Guys,

Melbournes newest workshop Racingline Motorsports is holding a dyno day for SAU on Saturday 13th May.

We'll have a bbq and drinks down there on the day.

It is a 2WD dyno but front shafts can be removed for GTR's. Cost for a run is $40. Depending on numbers some minor tuning may also be available.

So when: Saturday May 13th from 11am

Where: Racingline Motorsports. 15 Bricker St Cheltenham. (Melways Ref 78 B10)

It will be a good opportunity for people who have attended the drag day the week before to check against the Dyno numbers to see how the times compare.

Cheers

This is an open event for non members. I will be attending and will have datalogit for those that may want their tune saved/copied.

I will also be trailing adjusting the R33 RB25 VCT rpm kickoff point. Apexi PowerFC users with Datalogit can adjust the VCT kick off point. This involves one dyno run with it on default settings, then another with it turned off. Then check out the comparison runs on each chart and where the power lines intersect is the ideal point for VCT kickoff. I don't expect to gain any power but just doing it as a demonstartion for fun purposes really.

Pretty straight forward to get to sounds alright. $40 for the single run only or do they do back-to-back power runs? Been to a few at other places and they usually do this as it takes jack all time and almost always get a better run the second time. Might have to pop in regardless of wether I stick it on the dyno or not.

We might also have some scales available if anyone is interested in corner weighting their car.

can you weigh a car using corner scales, or just find the weight distribution?

really interesting to see the weight of a GTS4, and not manufacturers dry weight....

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
