i have never owned a vehicle with air pressure sensors in the wheels or valves or where they are.

im wondering do just move them over 2 a new set of wheels from the valve cap or or is there more to it?

New wheels as in season (Winter/Summer)? If so, no. Moving them that often will destroy them. TPMS valve stems are surprisingly fragile. 

If this is from an old set to a new set of wheels that will remain on the car all year round, then yes you can move them. Depending on the vehicle and year, you may have to reteach them if they change position. This can be done without any special tools on older Nissans (Jumper under dash that you ground out 5x) and does not apply to newer Nissans (They self-learn as you drive).

Yeah broadly speaking, throw the sensors on new wheels, then tell your car to do a reset/re-learn via the infotainment system. I can't recall if newer BMWs need new sensors (probably since it's "German engineered", but I hope Nissans don't.

They shouldn't require any calibration or other special handling from the tyre shop in order to be transferred to the new tyres. My R35's wheels needed to be replaced, and they were easy to do—they just transferred across!

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      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.

      Here's the torque curves from the car I ramped boost up later in the rpm to allow a slightly wider useful power curve - the power curve is a bit weird shaped also thanks to the TVIS (or whatever they call it with the 4EFTE in this Starlet) which changes the volume of the intake manifold throughout the rpm range, but you can see that the green power curve actually holds later on with the extra boost... but looks almost more like the kind of thing you'd expect from a cam or exhaust change
