Hey.

So ive got a r33,rb25det..

Just installed bigger turbo,the closest i can compare to would be garret 3071r.

Power fc

external 38mm turbosmart ultragate

Z32 afm and 580cc injectors...

After a huge f**k around with getting it tuned,when i was assured i would have it back same day,it finally got done.

Got 326.6hp at wheels..boost is spiking at 18,and droping back to 15 by redline..

Quote for tune was $500,ended up costing $750.

Now after driving the car around for a few weeks,im noticing it kind of hesitates sometime when light on the throttle,seems to cold start fine,but then other random times it cranking over for 10sec or more and just coughing to life..hot or cold..

Also had to wind the boost down the other day as engine light had been flashing on,and was advised it was detonating..

I know the car's not perfect,but think it mite be worth my while getting the tune looked at by someone else..

Im living near newcastle..so anywhere around here or sydney..

Also any advise is also welcome

cheers

What turbo precisely? It seems like there is more to the story.

I would spend more time talking to your tuner before getting too far ahead. Ask more questions about why the car seems to be pinging, why it is hard to start etc.

If you have done this then what was their response?

yes common sense prevails here please

far too often we see people go get a tune, and any tiny isssue is a mega 6 page thread about the workshop being crap and a rip off before the guy spends 5 minutes talking to the workshop / tuner. please discuss with the workshop and let them address the issues. if you dont want to go back to them, goto another workshop for a 2nd opinion

have a look on your powerfc at the knock/detonation. mine never goes above 20 on 98 oct but when i have only been able to get 95 oct it has gone up to 60-80ish. think the light comes on at 100 or more from memory. make sure you have low numbers

turbo is a billet...i rang mr turbo on the goldcoast to try and track down the exact specs of the turbo,he said it would have similar spec wheels as a garrett 3071r... with .63 rear housing

I cant check knock as i dont have a hand controller for the computer,which was a problem in its self as tuner said his software wouldnt recognize my computer,saying it must be too old,so i borrowed a hand controller so he could tune it,which he did through the controller..

Boost is spiking because of crap bleed valve..two ways of fixing that is:1. another spring in the wastegate to run 18psi,or 2 get an electronic boost controller...?

Im not naming the tuner as i dont know for sure it's a tune problem....

Cheers

my GTR has to be tuned with the hand controller too, trust me my tuner HATES doing it with the hand controller but the datalogit doesnt connect with all POWER FC's. mine is an older model FC i think.

nothing wrong with tuning with the hand controller its just more time consuming and more fiddly going in and out of menu's

hand controller tuning is fine and has been the std for god knows how long?

its only in the last few years workshops have got onto datalogit as mainstream

datalogit makes it quicker and easier (less cost) and lets you be a bit more picky

but there would be hundreds of well setup quick cars with hand controller tunes

go back to the place who tuned it

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
