can i ask? "need a tune enquire within"

once upon a time.......

ok to cut a looooong story realy short

me and erin "nismogirl" raced at willowbank and i won with a 13.7, so that began the heated rivallry

next up was teh dyno. (erins choice for round 2)

1 week before the dyno day in question she was clocked at 200kw on the wheels, so was stressing as my self modded self tunned car might have been quicker down the 400 m but i doubted i would beat her on the dyno.

sooo...

i took teh arrogant approach and hyped up the day and then somehow managed to beat her, by 1kw :)

so for the salt in the wound trick, i made my sig wot it is

yip thats about it

Team Krazy:  nice...just thought u may do tuning for a living or sumthen...13.7 is pretty good tho...so do u actually tune it yaself, no dyno?

thanks :)

yip self tunned on teh road behind my house, under load in second and 3rd gear

me and my brother fitted the front mount and filter and serviced it

also fiddled some of the avcr settings at willowbank when i could get to higher speeds

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
