Duty setting? For the life of me i cant see how ppl get it SO wrong as to affect the response of the motor like experienced here. Im not saying anyone is right or wrong, just pointing out that its very surprising that its the settting of the EBC. Without even knowing what i was doing i got my AVCR almost spot on. After reading the manual i was able to get it spot on...and have since helped a few friends out with getting theirs to work top notch. They were all singles though so that could be the reason????

Interesting :P

quite easy to get incorrect setting...the car i fiddled with at the dyno day only had to have duty adjusted by 5 or so i.e. from 55 to say 60. Id say in Justins case it was a little more than this. Roy sometimes people don't do the simple things right....reading the instructions, finding out and understanding how a product actually operates goes by the wayside.

OK we found the boost controller unable to keep up with the rpm's, something like that. It also had a hard time holding consistent boost.

Re-checked cam timing. All good.

We've ripped out the AVCR and put in a Blitz boost controller. Will be more testing and tuning tomorrow and will report back!

good stuff. the blitz controllers are very good. but I still have a soft spot for the profec BII. check out my boost curve on page 4... they really are good value for $$.

can't wait to hear the results. :(

edit: now you can sell the AVCR to Roy. He loves em.

well they only go up to EVC 4, but for some reason americans call them EVC5. (nfi why). "Blitz" runs one in his built and tuned 33 GTR and it seems to be pretty good. It's pretty well accepted that the Blitz SBC ID III is #1 with HKS EVC IV a close second, or in some peoples eyes it's the other way around with the EVC IV on top.

but I would try and 100% establish what your problem is before running out to buy another EBC.

OK EVERYONE HERE'S THE UPDATE!!!

Took the car to HITMAN (Matt) today. Super cool guy! First thing he did was just a dyno run and guess what? We got 321kw at the wheels with Indy's tune.

OK, hitman's dyno is a 2WD dyno, Indy's (IS Motor Racing) is a 4WD. It looks like there's the reasoning behind the power figure difference.

After a lot of playing around with the cam timing we brought the power down to 293kw at the rear wheels but the power is coming on a whole lot earlier. Lots of mid now, a lot more like BeerBarron's dynograph, also with a very very stable boost line too.

I took the car straight to Indy's dyno again after hitman, same day and we dyno ran a 266kw at all fours! So that 293 on hitmans is 266 on Indy's.

So, go figure? Car feels damn amazing now though, so much response WHOO HOO!

I don't care too much for the power up top, but I'm loving all this power in the mid range. Perfect.

So to you have 2 main problems at the end of the day

1/cam timing

2/boost controller

is this correct?

The dyno figures make sence as one is 4wd and one 2wd and you will always have more losses on the 4wd dyno (if you run it in 4wd that is)

Can i ask what the cam setting were and where you moved them to as i have been pushing guys to tune cam on the dyno for a number of year as you can really unlock some real power doing so and i think you have done the right thing in tuning for mid range as it make it a nice car to drive and alot of fun

Great work enjoy

Hey Pete,

I ain't sure of the cam timing values. I'm not that technically minded!!! But yes it was all the cam timing. I don't think it was the boost controller at all as hitman says he likes AVCR's.

I've ripped mine out though so will be selling it asap.

oh ok well let me know what you want for it as need one for my second project (drift car)

Glad you found the problem and i thought in my first post it was cam timing as it has a hugh influence on the motor characteristics.

pete

good stuff. glad you got things sorted out and that you enjoyed going to matt. he is a good guy and personally I've never had a problem with his tuning.

now post that graph biatch! :wave:

Feels a bit scary now in all honesty. Will wait for a track day, got done for 3 points today in the EVO. Damn it. Time to slow down and see the year out :laugh:

Less talk, more GRAPH!!! :)

bummer about the points loss. definately need to watch it over the christmas break as they will all be out clocking up overtime and need the fine revenue to justify it.

  • 1 month later...
Will not be posting the graph in a hurry dude. It's in my car which is in a workshop getting some trust rear pods painted and fitted >_<

Wondering if you had a chance to get that dyno graph mate, interested to see the power curve you got there

Here you go:

Amazing difference, it's a whole new car. Amazing at Eastern Creek last week. I did a 1.54 without even trying and that was in traffic too. Very happy with the power now and amoutn of mid range, just needs suspension tuning now as my brakes are going on too! SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!

Awesome result Justin! I think youve just confirmed which turbos i'll be looking at in the near future, comes on early and yet has 250kw + from 130 to 200 kmh. Thats alot of area under the curve = fast car :D

What brakes are puting on by the way (just curious)?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
