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

    • I've run most of the semis which are available and sadly you can pretty much rank them by price.  Fast and spendy = Z221, A050, DZ03G Ok and mid range price = R888, V70A, A052 I don't really rate the AR-1 because it's not cheap enough for the performance level offered. Yes, they're much cheaper than A050 but V70A can be had just as cheap and is a much faster and more predictable tyre.
    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.
