But.. how can we agree on something? I run a Haltech that fits into my kick panel.

No Peter loves living dangerously like you and runs a haltech without a crank trigger.

You should get Emtron, it will double your power instantly.

Don't be silly, you know that any ECU can make power, its how it behaves everyday and weather it delivers on the features it's marketed with.

 

Anyway looks like Piggaz cheaped out and bought a knock off Motec m150....

So somehow the ECU is the issue, not the old CAS, and moving to a superior crank trigger setup is the fix, but we blame the ECU?

Sounds backwards?

Wait? I've got it! Its because the signal has to travel through so many boxes and so many wires!

See now you are starting to get it...

 

The old powerFC, Nistune and adaptronic don't suffer from issues... unless of course the loom is cooked or the CAS is actually faulty..

I bet all cases of timing related issue are definitely tested properly as being the ECU for sure.

So how much better does your car run since switching?

They are actually, but let's not get the facts in the way of things. As long as you are happy with your car that's all that matters!

Lol if your in vic go for a drive in Andrews car

next day you will rip out haltech and put a power fc in and have a retune with the bloke who sorts his car

100% garentee that

How much better is your car to drive now you've switched from Haltech to Emtron anyway, must have been a massive improvement? 

Bit weird Mick, you thought the Haltech was decent a few months ago? What happened? 

"Hey guys up for grabs is a Haltech elite 2500 with a patch loom by haltech to suit an R34 GTR. ECU has only been in the car for around 10000km max im sure anybody shopping around knows the capabilities of this top of the line ECU. $2800ono"

I guess top of line doesn't actually mean it's any good I suppose. Soi I reckon the improvement must be massive and dyno proven with no other changes to skew results... 

 

Lol i sold that POS on behalf of a friend. I never thought it was good as it never remembered the tune properly mate.

Sadly that wasn't a bad thing because the tune was as bad as the ECU ?

I wasn't going to offer my ACTUAL opinion on that when i was trying to sell it haha ?

    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.   
    • Here's the torque curves from the car I ramped boost up later in the rpm to allow a slightly wider useful power curve - the power curve is a bit weird shaped also thanks to the TVIS (or whatever they call it with the 4EFTE in this Starlet) which changes the volume of the intake manifold throughout the rpm range, but you can see that the green power curve actually holds later on with the extra boost... but looks almost more like the kind of thing you'd expect from a cam or exhaust change
