Hi i just have a few questions to ask to help me understand a few things better.

Any comments or better still links would be fantastic.

What is the general process with Tuning using Wideband lambda and logging feature's for Road/Track Tuning.

How do they piggyback the M8 to the standard GTR Ecu so that functions Like Attesa, Air con Etc. are run perfectly by the stock Ecu.

This is basicly the setup i have designed and wanting to use so i can learn to tune the car my self on the road & track days.

Thank's

Its pretty much a case of sharing some sensors with the factory ECU basically the only sensor you want to share is the crank reference. I'm not actually sure on the trigger setup involved with a motec on a skyline but you might have to make an external trigger setup - 12 even is usually what alot of people use. That way the the motec can now take control of the timing. Then all that is needed is to patch in over the top of the injectors with the motec, make sure the impedance across the standard injectors is the same as the standard inj by using resistor. Make sure also that you use a separate ECT sensor and if possible another TPS because if you share them the internal impedances between the factory ECU and the Motec will be different which will mean you will have floating voltages and your TPS will never be set right.

You don’t need the standard ECU, the Motec handles it all.

>_< cheers :wave:

I originally was planning to do that SydneyKid until Motec themselves (Mark McCoy Motec Support) recommended the piggybacking System.

LOL

Maybe he was looking at it from a budget point of view? Have to see what some of the installers say in Melbourne...

I can put up the Mail if anyone is interested?

you should try talking to the whites, they've put motecs in all their race cars, and their road GTR.

info from the motec site.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
