Im trying to find a stock timing map for an RB25DET for the purposes of comparing it to my adaptronic setup, mainly in the partial throttle region. The base maps that come from adaptronic are even more conservative with timing (for safety, liability etc), and aren't a good comparison.

That would be the first step. Secondly does anyone know how to convert a AFM based load map to a MAP sensor load map?

The Nistune Neo maps would be the easiest ones to access....even if they are probably a little different to the earlier 25s. There may be some normal 25 maps lying around on the net from the EEPROM burning days. Toshi would certainly have some.

As to "how to convert"....that's not really possible without making some measurements. There is a non-linear relationship between MAP signal and AFM signal on any car. The other problem is that the TP load axis on Nissan ECUs is not just a measure of AFM signal either - it's the output of a formula that already takes RPM into consideration so that the same AFM signal will give different load (TP) values at different RPM.

The measurements that you could make to help out would be to log RPM, MAP, TP and timing at the same time so you can kind of fake up a MAP based timing map by pulling (RPM, MAP, timing) values out of the data logs in parts of the log where you know you were driving normally (ie under load, so running the maps normally, not overrun, throttle closed stuff). You could compare those against the TP recorded at the same time to make sure that what was logged was similar/same as what is in the original AFM based timing map.

Naturally, all of this would need to be done on a Neo with Nistune, or possibly on an old 25 with PowerFC with base maps.

I believe this is what you're looking for, I created this map using a mixture of Haltech's base map and the factory RB25DET map from Nistune

Also here's a Haltech base map

Thanks, it looks like my map is retarded in the cruising area. I guess I have your ecu file off the adaptronic forums. If that closely matches stock, Ill copy the low load cells. Actually my map is quite similar in other areas of the map, good to know that the tune is "relaxed" on full boost.

Thanks, I guess the old fashioned way will have to do, ie 2 person road tune. One screen watching WARI, the other watching consult, tweak timing to suit.

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
