a question for the been there done that tuner types.

i'm wondering what the best VTC switch off point for my mods would be?... the setting is currently 4700 i and i was thinking of turning it off earlier? its quite a confusing topic after the searching and reading...i don't understand why all the dyno graphs i look at seem to peak up when its turned off...and then i've had other advise to say keep it on longer....

can anybody help me understand this? i'm trying to learn to tune

relivant mod list

z32 afm

upgraded factory turbo running 16-17psi (1.15bar)

Yuh, One run with it switched off early, one run with it switched off late. See where the lines cross and set it more or less to there and see how it goes after that. Not quite rocket science.

Yes that's a method, however with it switched off I find from my personal, limited & road only tuning abilities you can dial in more timing with it switched off so then when you over lay it again the intersection point will shift again.

I would say that it would be best switched off at maximum VE to reduce the need to pull out timing (this will be dependant on turbo too of course)

I am pedantic, and at least for full power runs tune the whole timing/fuel map with it off - then do the same with it on, then you get to see the maximum potential of both (MBT and the torque number produced tends to change a bit) - *THEN* you can see when to turn it off, and then if/when to turn it back on again ;) No one size fits all on this one, I don't think.

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
