So pauls appears to have a problem with the top end reading flat then...

Compare it to something else..

Maybe this one I've attached that obviously doesn't have something strange going on with a flat top end.

page 4 about 1/4 way down.

im aware of the top end dropping off. its always been there.

so how is the rest of the tune shit. how are the cruise afr's shit

how is the low cruise IGN timing shit. how is the max load ign timing shit

well if you pulled your head out your arse for a second, and read what i said before, i was making a general comment, not specifically talking about you. and you aren't the only one making approx 180kw on a pfc. maybe you all go to the same tuner and he is crap. maybe you did it yourself and you should've taken it to a professional. there are people out there who can tune better than others.

if you have a flat spot of about 1000rpm it means you have some sort of issue. it may not been in the tune, but it is somewhere. maybe i have a better flowing exhaust, or turbo in better condition, but there is something that mine has that yours doesn't to give it that extra 1000rpm worth of power.

i have read what you said, several times. and i have seen the comments by cubes. both of which i have read and understood. the car hasn't been to the same place, its been to 3 different places and i have done some touch up tuning myself, mainly advance some timing here or there and lean out the afr's more for better economy.

so now you think its the turbo or something else causing the lack of power? are you sure? which one is it? its the same in your case. the ecu isnt the only thing that makes power. perhapps something else in your car is different

anyway

im over it

im happy with my ecu and tune, you keep your stock ecu tune and keep ranting about it making the same power. we're both happy

i was simply saying possible causes for your flat curve since it has always been there. and for the millionth time, i'm not keeping the ecu, it is getting upgraded. i never said an aftermarket ecu was bad, just that bolting one in doesn't automatically give it more power than a stock ecu. and if the person tuning it doesn't have a clue then it could end up worse than a stock ecu.

I wouldn't feel completely safe running around with yours Mad, afr's are obviously on the 'edge' definitely not something the thread OP wants. Dirty fuel filter = leaner again, fuel pump that decides no more = leaner again. Definitely not safe.

Have yours tuned with safe afr's and you will most likely find your back down with the rest of them, 190-200rwkw.

BUT you WILL pick up mid range and off boost power.

On your dyno that may make it look like yours has more mid range over others, jump on another and it will be the same as the others.

So sure 200rwkw 'can' be done with a select few R33's with ecu's that don't freak out and R&R all over the place.

Generally series 1.5, well I knew of one R33 Series 1.5 that was a freak and cracked 200rwkw, I know of 4 others that had fuel cuts and R&R topping out at 178rwkw. So not everything is equal.

I think you will find its generally not the tuner that gets low power out puts its the variables involved.

Engine condition, turbo type (series 1, 2 etc), how the car is tyed down, inlet temp sensor position and finally how the dyno reads. Its not uncommon to have a dyno read 10rwkw different.

With regards to pauls strange top end, thats not a tuning issue, its most likely something stupid.

Have you found out why it was doing that yet Paul?

it is a series 2 motor. series 1.5 car i have seen a few of the 1.5's with series 2 motors.. i asked how the afr's were since they wouldn't give me them and they said the were ok, but could be improved. there were rich in some areas, lean in others.

and i understand that different dyno's pull different powers, but i'm 25hp up on another r33 in town with same mods (except the adjustments we made) (same dyno, same day), so obviously i've done something right.

my afr's are on my dyno sheets

http://members.dodo.com.au/paul/pics/dyno/...r33-193rwkw.jpg

the tune has been alterted slightly, i have throw in a stack load more timing in the low end 8x8 area

and also cranked out the cuirse afr's in the 8x8 area to get some super economy. there is also on avg a 2deg increase on the ign map everywhere.

the top end we arent sure why it dies off. ive looked at it, a tuner has and we can't figure it out

its a series 2 with 150,000 on the clock. the top off dying has always been there, since day one when i got the car 50,000 with stock ecu

what exhaust setup do you have? it may be something isn't flowing well enough to let the gases escape fast enough so it is just backing up. generally a poorly flowing exhaust won't be able to cope at high rpm. or do you have a partitioned pod?

Maybe a little more fuel with a little more ignition timing gave better results than less fuel less ignition timing.

Nothing wrong with 193rwkw anyway.. I'd say its the norm for the dyno I run on at least.

That 211rwkw dyno sheet was a bit of a freak run.. :P It made 187rwkw on the same dyno another day. probably just tied down different or something. lol hehehe

Comapring pauls dyno sheet to a few other rb25's here paul has more average power everywhere. 130km/h is pretty impressive.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
