i have for some time been looking at the Dwell ign VS rpms in the PFC for my rb25 motor but i don't know if i should are is it necessary for my motor with mods to mess with it. the mods are t76 turbo, all bolts on, 1000cc injectors, 2 fuel pumps running e85. so i know that timing will need to be up a lil more just from using e85 but don't know much about it. if anyone is an experience tuner with this please shine some light on it for me.

I personally haven't, but I say on full load, row 16 on your map reads 17 15 13 13 13 13 13 14 14 15, e85 will allow more advanced timing so it "could" be like 21 19 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 118 18 , etc....

you get the ideal.

what coils? i have a few good setups.

naw on e85 mines like 55 55 55 55 55 48 48 48 42 42 42 40 40 35 with no knock and while i was on the dyno i was gaining hp but i stopped adding cuz i thought that was pretty high

The knock resistance of E85 is quiet high and on most setups you can run virtually whatever ignition curve you want without knock. However there is absolutely no point going further than MBT as you will cause combustion gases to act on everything within the chamber for longer. E85 tuning really needs to be done on the dyno to find MBT.

MBT(Minimum advance Best for Torque)

The ideal ignition timing to produce maximum torque for a given load and engine RPM. Applying this value for every stage would be extremely efficient and minimize load on the engine while driving.

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
