running the auto on a dyno can be a pain.

you either leave it in second and it smokes the wheels,

or you try doing the run in 3rd, and hope it dosent kick back at high revs.

There is a solution..

on the driver side in the engine bay near the radiator.

down near the chassis rail, there are three eletrical plugs.

if you disconnect the brown plug your car will only have 3rd gear.

which is 1 : 1 or 4th in a manual.

make sure you tell the dyno operator that he now only has third and can slowly build up to

about 60kph then give it to it.

it makes dyno time so much smoother and far less stress will be placed on your trans..

i hope this helps a few people.

You dont start at WOT if doing it in second.

what do you mean by this?

i never said you do start at WOT in second.

but im sure a lot of people with more then 200 kws would be spinning the wheels in second.

Dangerman I gather what you mean is you can get high loadings on the engine at low revs without it running up the rev range as it may in 2nd .

I don't run an auto myself but I am curious to know if they have a converter "lock" like NA VL's did (I think) and if so can this be manually achieved (electrically) to get direct drive . Just a thought .

as most auto owners would know its very hard to tune your car well in second.

by unplugging the brown plug you can then tune all the cruising and off boost part of the map.

as well as ramp it up consistently in the same gear every time.

im not sure about the VL but by removing this plug it disables all gears apart from 3rd which is direct drive.

WoW...i didnt know that!

I've spoken to a few that say they will tune my Auto R33 but none have mentioned this....

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
