    Help! Disconnect Battery = Retune?

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    Hey,

    If I disconnect the battery, will it require a retune of the Apexi Power fc? or a dyno retune again? I think i heard it once before, but I am after clarification.

    Im getting a bigger battery put in the car, and I need to know by Thursday lunchtime if im up for a lot more money than i set out :(

    Admin, if this isnt the correct section please move me, as i was unsure of where to go.

    Cheers,

    Lachlan

    the guy i bought the car from has no back wall of boot lining. he claims that he hacked it up trying to make holes for the speaker wires, so now there isnt one and you can see the battery etc that the wall was meant to cover.

    Know any place i could pick one up? wreckers maybe?

    i will get a pic tonight if it helps. Basically, when you open up your boot and look towards the back seats, there is no lining there, (the grey carpet stuff), its just open.

    ur a dick lachlan

    ill tell u alil story about myself i had an r32 gtr on my p's and i got reemed regualarly by the police

    i clocked up 8000 in fines in 3 months then one night i got t boned by another car who was at fault he even said he was at fault and guess what my insurance company didnt pay up because i was driving an overpowered car on my p's i was left with an unrepairable wreck on my front lawn and no money

    but hay ur a f**king expert in ur vr commonwhore so go ahead ur gonna do it anyway

    Well that had nothing to do with my question at all. I wouldnt be driving an overpowered car at all, it would be underpowered as id be removing the turbo.

    Thank you to beserkr32, so it will be heaps expensive ay? you cant just take it out and replug lines or whatever, then later put the turbo back in? you would have to go through the whole process of replumbing things etc?

    Im not keeping it without a turbo forever, only like 9-10 months so would it all be necessary?

    Also im still working on the legal issue of it all. will let you know when i get it sorted from that side as if its not possible i cant go any further.

    spoke to RTA again and got someone else this time. Asked about the decreasing performance issue and showing the turbo off as proof and she said "it should be fine, and would be registered as a non turbo, but ring in tomorrow and talk to the technical team to make sure."

    So i will have to wait for tomorrow for a definitive answer.

    I wont bother asking how to take the turbo out, ill just search the forums for that, im just trying to work out the legality of it all. Because if its legal, then ill do it.

    Well i have spoken to an RTA employee about the situation. He said that it would classify the car as a 'non turbo' but then i must get an engineers certificate as it needs to be checked for greenhouse emissions or something, and one of those proves mods to the engine meaning its still illegal for me. However, on the website it says P platers are not allowed engine mods that INCREASE performance, and seeing as this would DEcrease performance i see no issue, except for the certificate. I also read on a previous thread that someone took the turbo off and had it in the car with him to show the cops proof, and he didnt get fined. Was this luck? or dont the cops care for an Engineer certificate?
