KiwiRS4T Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 OK I appreciate your difficulties in getting to the tuner but rest assured cam timing can make 100hp difference in some cases. Tuning is not just about timing. There are half a dozen or more variables and the tuner has to change one at a at a time so that he knows what is making a difference and then change another variable which may affect the first etc. .. hence the many hours involved. If you know a good tuner can you not drive down at 4.30am give him the car for a day (say a Friday) and get him to check the cold start on Saturday morning and then drive home? Whatever it takes it has to be done properly.

djr81 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Problem being I don't. The last two have been a waste of time and money. Think I will give the local bloke a go. He is all good, just that there aren't many GT-R's around here and I wanted to short cut the learning process by having someone who has done 100 of them do the job. Cold start is about the only thing that is fine. So a win there.

djr81 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Did some quick plotting of boost and power curves from past runs with the engine. Anyway this thing looks to be hugely more responsive in the low end - which may very well point at cam timing gone awry.

SimonR32 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) To me your graph in the initial post looks VERY responsive for dash 5's, the boost plots in your latest post seem to confirm this. Maybe the timing belt has skipped a tooth or 2?

djr81 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hope not and hope so at the same time. May just be the cam gear bolts have come loose. Appears to be a bit of a theme lately. Top nut on the drop link on the front sway bar unwound itself and the link fell out of its hole. Hello oversteer. Anyway cars goes crackle crackle pop pop on the over run.

He knows his stuff just doesnt get so many 26's. 10 hp aint going to get me near Simons things output plus he has all the gearboxes anyway. If I can gear near 500 that will be a pretty good result. Working on the assumption the cam timing has shifted since it was tuned.

djr81 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 With the boost controller fixed it now makes boost low in the range - so the number at 4000rpm is 270rwhp (With -5's so beat that with a stick) instead of 200. The tuna said it was fairly insensitive to ignition advance and had phased the cams as best he could. Given the torque output is more useful further up the rev range what would people recommend for bigger cams? It has a 256 degree inlet and 252 degree exhaust.

KiwiRS4T Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 What do you mean bigger cams? You already have very agressive cams. How much lift have you got now? I still think you need a better tuner.

djr81 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 By bigger I mean mostly on the inlet side with maybe 260 or 264 degrees. Boost doesn't tail off so I suspect there is enough exhaust cam in it.

RB25PWR Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Everyone has already said this but you don't seem to want to do it. Take it to a reputable tuner who knows nissans/rb26's. If you make that $1k a day then f**k me you can afford to take it down to Perth. A lot of tuning shops offer a car service for $55 a day. Or just go down there early and make a day of it? Wrong/poor tune can end badly. I drive a lowly old GTST and I won't let the 'local bloke' touch my car!

What's the wortst thats going to happen...Probably a bunch of unhelpful suggestions get posted.Looked on the rb26 dyno thread there are two -5 poncam posts neither of which have printouts. Thinking my old chart may have been with a stuffed boost controller so cannot gauge the response from personal experience.
