Did you check the muffler bearings? Also, last time i was in your car; there was definitely a loose nut behind the steering wheel...

Haven't updated for a while not that I've really done much to it lately but did take it out to SMSP South Circuit again and managed to knock off another second off my lap time with a 1:08.26.

i got the instruction manual for the wideband i want to make sure it's going to be useful before i get it.

"The Bar Graph Display (BGD) Range Setting Mode allows you to fine tune the resolution of this instrument for your specific application. With upper and lower set point adjustability, you can set the BGD to utilize the exact range that the engine / vehicle operates within and see exactly how rich or lean you are running in relation to your current set up and tune. Adjusting your BGD limits also adjusts the scaling of the 0-4v data logger output supplied from the gauge. The selected low set point of the BGD Range becomes the 0v value of the data logger output. The selected high set point of the BGD Range becomes the 4v value of the data logger output. Whenever you change these points, the instrument adjusts the data logger output so that the 0-4v signal is always linear between your chosen set points. "

Looks pretty good Theo. WOT input looks interesting, mine doesn't have that. Although the Innovate's have a built in data logger, whereas the Auto Meter seems to want one connected (which is probably the output you'd use for the F-con).

But at the end of the day it depends on whether the tuner wants to use it constantly, or whether you just use one of those ones you can stick in the tailpipe for the day.

My dyno has its own wideband that logs afr to the graph.

I have 2 standalone widebands that can be used for datalogging or roadtuning.

I recommend putting the wideband in for piece of mind, can then see if u have a lean out etc due to fuel surge or fuel pump failures etc

Howd it go today Theo :)

So all ur worry was a false alarm, the 02 sensor reading in the cypher software the Alex was reading from has no bearing on what the actual AFR's are. Tune was fine except for the 1 area which u heard a ping at low rpm high load which was very difficult to replicate on the dyno due to the auto but i found it and fixed it.

Ps, nice single pegger skid when u left :P

Very interesting today Jez- so we know stock ECU > Theos aftermarket computer> motor.

And I can only read what the stockie puts out.

Had a great run coming back down the old Pac- volvo convoy.

Nice :)

Yeah was very weird, especially how much difference there was in the ignition timing output from his aftermarket ecu to ur software

So second tune and no gains? C'mon Theo, slap a Hypergear in there... :P

All the stock ecu does now Alex is run the throttle and cams, nothing else has a bearing other than to keep the MIL away. I have no idea what signals the Fcon sends back to keep it happy but whatever it is, thank you mr HKS.

Jez also found some little parts of the pre-loaded tune that were no so good - and sorted them out.

I've got some logs from the power runs. Might load them if I can be stuffed

That's why I wouldn't use maps designed for other cars, you will always end up chasing gremlins in the tune imo.

Post them up Alex, I would be interested to learn what the Fcon is doing to the stock ecu and that may hold the key. If I end up going down the Link G4 route I may need the same signal bending output maps... The manual transmission will open up a world of possibilities. ;)

Honestly i wouldnt trust the log files as even the timing etc is way off

Exactly right.

As I said it goes Stock ECU > aftermarket>engine.

So Ign timing is not correct for the engine, but other things like Cams, AFM, and BFS are all able to be seen accurately.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
