I wanted to tell you guys about my results

My car is 1988 cefiro

rb20det

stock turbo, stock intercooler, blitz BOV, 3" exhaust from dump back, electronic boost controller, walbro fuel pump, pod plus intake. running 1 bar

before the ecu was chipped by toshi it was putting out 170rwhp and pinging. it seemed to run OK but was not as quick as i thought it should be.

Toshi took all my mods into account and remalled ignition and fuel. He also removed the speed cut and boost cut.

we put the chip in the ecu and did another run. The car sounded a lot better exhaust note. The results were 215rwhp.

Thats a 45HP increase! and the car dosent ping anymore!.

the peak power is great but the biggest difference you notice is the huge increase in torque/power in the midrange.

The car now feels awsome to drive and is now quicker than my mate's wrx :throwup: haha!

to anyone who wants their car tuned and running at its best get toshi to mod your ecu for you its the cheapest performance upgrade you will make and your air/fuel ratio will be correct.

we could have got 20more rwhp out of it according to toshi if we pushed it upto 1.1bar but i didnt like the chances of the turbo livivng very long at that boost level.

dyno sheet coming...

basically does the same thing Dr_Drift does and did to my R32... most decent tuners with an EPROM burner can do it... u just have to have the right maps.

fuel economy is slightly better than before. becuase at default settings most skylines/cefiros run rich.

as for tuning in real time no.

he comes with you and organises a dyno run. he looks at the A/F ratios and other stuff and burns an eprom on site on does another run untill the chip is correct for the car.

so bacically the chip is custom made for your car and tuned properly.

it cost me $250.

that included toshi coming to the dyno place and burning a chip on site and then doing another dyno run to make sure it was perfect.

he even gave me a copy of my stock chip so i can run it in factory tune if i like.

A mate of mine here in WA does realtime tuning to Nissan factory ECUs using an emulator and also reads off the consult port etc. Works extremely well. I shall be getting my ECU done soon too. Also realtime means you can change maps instantly, not burn a map, run the car, remod the map on the PC and reburn it.

this seems very worthwhile, did it cost much to use the dyno twice for the testing process?

I haven't done this before so I am interested in the total outlay of funds for the whole project...

Talk to toshi. he will book the dyno for you and you can meet him there. I used the dyno for a total of 17 runs and it cost me $80 The place to get the dyno work done is Procar. its on the northen beaches in sydney.

Cheers!

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
