These are the specs:

R32 RB20DET 82000Kms

Stock Internals

Stock Turbo

3"Turbo back exhaust/Screamer

POD

EBC runing 12 psi

FMIC

It did 170rwkw @ 1.1 bar at Boostworx

Is it woth getting a remap? what would the benefits be on my setup?.

I am planning to get a turbo in the near future along with injectors

and a fuel pump, but untill then...

Any comment would be appreciated

Cheers

it really depends on how the car is running at the moment, and how long till you are doing the upgrades. if they are only a month or 2 away, just wait till they go on to do the remap. also if the afr's aren't too bad then a remap won't gain you as much power as if it was rich as hell.

Well Dr Drift is coming to adelaide tomorrow he said I can remap it tomorrow and then when he comes back in a months time he would remap it again to suit the extra mods, and all I have to pay would be the Dyno time.

oh, and btw, i love your idea of "almost stock".. ha ha.. you've got to be kidding right?

Well, if you think about it is quite stock, nothing major done to it just the usual mods :ermm:

Cheers

no mate..

99.% of the cars on the road have "the usual mods" - whic is NOTHING

stock = out of the factory

when you are making 50% more power than a stock car and are running at almost twice the standard boost level, you have well passed the meaning of "pretty stock" buddy. plus you are running a screamer which is illegal. stock cars are legal.

Very worth it...you get better fuel economy, more torque, more power and the peace of mind that its not leaning out...i've got the same mods and i got sam aka to remap it too...best bang for buck imo...

I wouldn't run the stock ceramic turbo at 1.1 bar though for obvious reasons though...

Thanks guys, some say do it some say wait uhmmm.

Hey limpus how many kw did you gain with just the remap and the mods you had?

oh btw the 1.1 bar was a one off for the dyno, however I am very tempted to run that on a daily basis. :rofl:

Dr Drift charges $330 for the remap and $180 per hour of dyno time to fine tune!

I had it done to mine and gained around 3rwkw BUT it was detonating it's head off! It did however gain 20kw throughout the rev range, I had speed cut removed, rev limiter lifted a little and it was a completly different car to drive.

If you live near your tuner, it is good thing to get done, if you don't and plan on doing future mods then you should really consider your options!

I live in Tas and had it done during a Dr Drift visit. I am looking at getting it done again after I install my AFM and injectors and luckily he plans to come back down. would be a different story if I had to venture up to melb!

Make your own mind up!

Peak power increased by about 10-15rwkw...but more power across the entire rev range...its all about the area under the curve...btw...i'd recommend getting a fuel pump asap...not for power but more as a support mod...you definitely don't want the car leaning out...even if you're running only 12psi...

10-15kw is not too bad, I suppose I was expecting less than that, but I decided that I am going to wait until DrDrift next visit next month, to do everything at the same time, and yes I will definatelly be buying a fuel pump asap,

Funny thing is that even at 1.1bar made 170kw and the AFR were fine, so at only 12 psi i should be fine.

Cheers

    • 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.
