AFR check tonight, i took a stab at the dark with the AFR values and was a bit too lean, a touch over 12.3ish so leaned it back to spot on 12.0 (see graph).

Ill be leaving the tune as is for now, no more changes. I had a bit more detonation where I leaned it out back to 12 so took out 1 deg in that range to keep the knock to a consistent level

after realising that i've done the VCt testing wrong (thanks cubes) i picked an arbitrary rpm value and applied it. this time kickoff at 5500rpm. seat of pants it seems to be a bit more chunky in the top end and doesnt give a coming on max power and then jump into more max power past 4700rpm if that makes sense. it just seems to feel chunky the whole way. attached is latest datalogit tune as of tongiht, with AFR fix and 5500 VCT

rename to .dat and open in datalogit for RB25

latest tune after our nsw trip

i had to lean out the areas for 110km/h

also took out a few deg timing on the map permenantly

found it was knocking a little under 3 grand on medium ish load up small hills

also moved vct back to 5100rpm and locked the boost table (as i dont have the boost kit)

on the highway upto nsw i managed a best of 540ks to a tank with 02 feeedback off

feel free to view with datalogit (rename to .dat) or look at the excel sheet

i would not recommend loading my maps, but you can use it for reference

been a while since an update. not much has changed on my tune. just some minor touch ups

ive lost my licence so car has seen bugger all driving. get it back in july, woohoo!!

anyhoo here is my ign maps vs stock apexi defaults, as you can see i run stacks of timing.

below 3 grand you can dial in heaps more with minimal knocking. the car drives ace and has amazing throttle response.

IGN Compare.xls

Normal excel format. Positive number means ive advanced the timing, negative means retarded. You can see on row zero I am retarded by about 30 deg this is because my P01 row is all zero's. This gives the car lots of pops and farts and makes it sound really cool & fun, race car style.

Paul, I've done similiar with P01 but for drivability reasons.

It made cruising around in car parks a tad smoother, do remember the stock rb20det map runs high 30's to low 40's through P01, I'm down to just under what the stock rb25det map runs. :mad:

i dont run less ign timing, i run zero. so that whole top row under SETTING, IGN MAP is all 0's

i did it for a bit of fun. that row is only touched on gearchange or when you back off on the throttle.

ie at normal idle you are on P02 as there is airflow load. when you dump throttle or gearchange airflow drops to 0 or near zero so it hits row P01.

running 0 deg IGN timing makes the car pop, fart, backfire, crack so its just a bit of fun. i love it. everyone comments on how much my car pops, farts and backfires when driving around. i dont believe there is any other gain than noise to be honest :mad:

For mine it simply made the transition of going from no throttle to very very light throttle (car park driving) noticably smoother. But yes.. Thats stepping down from the rb20det like ign values to very similiar of what the rb25 runs. ;)

ive often wondered of doing a map trace

find the exact path it follows

then edit one of the cells along the way in the high load area

and bang in 0 deg ign timing

should be a laugh ;)

yeah im going to decat my car before i get my licence back so it should shoot flames for sure

its pops its ass off on back off and gearchange. ive had it set like that for probably 5-6 months maybe.

daily driven, sometimes babied around, other times given some abuse etc.

safe tune, aggressive ign timing all over the shop, 12afrs and normal plain vanilla 12psi and normal 98ron fuel (mixed servos)

I too will decat my car in the next week or so and run it up on the dyno to see what difference it makes. I have a high flo already so I'm not sure how much of a gain it will be. We will see and have some flames maybe also.

Are you doing a dyno run before and after "de-catting" your exhaust?

I'd be interested to see results...

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
