Hi guys, just came back from a tune at tilbrooks in adelaide by martin.

Tune was done at 16psi....at first we got 240 rwkw at 18psi but i decided to settle for 235rwkw @ 16psi as martin said r33 conrods and internals will not last too long will too high boost.

Your power curve looks nice and smooth, but your AFR's seem very rough

OK, not picking on the poster of this comment, I have deleted who it was for that reason.

But I am getting very tired of this slavish belief that having a flat A/F ratio trace is somehow a reflection of good tuning. It's NOT, all it indicates is the guy doing the tuning decided on an A/F ratio and then tuned to it. Any idiot can do that.

But (there is always a but) that ASSUMES that the one A/F ratio results in the best power at that rpm. And we all know that is CRAP, 12.X to 1 may well yield more power than 12.Y to 1 at certain rpm points. A GOOD tuner aims for a smooth power curve, not a smooth A/F ratio trace.

I know which I would much rather have.

:) cheers ;)

excellent result from the 2530, thats a great looking curve gotta be happy.

id say hes seeing 16psi by about 3800-3900rpm, as id see ~18+ at 4grand.

Actually, lets do an SK and do some maths :rolleyes: from the looks of the curve, he hits full boost at about ~110km/h. divide by 29 gives us 3793rpm (give or take, assuming 245/45/17) :lol:

saw your car there today by the way :)

Did you flow test your Nismo 555's? and did they all come in at about the same readings?

Nope...I did not flow test them, they came with a flow test report. Average flow was 565. Minimun was about 560 I think.

    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all. 
    • I was chatting with an ex SAU person who is involved in chooning euros now. He was saying the factory cars like Audi VW etc have something like 2000 tables that the ECU uses for getting everything "just right". Compare that back to any aftermarket ECU, and you'd be hard pressed to surpass 50 lookup tables. Even the Ford Barra engine has a few hundred lookup tables to run it (and they're still working some tables out too!)
    • Grab a temp probe, and probe each exhaust inlet runner with it sitting idling. Each one should be pretty darn close to the same temp. If you've got some reading higher or lower than the others, it's likely either air flow isn't equal, or your injectors aren't equal to each other.   The other things to check, is from the wiring changes that were made, were any earth's or grounds moved/changed.   Lastly, for the strut brace issue. It's not perfect, but can you get away with slipping a washer or two under the strut brace to raise it, and it still clean the bonnet? If you can, work out the height you need, that the motor can't torque up into, and get a spacer made for each side.
