Hey guys,

After a chat with a mate regarding tunes etc, just want to klnow what others have done!

Ok, so you have done the basic mods - exhaust, fmic and added a bit of boost with cold air/filter.

Now - have most of you guys left as is or decided to play it safe and go a tune to make sure all the AFR are right and such n such and making sure its not running rich or lean when boost comes on?

Because so far i have just done the basic mods as said earlier - and it got me thinking, am I going to destroy my motor later on by not tuning it for safety not just out right power?

Im not that smart with turbo motors and boost - my experience has been with LS1 motors!

or am I just being paranoid???

Cheers,

Chris

there are also things that you can do before you get a dyno done to help richen up the afrs (but results vary). first of all is to clean the afm. if its dirty then it isn't reading the correct amount of air and can make the car run lean. you can also check the fuel pressure. it is better to clean the afm before the dyno run, as you don't know if it will have any affect and then atleast you can see what they are like when its clean and if it is still lean thats 1 thing that you can cross off the list.

Hey Chris

Provided you don't do anything too silly, like run 30 psi or something, just the standard mild mods on stock turbo won'nt destroy your car, it just won't drive much better than stock, that's all.

On my car, i've done everything but the ecu, and i get big rich and retard. When that kicks in, it feels like I get pulled back. there's a big dip in power. so It doens't feel, nor is it actually very quick.

I reckon either do all the mods + tune, or just leave it stockish

nah im not that silly :thumbsup:

basiclly its on 7psi 90% of the time and then if i feel like it switch it to 11psi

Im just thinking now - perhaps I should get a tune to keep the motor safe - however buying a powerFC and tuning just for basic mods - is it worth it?

I dont know!!!

For the 2k you spend on the PFC and tune mate the car will run better and smoother, and thats with more power and being more fuel efficient too!! I'd say go for it, i plan to. :huh:

can you remap an r33 ecu?

i thought it was just r32s?

i'm not sure if anyone is australia does it. i have been told a place in brisbane does it. i have a remapped 33 ecu that was done in japan.

if you are only running at 7psi and occasionally 11psi then you could go the cheaper option of a safc2. it will make a noticable difference.

It won't really make it 'safer' because it's not really at much of a danger as it is. If anything, the benefit is in fuel economy and performance. It will make it have more power basiaclly all over the power range.

If you're going to do it though, i'd make sur ethat you do every mod you'd consider, so you don't waste money on a tune again later.

e.g. fmic, full exhaust, turbo if you want, camgears, etc.

Instead of an safc, take a look at the jaycar one. it is basically an safc in a cheap looking box at about 1/5 the price.

Chris, I know OF a guy that can remap r33 ecus. I have nothing to do with him, he just posts up on here occassionally. I'm actually saving up for a remap myself just to see how it goes. From memory, last time he posted, it was 350$.

the jaycar safc will be around $100. then the tune will be like $300. SAFC only allows adjustment of fuel, not ignition.

I reckon the remap for 350 is seriously a pretty good option. Fuel, ignition map changes. Removal of speed limit. you still retain all the good stock ecu stuff like cold start, consult etc.

thanks for the info mate!

Yeah I knowe the general rule of do all your mods - then get it tuned to suit. however I feel that this is all I want to do as now I want to get the suspension set up for some track/hillclimb work and eliminate that bodyroll! :P

cool - if you like could you pm me this guys name?

Wouldnt mind getting in contct with him!

cheers!!

Chris!

in order to tune R33 on dyno, board is needed, which approximately costs $350-$400 only board.

Tuner makes ECU map on dyno themselves and this data is transfered onto PLCC chip then fitted onto the customers ECU

Other wise use R32 ECU ( need change all map.not only fuel and ignition).

R33 chip is selling at http://www.grid.co.jp/en/prod/prod93.htm.

This is a one time chip.

when remapping ignition timing DIY, make E F colum same as D colum ignition timing. ( also remove speed and boost limitter)

This means about same AFC.

And adjust base ignition timing by crank angle sensor about 2-3 degrees.

There is no need for a fuel map change.

Because when fitting dump pipe and hi flow cat , cat back, air pod , boost 0.8-0.9 bar A/F changes to about 11. (depends on parts performance)

A/F 11 is not rich. HKS kansai drag racer GTR A/F11 for safe and power.

I think rechip is cheaper way ecu tune for std turbo R33 GTS-T.(my map is totally different std map).

If change turbo in the future I recomend power fc for R33.

I think R32 do not need power fc.

If some one having pomping or fuel rich problem please send me PM or [email protected].

I be able to chack problem by softwear then I will fix it. ( NSW only)

Basically a lot of mucking around and will be hard to find someone in your area to do it.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
