Hey guys,

Im wondering if anyone will be able to help me out at all.

On the weekend I will be installing a Power FC into my car (R33 S1). Has anyone got a ignition map they have used in their R33 and are happy with, and can I please get a copy of it, this way I have a good starting point.

I was after a map that is on a car that has a bigger then standard turbo running at least 12psi, as this is a setup I will be going for.

Regards,

Cristian

Umm you'll have to get it tuned. Even if someone had the exact same setup as you their map won't necessarily work for you.

Every car is different, the only area it will be very similiar is the light load areas of the map.

Do a quick map trace and see what load point it drops to.

Go to that area of the map and drop ignition timing to around 15degree's. This will prevent it pinging. Just to be safe. From memory you will be running insane ignition timing at WOT, not good for a high comp rb25det. :)

Drive it and get it tuned. :P

Will there be ignitoin map in the Power FC to start with?

If not, how can I do a "map trace"

I thought that If i could get a already proved map, I can adjust to what suits the car best, I thought this way awas better then re-inventing the wheel.

It will be tuned professionally.

I didnt realise that there was a map to start with, as when you do most other aftermarket ECU's for cars, you have to start from sracth.

That's why the PFC is so popular, all the base stuff is loaded, plug it in and turn the key. Drive it gently to get tuned.:P

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
