Its not a serious question, Its a trick question. Its also a demonstration to show that statements like the above shouldn't be posted unless you know exactly what you are talking about.

So why do you "know exactly what you are talking about" and others don't ? :P

So why do you "know exactly what you are talking about" and others don't ? :P

Anything I post, I make sure I know what I am saying and have some sort of real world relevance as an example.

I don't just bust out comments like "More revs means more inefficiencies due to friction in all the moving parts"

All the parts weigh the same, with more revs they are doing the same work more often. Does this make them or the engine less efficient?

Now I don't know the answer. But do I post it unless I do know the answer. No

Because he is a very experienced tuner, and you are not?

What does tuning have to do with me saying two engines making the same power level will use different amounts of fuel? He even agreed they would use different amounts of fuel, I don't even know why there is a debate.

If we really want to make appeals to authority to justify our claims, then I am the engineer and he is not. Kind of silly isn't it?

and what does BMSP have to do with anything realting to the tuneability of an ECU

lol I think the OP came to a conclusion ages ago.

Hi,

Just to mention:

The Z32 ECU does also switch VTC (or VCT) based on engine load / speed / temperature so a switch based one sole RPM might not be as good.

.

Z32 can control the VCT and it has something else that it can control better, I can't remember but pete from nistune was telling me, might have been something with the knock sensors I can't remember.

But you can easily control the VCT via an MSD window switch or an eboost street (with built in window switch). There is plenty of discussion on the nistune forums and on here regarding the differences if you do a search though. :)

I've heard of people wiring it permanently on because it performs better than off, so I wouldn't be too worried about it say burning out the solenoid or anything.

Know it is fine in my car using a window switch, I just make it turn off below 1.5k so it isn't on all the time.

Having it on constantly would cost you power at higher RPM.

The genuine R33 ECU switches off at around 4600RPM.

I guess a window switch will work fine, though the load triggered activation has a certain appeal to it.

Its mainly people with rb20 ecu's or ones that that dont have any control over the vtc. NIStune have proved

That running the vtc permantly on is alot better for mid to low power/torque but may lose 10 kw at peak power

Still one has to ask himself why did Nissan go through all the hassle of VTC activation if switching it on permanently

just takes off 10KW at the upper band.

(So I don't buy the 10KW)

;)

There are comparison dyno graphs somewhere on here, I know mine added 15kw in the midrange, unsure of top end loss with it stuck on though.

When trying to sell cars the 10kw is a massive thing.

Just like those guys running 290ish kw's that 10kw puts them in the 300's which is huuge just because it has a 3 at the start of it

I will try it with my drift car.

Were also trying another cheap vtc setup which is always on but the turns off above a preset rpm say 5000rpm. This works out alot cheaper and should do exactly what we want

    • If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.
    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
