hi all

just wanting to know a rough figure on how much a dyno tune would cost for a rb20det with a fmic and 2.5" exhaust as the only mods...

its got a very rich idle and leans out fairly quickly up the top...

just did a conversion, so a tune is in need...

also, any places around Hurstville that can be recommended for it?

thanks

"...STANDARD POWER RUN - $80.00

OPTIONAL EXTRA'S

3 runs are performed, this includes logging and graphing of the following parameters through the rev range, which is also stored on our computer.

Manifold pressure (Boost)

Power graph in Kw or HP

Air Fuel Ratio

Torque

...."

DYNO TUNING - $140/HOUR

Dyno time for diagnosis, tuning or tidy up tune of aftermarket computers and controllers if engine is modified, for example tuning Super AFC etc.

this is an answer, but not the answer to my question...

i dont have any aftermarket computers... only the stock one

All that can be done is optimise the base timing .

Any air fuel change or timing map change would require a rechip or burn of your existing computer.

Don't know about the East but we charge around $650-$800 fitted and dyno tuned for the R32GTS-T.

cheers

warpz0r, As Ken says, you currently have nothing to tune, other than adjusting the CAS for base timing. Best to do a power-run to determine whether your current setup is running safely, after that then choose either an SAFC, remap or full computer.

I highly recommend unique autosports too.

I recently had my car up on their dyno (had just installed a front mount intercooler). It didn't make as much power as it should've so they tried to diagnose and fix the problem. They did :)

check out the thread:

i guess i might have to buy a s-afc from jaycar... they fit in my budget.. haha

because idle is a little rough but very rich, and it leans out fairly early when driving...

maybe exhaust sensor?

The standard lambda sensor does nothing at large throttle openings, under acceleration. Constant speed cruise and idle are the closed loop parameters. Almost all RB20/25/26's run rich when you run more boost, fit a FMIC, upgrade the exaust etc. If it is truly leaning out, then I suspect fuel supply problems( pump, filter, fuel pressure regulator). A fuel pressure check on the dyno will identify this.

My recommendation, have the base igntion timing checked and get a power run done on the dyno and look closely at the A/F ratios and the fuel pressure. That will tell you what the potential problems are. Go to a club dyno day and it will cost $50 or so, the best money you will spend.

Hope that helps

fixed the problem!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuel filter was the culprit!

went down to supercheap, got a fuel filter, put it on, let the car warm up and pressurize, gave her a few bursts of the throttle and didnt hear any stutters or anything...

took her down the street and wow... ive never driven a turbo car before, but with a 2.5" exhaust and fmic, its so noisy...

thanks everyone for your help

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
