I don't know how to fix your tune but can you get 200L drums of toluene or methanol and add a few litre to each tank full to up the quality a bit?

Checked out that whole toluene thing a while back and did not seem feasible so i ended up buying a coolingmist wmi kit which is still in the cupboard somewhere along with some greddy cam gears....

Was really waiting until the turbo upgrade to install both but i think i'll give it a shot soon as i feel comfortable with the "base" tune i have now so i can use that to compare to.

I will be using water only first and see how that goes as a lot of ppl locally use it alone with decent results

Isnt that with R34 N1 turbs and higher boost?

The oem ecu has timing @ 24* also, so I have it around there but just alot richer than it would have been normally,....the stock ecu only gets to 11.0afr @ around 7k...well in my experience at least

knk is around 15

Nah...I'm in one of the Caribbean islands and AFAIK its measured similar to yours and not by the US standard

I would like to confirm that 100% but i dont know where to get that sort of info and if it would be reliable to start with....

Thats why i wanted to know the difference you guys see between 95 and 98 to get a comparison

Ha ha....i guess so...or even better as a matter of fact, > a "tuner" has my buddys car @ 37* on 16psi :domokun:

So i take it your 21* is on similar boost like what i run?

37* timing is Alot ! Even on 98 lol

Sure ur not running 110 octane

Well time for a little update......

I have secured all sorts of loose shit under the center console/dash and under the car and tuned the timing around 24* which is what the oem ecu would normally run and i'm not hearing any vibration/rattle again and the values on the pfc is 10-12 max and very low on the safc2 as well and i have that set really sensitive

So i believe that the noise wasnt actually detonation but i have taken out a few degrees here and there so the safc would not show any high values like i was seeing before.....so i guess now its dyno time to compare ign advance to torque gain to see where shes happy

Man....talk about paranoid!!! every fu$king thing sounds like detonation!

Any tricks to listen for knk on the dyno??? With your bare ear i mean.....i just dont have any other devices available to pick up knk

Get a long piece of vacuum hose and pushover the end of and inlet manifold stud, run it back into the car and listen to it. I have made a knock detection setup impromptu @ the track using industrial ear muffs drilled so the vacuum hose pushes inside the ear muffs to block out ambient noise, worked well but would not be good for your hearing long term :)

I saw you request for info a page or so back from march and i apologise for no reply. (havent been on here for months, very busy atm) Feel free to email your map to me i will have a look for you on the quiet. info@chequeredtuning.com

Actually i had the same idea but using a garden hose instead, but had not decieded where to position it on the block.

I see you mount the kmon sensor by the fuel line bracket, do u suggest placing the hose around the same area or maybe closer to no.6 on one of the studs at the back of the plenum?....its in a rwd chassis so i have room to work with

No need to apoligise btw, i know you have to be busy with the new projects i see rolling out :thumbsup: never the less i really appreciate youre time and help and i will email you the stuff a little later when i get some time...busy as well

Thanks a mil

Wowsers. My own GTR runs around 21 max at 11.7

Hmmmm...you didnt mention what boost, but does it mean you guys actually run less timing than the stock ecu therefore de-tuning the car for safety because of your 98 compared to the Japs 100?

honda? e85.

Hahaa rb26 .....but not for much longer i guess!

I run around 20 psi. I never push any cars to the knock threshhold but. So im sure i can run more timing.

My car goes to the circuit a fair bit. I only run on low boost 15psi at the circuit. So the tune is kept a bit safer

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
