Oh, and found out I have the dreaded cylinder 6 oil leak! Oh well, doesn't stop anything running- sure put out a smoke screen last night!

I have got the idle running stoic at normal temperature. Still runs like a bag of shit though. At least I know it won't foul the plugs on the way to the tuner. Took it for a quick spin to make sure its drivable so its all good.

Question- what do I give it a tank full of now? I was thinking BP Ultimate, what do you guys think?

United 100 :)

James noticed that his untuned HKS V35 ran smoother on it. He then tried V-Power and the car was stuttering randomly when cruising. Dunno if it did it on BP Ultimate (I think it did), but for comparison he was quite surprised with how much better it ran on the United 100.

BP ultimate.

awaits new fuel debate.

P.S. before you say it Scott.....we cannot get E85 everywhere for the 100th time!

I don't see why you wouldn't just run 98 PULP...its not like you can crank up the boost if you do run E85 anyway....:ninja:

Sure, not as many servos as us, we have about 20 now. :nyaanyaa:

I guess we just buy more ethanol than you petrol heads...

Well, yeah, I can actually- but I just don't need 22psi to see some horsepower....ninja.gif

Both of them absolutely nowhere near us!

Still, I would get both tunes. You guys seem to think I run this shit because it gives more power. That wasnt the reason at all, I wanted the detonation protection it gives and this is unfortunately what you require too now Alex.

Won't a good tune give him that! I've seen a few SR20de+T tuned by my mate and never had an issues with detonation as you tune it safe and correctly for each set up and situation.

It will be fine on 98oct

Edited by slippylotion

Still too much load on the rods, you want to run the least timing you can which makes it run like ass. Better, slower burning fuel is the key, especially with high comp engines.

Of course it will be fine on 98 but for how long...

Agree tuning is the key- which is why I'm using who I'm using. Det doubles or triples the load on the rods- thats what does them in. Idiot tuners jam heaps of ignition in them to bring them on hard- thats whats to be avoided as far as I can tell. Detonate on 98, detonate on E85- both will kill the motor, as it would any other motor. They just have to be tuned without producing overly high cylinder pressures.

Scotty- put it this way- by the time I went an bought a tank of E85, and drove it home, it'd just be about time to turn around and go to fill it back up. In the future, if it gets rolled out widespread around sydney- I'll think about it. I'm not keeping a fing barrel in my garage. This is a daily!

superchargedg-2003 coupe 5at-stock block-stillen stage 4-a couple more things-340rwhp on a dynapack(i dont believe it though) about 25,000 miles driven hard at times. 382rwhp and 396rwt on the greddy twins at 9psi. And its a 5at. 05/26/10 Update 82,000 miles FI'ed with 30,000 with the twins

Canadian - 2006 5AT Coupe. JWT TT @ 7psi ~370whp. Fast Intentions Exhaust, Defi Blue Racer gauges. Installed and tuned by Relentless Autosports. Built 5AT. Stock internals. 37k miles boosted 53k total.

voryGT-V-2004 Coupe 6MT, Greddy Twins,6psi low 350 whp and 10 psi 400high ,Fcon pron, plenum spacer, all bolt ons,15k on boosted motor, still running strong.

Mark350gt - 404whp 9psi. HKS Fcon VPRO. 750cc injectors, walbro fuel pump, and a bunch of other stuff. 13,xxx miles no prob.

These are a few of the poeple with higher kms. I'm a bit sick of people saying its a grenade. They got that rep because idiots in the US (and here too) didn't know how to tune them. Lessons have been learnt. I'm not saying its a strong as a VQ25, but don't underrate them either.

+1 United 100. My car always seems to run better on it, not sure what the difference would be for a tune though, 10% ethanol vs BP Ultimate.

You only have two Uniteds with E85 in NSW? We have more than that! Plus even more when you factor in Caltex and Liberty...

Could also come down to the fact that my BCM is FRIED, new one getting fitted tomorrow :thumbsup:

Agreed, and the same goes to the people that have a prob with the CVT in the GT8, 3 months since I strapped the turbo on and I havent had a single problem with mine.:cheers:

Good luck today Alex. Look forward to seeing the result and reading the details :)

Possibly, and about bloody time it came in.

Give the service manager there a punch to the throat for me will ya mad.gif

Turns out we were a little offblush.gif

Things to note (no excuses! but various factors) Unigroup has whats explained to me as a "sad" dyno, not a Happy dyno like Envy Imports, Temp was about 31 or 32 in the cell by this stage. The Run was done in 4th Gear (unlike NM35s who use 3rd because of the speed cut)

Yavuz seriously knows his shit- as someone else had mentioned, dude is a scientist. He whipped out the calculator and estimated 175kw from my previous dyno sessions. Full boost comes on just after 2500rpm, and holds to just under 4 SPI by 6500rpm. That line you can see is 4 psi- sorry my photo is a bit crooked! Its pretty much full noise by about 4750rpm. Very nice flat graph.

AFR's are very conservative- starts at 12.5 and lowers to 11.5 by max RPM

Sorry, don't have a video, because I was in the car with Yavuz, going through the software. Very positive feedback from him re Uprev- comment was its much more user friendly than NISTune, and more set up like full after market (Link G4 / Haltech etc)

Someone must have snuck in and replaced my gearbox with a sponge when I wasn't looking- its gone to shit. I have the classic NM35 3 second wait before it snaps the next gear in manual mode. I believe that I can change this- the ECU has a torque management table - what we did to the base schedule was basically halve it (due to injectors and K value), so this needs to be applied to the gearbox too- the ECU tells the box when to expect max power, and adjusts the line pressures to suit. So thats a little project for me.

Hot start is acceptable- I have to work on cold start, as the car hasn't been cold!

So there you go- I'm a little bummed that I didn't crack 200, however its a blast to drive, the power is pretty instant, torque is great, it is (like every unigroup tune) a very safe and usable map. When done- the price was unbelievable. I actually paid him more than he asked, I thought he ripped himself off- told him to look out for me next time!

projects- plug the o2 sensors back in when its cold- see if the problem remains, cold start tuning, Gearbox scaling (will need mark from Abbeys help hereblush.gif), see how much I have left on the stock MAF, get upgraded MAF and shove 7PSI down it until something breaks!

SCOTTY- got your package today thumbsup.gif thanks. Hope nothing has melted- pinch.gif

Congrats on the tune; as you say, it's less about the number, and more about how it drives.

It was incredibly humid today, and with the temp it's probably not too surprising. At only 4 psi; I reckon you'd be happy with that.thumbsup.gif

    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
    • Can we unpin a bunch of dead / irrelevant threads from: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/8-engines-forced-induction/ New players at home will scroll and think this forum is dead.
    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way
