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!

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.

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!

    • Probably best way would be using a proper dB / SPL meter lol Buy one and ship it from state to state to have a consistent test device lololol  
    • Not electric car good of course, it's still just a crappy old ICE
    • Yeah, but the good news is that can all be tuned out...the V37 has excellent throttle response now, and with the tiny factory turbos is pretty quick without lag
    • I did change bodyshops. The most recent place was very fast. I think the trick is to have smaller, simpler jobs. A front end repaint and some (extensive) sideskirt and fender stuff is a 'small cash' job for them. It was expensive but 'worth' it purely cause: 1) They did everything great 2) They did everything fast Get what you pay for maybe? Pictured: Very stock looking car from my very old phone. I did realise that oncoming traffic would probably be like "Oh look at this guy, commuting around in a GTR!" (until they see the side profile). This is the sad state of my fender liners and front fitment with my current stock GTR sized wheels (18x9 +30) This is how the rear sits with a 25mm spacer. I say 25mm because it's actually a 20mm spacer sitting on the studs which are ~30-31mm, and the wheels have a ~5mm cutout. So... this is very not safe to drive. This is the other side.. .with a 22mm spacer. Yes, the studs are ~27mm. Yes they're different both sides. I spent a fair amount of time measuring. This was the old pod setup behind the box in the past. Old vs New Pod she tells you not to worry about:   Turns out I measured this pod filter pretty damn accurately which I was chuffed about. I went for a ~3hr drive for 'testing' reasons up into Healseville hills. Believe it or not, the induction noise is the same between small and large pod. I guess it has more to do whether a pod is *present* or not, and the diameter of the pipe. It does sound very decent in cabin though (and extremely 'smooth') - Though behind the car the exhaust noise is nonexistent now. So uh, it's all for the driver. I'm confident it has to be quieter than @Dose Pipe Sutututu's car. I should test it. Is there a way to do it with an app or something we can both agree on? (we are both very old men now competing for quietest car) I've texted Trent at Chequered to book in to see some before/after. I can now twist the pod entirely out of the engine bay on the dyno to really rule in/out any intake restrictions. And/or remove the pipe entirely which I will probably do for testing reasons. The logs show *maybe* a difference in ambient KPA vs Intake KPA at wot. But I'm talking the difference to -3/4 before to maybe -2/3 now. The tune is not wildly out or even changed at all. The only takeaway I have is the car is on 17% ethanol as it's still got the fuel from the dyno in it. It's plausible that that tune would have resulted in the car erring on the side of being too rich (it was) and right now it seems to be bang on perfect or within -0.5% either side of target. I was tempted to take it to a Drag day to see what MPH it would trap (and tune the car) but then I wouldn't have a number and a pretty line. I may do that after I re-hit the dyno, purely to go to LS1tech and shout about how their dynos are all very inaccurate while my low HP car traps the same MPH as cars with the same setup in the US, who make 375RWKW (supposedly). It was safe to say Mr Mamo was not really happy with me posting the results yet. So I owe it to at least try the intake thing for my own sake and not besmirch people who want to buy a similar USA heads and cam setup and get disgusted that they make lower HP than simple bolt-ons which can be up to the "330rwkw+" kw region over there - Which here equates to about 270kw. (and runs the same 115-118mph)
