come on Marko....

when is your car going for a tune???? :)

Im dying to get to PI with you blitz and snowman....

ben,

the car was tuned earlier this week or should i say 'touched up' by crd as the only thing that required adjustment was the afr - it was a little rich after the bottom end reco...

jim has tuned it at a lower boost which has given me 325awkw - he wants me to cover another 1500km (total of 3000km) before he performs the high boost tune (for safety sake) as the engine still feels tight on the dyno

the car feels great :P

Marko.

Hey guys, just got a quick question

Quickest time last night was 11.9 @ 114.5 mph.

That mph seems a bit low. I ran a 118 previously. Anyone have any ideas? I think i actually dropped (accidentally) the boost level to 1.2 bar or lower for this run.

It sounded like you missed third on that run tommy...which is why I got a shock when I saw the 11 come up.

no graph of the latest tune, just a general seat of the pants feel, and a quarter mile run.

Power feels smoother. Has more punch up top (too lean on CRD's tune) and more punch down low (too lean to spool the garretts).

Different tuning philosophy between the workshops.

The way it is setup now, it feels a lot more driveable

Where did this power gain figure come from then? dunno.gif

Well i gained 30hp after Bel's tune ?

I will say no more. LOL

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
