I just wanted to post this dyno sheet to show what sort of difference a GOOD tune can do for car with a PowerFC.

The only difference between the two runs was a minor service, and the PowerFC Tune (done by Ben @ UAS). He did an awesome job as you can see! ;)

Free plug for Unique AutoSports! They did a great job!

Yeah definitely. It's a very noticable difference!

A lot better response now. The turbo that is in there (Apexi unit) spools really quickly now, whereas before it was really sluggish to get going. It's a lot more fun to drive, as I found dont have to concentrate as hard on keeping the revs up in certain corners etc.

But you said it - I'm happy with it "for now"... Give me 6 months and I'll want more. It's the relentless pursuit for more power we all suffer from! :P

Lol not me.. I just want to win an auction on a damn 33.. then my licence back.. May 23 and were rolling! Im on here to pick up a few tips/tricks before i get it.

224.7kw that would be nice and lively in the hills i bet.. what other mods do you have? 2 Way LSD? Coils?

Yeah there isnt that many places to really open the car up in the hills (best left for the track anyway!!)

Are you buying privately, or through an importer?

Other Mods:

Apexi GT Spec FMIC

Apexi Turbo (380hp)

Apexi PowerFC

Apexi Boost Control Solenoid

Apexi N1 Coil-overs

3" Exhaust (Turbo Back)

High flow Cat

Bigger injectors (550cc or 700cc, not sure)

Aftermarket Fuel Pump

Standard Coils (For now...)

etc.. etc.. etc..

thats some nasty AFR's on the initial runs.. how long you been running on that tune for?

did ben do much work with the around town/light load maps?

how much did it set you back to tune? and how long?

I'm not sure of the exact amount, as I got a bunch of other maintenance type stuff done as well.

Approx $450-500 I think. Ben did mention it was a full tune from scratch because there was some silly stuff in the old tune (originally from Japan). Total time on the dyno was about 4.5 hours i think.

I had been running that tune for about 4-5 months..

lol.. yeah just about...

I would wash my car, and within a week, there was black stuff all over the bumper again... it was very annoying!

suprisingly i didnt get THAT bad fuel economy... about 15.5L/100k.. But it should be miles better now!

Yeah as i mentioned above, black crap all over the rear bar was a regular occurance.

Surprisingly i've noticed more black smoke since the afr's have been fixed. Either that, or i've just got more time to look at the guy in the rear view mirror since gaining the 30rwkw :P

Yeah it does add up, but i'd kill to have a 225kw turbo that does 10.5l/100k!! BTW Craved, where do you live? :P

:D

im from out near richmond (NSW) but yeah driving from out there to pennant hills is a pretty ok drive for fuel savings..

let us know what fuel economy you get, am keen to see

Yep, ill let you know.

im from out near richmond (NSW) but yeah driving from out there to pennant hills is a pretty ok drive for fuel savings..

Ahh yeah thats a decent distance! I live right near Pennant Hills actually.

Small world, or over population of skyline owners? :P

Nah that wasnt me, but there are a couple of others in the area.. If it had a black bonnet it was Wilch.. There is also a guy that lives around here that privately imports and sells skylines, so it could have been one of his.

I'm surprised I havent seen you around anywhere though.. do you usually have the skyline around this area?

used to drive it around, but its pretty much been off the road for the last year haha

it was only the wing that made me think of you.. and yeah i know wil pretty well, it was past his house anyway lol

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
