as per my quote, ER34 ECU has excess airflow and boost protection, ECR33 ecu does not, so you are hitting the map sensor cut

and there is no R34 GTST

R34 GTT

R34 GTV

R34 GTR

etc

Yea cool cool, point taken. I'll take it like a man and admit I was wrong about the model badging.

Lo boost on Greddy - gain 28% set gain 13% Start gain .46 gives me about 7.3 peak boost

Hi boost on Greddy - gain 38% set gain 18% start gain .55 gives me about 9.3 peak boost

Running "lo" boost is fine

Running "hi" = what you see on the dyno charts

Classic result of stock ECU interference. Get yourself an aftermarket ECU.

lol had same result with my old R33 GTST, made all of 99rwkw with a power line that looked like it was attached to a pogo stick... after market ecu in and hey presto 191rwkw and a much nicer driving car :down:

but there is a clear difference here

R33 has excess air flow cut

R34 has excess air flow cut and map sensor protection

you need to avoid both or "clamp" both to get the normal power gains when you add more boost

ie an safc or a piggyback to work around the excess airflow is ok, but the stock map sensor protection will still fire

run the map sensor protection into an expose vac line (so it always reads ambient pressure and never changes) and crimp the line (to stop vac leak)

that way when you boost it up, the ECU looks at the map sensor and only ever see's ambient pressure so it should never fire the excess boost protection

I remapped ecu for his car today and his problem fixed.

But his car is air leaking from somewhere so still AFR rich.(leaking noise from engine bay.)

I think around FMIC pipe.

Map sensor boost limiter start at 14psi.

So std turbo do not need remove limiter.( I think safer for std turbo)

mapping the car was a mistake.

why map a a car with a boost leak? the turbo is obviouly running flat out to try and keep the boost up as well.

then once he fix's the boost leak, usually the owners dont change any mapping or even get the car looked at... whats going to happen to the engine then ?

you should get the boost leak fixed then get toshi to check his tune. IMO

He does not know ecu problem or another problem.

So I install remap ecu to his car then go to road test.

His problem is fixed by remap ecu.

But big air leak noise from engine bay on freeway.( he say this noise after install FMIC)

Also AFR very rich.

So I install base remap data to ecu this time.(did not tune)

My feel around 30KW more than before.

He will fix air leak his self ( because FMIC fitted his self) then he will come back to me for re tune ecu.

R34 has excess air flow cut and map sensor protection

What does it sound/feel like when it hits map sensor protection?

I am running a bigger turbo with 18psi but still on my standard turbo 10psi tune so am being very careful until its tuned. I gave it a little bit and it made a bit of a 'pop' noise. Was a little worried but everything feels fine afterwards.

pop can be lean so take it easy :P

Airleak seems to fit well. The measured airflow would have been much higher than the 9psi boost would suggest. Hence getting well into the rich & retard zone of the standard map.

Yea taking off all intake pipework and cooler pipework this afternoon. Will check all vac hoses and exhaust gaskets too. Will even try installing the SMIC and put the standard BOV back on too. I hope it's something very simple and easy.

Driving it at all is stupid if you've changed the turbo and more than doubled the airflow. Don't get it on boost at all.

    • Oh and I lost my headlight washer jet cover!
    • Ok, so I got myself some X1 wheels really cheap to try out, they're a bit different and I like them but they're really narrow (18x8) they are available in staggered 18x8/9 also but really hard to find.  I kinda dig them, but not as much as the F10 19's I usually run, so these go into the wheel pile.   As I mentioned in another thread, I got a new exhaust. It's an off-the-shelf stainless one that fits OH-KAY. I don't love the tips size and how far they come out the back, I think I might cut the tips off and replace with some smaller (~3") ones that don't extend as far. It sounds really good though, I'm not sure if its just in my head but the car feels a little quicker, more responsive.    I fitted an eBay special front lip. Surprisingly it fit perfectly and all holes lined up. Its a little rickety but I haven't put any double sided tape on yet, I want to clean the front bar up where it has scraped the road a lot and fil in the number plate holes (or, get body coloured wrap to cover them - is this a thing?  I'm not sure if I'll leave it gloss or pain it matte. I really like it though, I don't particularly like the front bar without it, I don't really like the M-Sport and to get anything else is just too expensive. That said, I might need a new one now anyway as I dropped the car onto the jack after forgetting to put ramps under the front wheels. It bent a lot and while it did go back to normal after I got the car off the jack, I do fear I have not done it any favours.   Lastly, my headlights died. Different problems in each. They have gotten much dimmer over the past year or so, I put new (uber expensive) OSRAM bulbs in them but to no avail. One of them pointed at the ground and the other just kinda did its own thing with light working sometimes. Yeah, check this 18 year old BMW headlight wire. I reckon I know why they were stuffed.       BTW, the yellow and black is the power to the Xenons. Yikes. I hunted around an researched my options here. I would have loved to just get a replacement harness but not a thing. My car has adaptive headlights, that is they rotate left and right with the steering wheel. Good condition used adaptive xenons were over $700 each, non adaptive were around $400 each, but I couldn't help but think that they're all around 18 years old now, surely they'd have the same problems. So I looked at newer LCI headlights but they were even more expensive and I couldn't confirm that they'd be plug and play with lots of people having lots of opinions so not worth the risk.  I ended up getting brand new Chinese headlights from MARS. They're very close to OEM with only the angel eyes being a bit different. I didnt want crazy turn signals or sharp DRL's or anything. Not my bag.  They're not adaptive, I thought thats a feature I wouldn't really miss. So I coded that out.  The lights are awesome, they look so nice and they take so many years off the car. The angel eyes look great and the headlight brightness is ridiculous. I was so used to the old ones, I didn't realise just how bad they were. The new ones use the OEM bulbs, Xenon ballast and leveller motor which I was happier with. The only issue with them is that the rear cover is held on by SEVEN screws. This will be a nightmare to get to and open when I need to change bulbs.  
    • Now that you mention it I can see those too. More subtle. The lighting and low resolution makes it hard to assess super well what's going on but what is visible is bad enough to pull the motor.
    • I feel like this is due an update
    • Yeah, I wasn't giving two f**ks for the ring running around the bore. I was looking at the vertical scratches running up and down across the hatch marks.
