same weather but when engine is cold, high boost when warm , it can't go beyond 7-8psi

 

look at these scum bag , there is a reason worrying about my baby 

 

Where's the abuse? Road testing with very conservative driving.

friend of mine had its car totaled by a dealer here who was meant to service it .

 

a 19 years old took it out and trashed it who was a technician

 

a question re link ecu, I installed new turbo and wanted to take the inlet manifold out to paint it.

whilst doing it, I realised how much of a pain it can be to even change the injectors so I have decided to get the 630cc injectors and install it and take it to tuner.

 

my question is, if i simply plug the g4 into the car, can i change the injector size and then the base map will inject correct amount of fuel or no ?

spoke to Link tech and was told I could change the injector opening time to half which would allow the engine to run on the 630cc injectors and can slowly drive it to tuner. thoughts?

How do you plan on doing that? Is there an Injector open time table?

A proper tune will never take ~3-4 hours unless your tuner already has a canned map, your car is perfect, and they just need to verify that everything is running properly + maybe small tweaks here and there. It will take a few days to do it right even though Link or whatever ECU manufacturer of choice is providing the base map which shouldn't be too far off in the first place.

OEMs take months of engineering time to do the factory calibration. It's a full time job. Even then sometimes they run out of time and it's too late to get another calibration emissions certified and you end up with a factory tune that breaks engines. Subaru has done this before. With a turbo engine especially the dyno cannot do everything for you, some road testing is needed to tune for real-world IATs.

Engine calibration is not for kids. If you don't trust your tuner to not crash/abuse your car they have no business doing an ECU calibration.

Some logging is needed to diagnose why your car is running wrong on the base map, if you can screenshot a trace of the behavior people can probably help.

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
