I agree - the number means very little at this stage. There's obviously lots more in it should you wish to push it. Sort out the gearbox & other minor things & see what happens.

In the end it's all about the drive. I'd take tractable, low down power any day over a high end peaky engine with a 'big number'.

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

nice work! glad its tuned, the power number isnt a big deal, its the torque youll be pulling :)

i agree yavuz is awesome at his job, also a great guy

Well done Alex on getting it to a tune.. has taken a lot longer for some of us M35 drivers :whistling:

Cheers

Andy

Thanks guys- It is a good feeling I have something I can get into, knowing that it has been run, tested, and made safe. Its defiantly very torquey- Jetwreck will share some impressions I'm sure once he gets a chance to drive it.

Who made the call on the boost limit?

HKS Wastegate was set with a spring (or a fart seeing its so light). No other boost control at this stage. Its a pretty nice steady line happy.gif

Good work Alex!

Can we hypothesise on what numbers you'd see at higher boost? 4PSI is incredibly low, as Leon says a lot more in it.

Theres a glass bottom end in his engine according to Craig though, so Im not sure how high they'll ramp the boost :P

Well, just worked backwards using an average of my 2 NA dyno runs.

Every 1psi makes an extra 11.3kw in the current scale. Hardly scientific / precise, but its a start?

Nice. So 15 PSI would be good for 300kW+ using that logic.

True, but isn't that just because Alex needs to bite the bullet...

Needs more Tomei rods - http://www.cipmotorsports.com/tovqcoro.html

Needs more HKS rods and pistons? http://www.nengun.com/hks/piston-connecting-rod-set

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

No worries Alex, better get it on quick smart. Change the wastegate spring for a 1 bar unit while you're under there and lets see what she's good for mate. ;)

Was there any reason a boost controller wasn't used as well to bump it up while it was being tuned or is the plan to go back and lean on it a bit harder?

It isn't an exact, but 10kw/psi gains is a good rule of thumb on GT30 based turbos after the first 10psi. Once you are near the limit then it starts dropping down.

My HKS ext gate spring is pretty soft and was rolling over last time at Unigroup.

I just wanted to see it tuned at the base level, before seeing a bit more boost. It also allows my driving a little time to catch up! We didn't have time to mess around too much- Powercruise has these guys working OT. I will definatly be going back to sus out a few things with a few "adjustments"whistling.gif

Was this the same dyno as your NA runs Alex?

Different dynos. I had one NA run at 147kw, one at 131kw. This first dyno is known as very happy (not that I knew that at the time)

Big news is that I have nailed hot start.

Bigger news is that I have my shift back!

And this explains why NM35's are suffering that dreaded delay IE why Jetwreck has to shift at 4000RPM to avoid hitting limiter. The ECU talks to the gearbox in 2 different ways- First "calculated load" which is very basic: At RPM points what base fuel schedule is seen at WOT. Secondly a map called "torque management". This is a table that compares RPM and base fuel schedule on the axis', and the numbers in the table equate to the line pressure in the gearbox. Because we reduced the base fuel schedule to around 12 at Max noise this table was waaaaayyyyyy out. It was expecting a BFS of mid 20s at max, so the line pressure would never harden up. At the moment, I'm just using the max as set from factory, and have moved it to the appropriate section of the table.

Shifts are clean and crisp without the massive delay.

This is why NM35s have trouble with the tiptronic once you add some more power in there. The computer isn't expecting to see the BFS the way it does, and then doesn't have an appropriate line pressure to suit when you ask it to shift. Its not a replacement for the transgo kit, because that is needed to hold the higher pressures.

Its wet everywhere here atm, and after doing that, in rwd the bloody thing spins up the first 3 gears!whistling.gif

Nice one Alex.

If I understand you correctly, it's not the making of the extra power that buggers with the gearbox shifts, it's the fact that much bigger injectors are being used? The base fuel schedule essentially works off injector pulse width, correct? So when adding bigger injectors you reduced the numbers in your table (to about 12 in your case) to get the fueling right, but that played up with the corresponding relationship with the gearbox computer (that was expecting numbers like 20).

Aren't you lucky to be able to delve into the programming.... aren't we (NM35 owners) a little bit screwed then, lol. Well not me as yet, just you other guys with the big squirters. There's a way around it tho, I'm sure.

:cool: re the wheel spin. Care required in the wet by the looks of it.

.....and that pretty much explain's why my shift to third is very indecisive when the E-Manage and bigger injectors are in.

mind you in Drive the GB seems to shift and sort its self out a lot quicker

Alex, I presume you can see/modify all of that information in your Uprev software?

If so, looks like I need to get me one :)

Yup- its a good bit of kit.

Correct- its the Injectors that make it instantly rooted- because of the reduction you have to make in the K fuel multiplier, and therefore BFS

HOWEVER- I would say that when you play with a NM35 and make it come on a lot stronger earlier (ie dump, exhaust, intake pipe etc) I would say that that would have all kinds of dastardly effects on the BFS (and this is why you get really rich- it goes into high BFS, low-mid rpm which it will dump fuel). If you see mine, its sort of like the dyno graph- ramps up and then levels out at about 4750rpm. so the last 4 values in my calculated load table are actually all in the 12's BFS, even though we go from 4600 to 6000 rpm or something.

Any of you guys using aftermarket computers able to access torque management?

    • I don't know how this is even possible. I removed the strut to do some work (it came out fine, and keeping in mind that I didn't put things back in the same order, but did this on purpose because I was supposed to remove the strut originally instead I tried to remove other shit first which made things a head ache) but now the problem is that it won't go back in. The alignment between where the bolt hole for the strut is and the j arm where the strut slides onto is way off, about a 10cm difference or more. In order to make it fit I'd somehow need to push it up. I tried to compress it with a spring compressor and install it but the compressor was getting in the way and there was no working room. On the photo you can see the difference between the shock and the thread that it's supposed to go on. The only things I removed in total were - the top bolts for the j arm but I didn't remove the actual j arm - the 3 bolts that hold the plate for the brake lines - the sway bar link (this bolted on back fine) - the strut/shock absorber
    • LOL that sounds pretty conclusive! Yeah if it doesn't work on a tight nut, it doesn't work.
    • Been a while since I've heard anyone mention Kumho tyres. It's like they've fallen off the radar in terms of street/track tyres. I still want to get below 1m50s on the RS-4 tyres at SMSP, just because lol. Even doing a 1m52s lap, going into T1 was sketchy af.
    • 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
