Educated Guess At The Final Tune Results


Recommended Posts

Good luck.

After I had my engine built (8000km's after) I had a "o" ring fail on the oil cooler and it start to leak oil everywhere. Guys had me in the shop the day after i found out and fixed the same day.

They seemed to care about their build work and the engine. Was reassuring to say the least.

They are a very busy shop. GTR's everywhere.

Half your luck ?

That hurts Mark :)

They do some really good builds and the blokes there know what they are doing.

Maybe my type of build is not what they specialize in as they seem to get into the drag/speed cars.

Anyway, hopefully after I drop it off on Monday I will get it back firing on all 6 in a week :)

It really does not like starting in the cold weather :(

Sounds like they didn't go into the cold start setup on the ECU and compensation settings. Hopefully it all goes well when it returns.

Their other tunes were fine.

I think this is getting worse because it is running rich, the plugs would be like they are covered in black velvet and I do not feel like having a new set of plugs put in, just did that, already put 3 sets in, well I didn't , my mechanic did :) +$

So if an Auto is not counted , what about the sequential box ?

Even my heap cannot be called a real Skyline, different motor,turbo,ECU,radiator,clutch, Tranny, front and back diffs and a lot more ????

So if it is not counted with an Auto box, when is a skyline, not a skyline ?

There are two GTRs in NZ that have done 7 second runs but they were drag specials. Rips has built a few "street" (as in road registered ) R34 GTRs for dragging with powerglide boxes doing 8s but the fastest proper street GTRs that I know are doing 9s. There are a load of Street GTRs doing 10s.

Exactly the same as a tubbed 120y with a Sb chev , 2 speed power glide and 9 inch doing 9s. No difference

So do I,

but it's a drag car not a street car.

Before I bought my car it was being work by them, but not for a street car, laggy as fark. It was an impulse buy and turned into a financial nightmare because I am a stubborn SOB, haha

But I really got to like the car and here I am, still going at it :wub:

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • 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.
