Hey BUSTER I did see your car in there... I was jaw dropped - your gearbox system is what I'm going to be aiming for maybe :(

Umm the retard on the shift points? I'll leave that to the tuner ;) I seriously would not know, will need to go and do some research!

Hey BUSTER I did see your car in there... I was jaw dropped - your gearbox system is what I'm going to be aiming for maybe :(

This is the problem everyone is having with wiring over the top of the original computer as unless the haltech can take 3 inputs (which as far as I know it cant) and apply a igntion retard based on a torque calculation (maybe MAP input but would be shitty) then its going to wear your trans really quick.

I know the new autronic SM4 has WOT ignition cut but thats still not good enough as its the medium and light throttle driving that I think will contribute to the most wear. The problem is that all aftermarket ECU drive the coils directly which is where the problem is.

Now I'm not trying to plug the XEDE here but AFAIK it is the only piggyback apart from unichip that moves the crank reference in order to trick the ECU into think there is more or less timing. This way it still allows the standard PCM to still control ignition retard on gear shifts.

Your really at the level where you need fuel and timing control which the XEDE can do both as well as boost and water/methanol injector control. It will also account for larger injectors as well.

Octane booster I was told to never put in before a tune ;) Reasons would be obvious I would've thought unless you owned a race car!

As for the XEDE, so you think it's a better system? The Haltech e11v2 sounds pretty damn powerful to me... but I'm open to all options, just that Hitman pushes Haltech :(

Its more of a case of the xede was designed as a piggyback while the haltech was designed to be a standalone ECU. In both situations you will have to piggy back either system. Its just that the haltech cant do the torque reductions on shift while the xede can.

Its developed at my work ChipTorque. We use it on the BA falcons, the entire subaru range, the entire mitsubishi range but mostly the EVO's in the states, lotus elise - in the states, porche -996TT, BMW - M3. We even used it on a turbo RX8 that we were contracted to tune by MAZDA Autralia. I tuned a 296rwkw 1jze soarer auto a couple of weeks ago. Its really just depends on the crank signal as to what we can put it on.

Haltech E11v2

7 Analogue and 4 digital inputs

Haltech E11v2

7 Analogue and 4 digital inputs

Yes it has those inputs but what I was getting at is that you cant assign those inputs to a table and change the axis of the table and the fuction of table itself. Basically you cant configure the haltech to take in 4 shift solenoid inputs and assign a load/ignition retard table to each input.

My boss isn't sure that he wants to develop the xede much further. I however can see that it would work just need his go ahead. If I can drum up enough interest then it will go ahead. The thing with the nissan CAS is that they have a weird 6-5-4-3-2-1 crank signal thats is very unique. Which doesn't mean it couldn't be done. My cars is currently off the road which means I need a test car. It usually only takes a day to configure the xede for a car we have never seen before. In that day we scope the crank trigger and then get the computer engineers to configure the xede. All the other sensor will be easy as they are very generic in their operation.

PS: the 350z has a 36-1 crank trigger which is very common.

I went for the trip with Stan out to Hitman on Saturday.

Highly suprised at the a/f ratios on the inital run.. quite scary when you think about it. there was no noticable pinging or any wierd noises from the motor either while it was running like that... hmm

very happy with a solid power figure from a comparable dyno. the 200rwkw barrier could have been broken with a closed loop boost controller, as the hybrid boost controller at the moment is running in open loop, hence the boost drop off towards the higher rev range.

BU5TER your car is amazing. What an awesome combination in there ;) The B&M looks right at home. Anywhere where we can see some details on your car?

rob82 - where abouts are you guys based? If you are 100% sure that this system works, I wouldn't mind lending my car to you as the guinea pig :(

Maybe we could work something out :)

One more question for everyone; the boost is currently set at 11psi - is 200rwkw an average figure for this boost level or something higher?

Do keep in mind I'm still running stock front/dump pipes + standard compliance cat :) Man I wish they'd hurry up on making those pipes for me... That would've pushed me into the 210rwkw mark for sure.

It depends how fast these exhaust guys can get it done... it's a custom pipe that they're making up for me :)

The cat part is easy, just thought it'd be better to do it all at once ~

The xede looks like quite an interesting system..

http://www.xede.com.au/files/XEDE%20Tuning...%20Version).pdf

Main advantage you are going to get is that your ECU will handle the auto transmission, so this should be able to be used perfectly well I guess..

you can also adjust the timing easily enough..

On the site - says you can use it with an R33 skyline, what's the difference in signals from the R34 to the R33 going to be??

You can also control a boost solenoid as well stan which means you could possibly wire in the stock boost solenoid to control your wastegate..

Maybe an option.. depends on what deal + the support you can get, haven't seen the haltech one really, couldn't find as much info on their site..

any monkey with a laptop (and a some practical knowledge) could tune with the xede.. maybe talk to hitman and see if they would be able to use it.. and make sure he's 100%..

looks like a good option

just noticed.. Rob82 is in brisbane.. we're all in sydney..

The difference between a R33 and a R34 is that one auto is tiptronic with a complex shift logic while the other auto is your common auto gearbox.

I wouldn't say that there are different signals, just more signals coming from the R34.

I was also looking at the Bikirom option as well which is a ROM-tuning implemenatation - but I came to the conclusion that this is not the way to go as it'd mean I'd have to take it back each time I changed something. Not only that, I'd have to take it back to the same person!

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
