect the TPS during idle to get the true base timing.

Not sure on the gearbox ratios for a R33 GTS-t. If it helps any I've got a stock gearbox and the diff runs the stock 4.11 ratio.

Hmm, the first run I did yesterday with my old ECU didn't have the dip, and that was before we advanced the timing to 17 degrees. So in my case I think it may have been just the reset that got rid of the dip... Not sure...

Wierd how advancing the timing did nothing. The CAS is definatly rotated more than it was before, and at idle it showed the increase in base timing, just didn't do anything on the dyno run...

At 15 degrees and 17 degrees the two power lines were sitting right over each other.

I suppose that it's good that the car can pull off a few full power runs and not loose even 1rwkw :D:D Nice and consistant power, even on a 33 degree day ! :D

    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
