Modified PULP map and I don't do the 4500 + . The reason the light load areas are so advanced is because that's where it seems to make best part throttle torque , on E70 . Not spiking now . I will agree the timing is mild around 1 bar but that is dyno tuning territory in my opinion . I think the PULP tune was pretty tame and until I added a fair bit of light load timing felt quite flat . 

I have heard this engine rattle twice in 10 years and 88000K so I highly doubt it'll go bang . Bores looked good at 90 and ~160K . At idle no breathing out the oil filler hole at all .

Like I said lets see other peoples E70/85 timing maps , and AFR target tables .

 

Appreciate that you're sharing the important bits.  Couple of constructive observations:

Your ECU interpolates between cells quite effectively.  The MAP row 95kpa on AFR target is largely redundant.  Looks nice, does very little IMO except divert attention.   I get the gist of the 115kpa row, but unless your logging shows that the engine often hovers around that point, and the fuel and ignition mapping is done to reflect/capitalise that, maybe not a lot to gain.

Similarly with the ignition map showing a row at 90kpa.  I take a pragmatic approach, and if logging shows you rush through that zone very quickly or don't actually spend "that much" time at that load point, don't add complexity to the map. Get rid of it.

You're on ethanol.  Add 3 degrees of timing across all cells from 140-200kpa (and play carefully).  If you're running decent advance sub 100kpa then quickly take it away as boost rises, it's going to feel flat.  You know it's going to need a dyno session with someone who is at least moderately competent at some point to get ignition right, across the full load range.

Run an AFR log or two, with steady accel, and then with decent throttle above 50 percent.  The data streams will show rate of change of throttle, boost, and accel enrichment + how closely actual AFR follows the target.  To say the accel enrich values "look big" could be mistakenly ignoring that it potentially needs more. 

Finally - Have an experienced driver who doesn't know your tune pedal the car in those situations, and get their honest impression about "feel" once it's tuned more satisfactorily.  It may be better than you're thinking, and over analysing the performance of an old car.

    • Hi everyone, Apologies in advance if this feels like a topic covered multiple times. I'm only asking because some of the old topics I found are missing images now. I'm in the process of getting a manual boost controller (BC). Nothing fancy, just getting a manual one for now as I don't plan to go crazy with it and would not go over 10 PSI. My car is not jacked up on boost steroids to do crazy numbers. I want to understand the OEM setup of the boost solenoid and vacuum lines on the R34 GTT so I know what needs to be changed when I do install the BC. I sketched the current setup to the best I could see and it's on the diagram attached. If the boost controller 'Wastegate Arrow' goes from nipple 1 to 2. My understanding is that the red vacuum line's "F" connector-end should be connected to BC nipple #2? Nipple #1 is meant to have the "pressure source" so what vacuum line would that be? Is it the green vacuum line?  From what I have read here, the OEM boost solenoid is not used at this point. So that can come out and then I can just plug the nipple that usually connects to the blue vacuum line?  So would the final setup look something like this?   Thanks in advance. I don't want to already be knee-deep into pulling out vacuum lines before understanding this. I'm a noob when it comes to boost setups so trying to learn as I go.
    • Initial/early bite is a feature of.....generic pads. Things that work cold. Just put Bendix Ultimate in it. If you don't like them, it's only $3.50 wasted and an hour to change them. I've been using Intima SR, and they seem to be a good performance pad. Street friendly and able to take at least a little beating.
    • This is my first post after registering.. I hope i can find useful resources on this forum. Great forum. 
    • As I implied in my post, I have NO idea what the were. But in case I didn't make it clear, the way they performed was brilliant; whatever the brand was. I think it was the compound that made the difference. And if they were Bendix, then sign me up, I want another set. I did drive down mount Ousley (just outside of the Gong) a few times, and they showed no untowards performance.   Its not the low dust that I am looking for NOW. At the time I needed low dust, but now I have no issues with dust but want the initial/early bite of the pads that were used. Yeah, the early cold squeal may of been due to a missing shim or such.  And to repeat, its not the low dust I am seeking, its the initial bite of the pads and increase in bite as  the warmed up during each breaking. As soon as I let off, I don't remember the breaks being extra sticky if I used them again soon after. But I also did not test that theory.   Thanks for the recommendation, But I would prefer to choose something specifically with the behaviour I described.   I assume that they didn't use the default compound off the shelf, as we discussed the dust issue at length. And the early squeal when cold, I have seen the sound is more of an issue with some pad compounds. Mostly ceramic, which also are said to produce less dust.
    • Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
