My nearside dipped beam doesn,t work but the main beam does, I,ve put in new globes without success and there is no power to the dip beam terminal. I,ve checked all the fuses near the pedal box and all seem ok also the ones near the battery which are fine so 3 questions

Do the dip and main lights have seperate fuses for each one

Is there a fusebox i,ve missed

Does anybody know which fuses are for the h/lights

I,m guessing a wire has become disconnected where they were joined at compliance but can,t get hold of Chris Rogers who did the electrics for ADR

do you have the factory HIDs in there or the butchered halogen 'conversion'?

if its the halogen conversion, open the back of the light unit up and check the ground wire. it probably attaches to the surround that the lamp fits into. make sure the adaptor plate it makeing good contact.

there is a 3rd fuse box BEHIND the battery, youll need to remove the cover around the batter to get to it. down there are the fises for the headlights.

hope that helps mate!

ahh also, if you do have HIDs still, one of the burners may have burnt out. does it flash for a second when you turn on the lights? thats a good indication the burner has failed

Thanks Ian for info, think earth is ok as main beam works so will look at that 3rd fuse box. Chris Rogers did the lights so thinking it,ll be a good job

dipped beam? ok apologies i thought you meant the low-beam lights. Youre talking about the fog lights, correct?

ok, if it IS the fog lights youre talking about, during compliance the plug is removed from behind the stalk. if you look on the front-facing side of the stalk, there is a small pull-out section. remove it and there will be aplug that has been disconnected (mine was NOT cut - luckily). All you need to do is plug it back in, be VERY careful as i bent a pin and had to remove the indicator/headlight stalk (not all that difficult) and straighten it all out to get it working again.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
