cruise should be around 15 - 14.5

comming onto boost should be around 14 13.5

low boost can stay around 12.5

boost needs to go anywhere from 12.0 to 11.0 (Depends on tuner)

The richer it is on boost the fatter the tune is - the fatter it is the safer. safer = less power.

Its a trade off =)

Moral to the story is dont run the car on the edge because once the fat lady sings you will know about it :P

an afr of 20 is SUPER lean. around the 9-10 is rich, and 13-14 lean. ideal is 11.8-12.

With regards to running rich and being safe.

There's nothing safer about running a richer and running more ign. timing where the motor sits 1-2degree's under before det sets in then tuning with a slightly leaner mixture 12-12.5:1 with less ign. timing yet still 1-2degree's before det sets in.

The only reason I can see for NOT tuning with a 12.5:1 afr over the slightly richer 12:1 afr is if one is unable to check if every cylinder is actually running the correct afr. Influences such as injector flow, plenum/manifold and exh. manifold design affect cylinder VE.

Many usually guestimate cylinder afr by measuring that individual cylinders egt. You then simply trim the injector correct table slightly until they are all equal.

You are also able to do this by reading spark plugs, while your there ensure you are running the correct heat range plug by once again reading spark plugs.

Once you have the correct trim on every cylinder tune it at the slightly leaner 12.5:1 and run less ign. timing.

A richer mixture achieves a slower burn, this moves the peak cylinder pressure later in the cycle, the peak pressure being later in the cycle also reduces the probability of knock. Much like that of simply running less ign. advance.

A leaner mixture burns faster, the same effect as above can be produced with an optimum power mixture (12.5:1) and less ign. advance.

Ign advance doesn't make power, correct afr and ign. advance does. The aim is to achieve peak combustion pressure off the top of my head.. erm.. I forget.. I remember its some where between 10-20degrees ATDC. :S

Essentially running it richer with more ign. advance doesn't provide safety over running it at the correct optimum power mixture with less ign. advance.

So what do we do... Nothing.. lol

Do what the majority of tuners do.... 12:1 afr and ~2degree's below the det threshold on pump fuel as chances are we are never going to reach minimum advance for best torque.

Some funky fuel... Minimum Advance for Best Torque.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
