nice looking curve indeed. for me, i reckon with the track use you give it i wouldn't mind a little more fuel up top. shape of the afr is no problem though, as long as the power curve is good (which it is). the boost curve could be better though. something is not quite right with that.

drop of 2psi on the boost curve

ruler flat boost curve would be nice but not necessary IMO. A drop of 2psi simply means your turbo's not working quite so hard at high RPM and that's where things start to fly apart. It just means you can run 2psi more boost in the midrange!! :D

The boost curve is my fault. I haven't adjusted the actuator enough. I will fix that.

As for more boost. I didn't try it but I doubt the turbo has much left in it so I didn't think to bother giving it a go.

Very nice curve Adam! I think this may have just swayed me to take my car to Unigroup when I get my tuned done. I'm was still deciding between them, Hitman or Powertune.

Do you mind listing what mods you have done to the car?

Rebuilt engine with Wiseco forged pistons and Tomei Type B, 260/260 Poncams. Running 8:75:1 compression ratio.

Blitz LM intercooler

Apexi pod (only because the stock airbox is such a pain to remove and refit all the time, the stock one was no restriction)

Nismo 480cc injectors at an occasional 100%

R34 GTR fuel pump and regulator

GCG highflow turbo

CES split dump/front pipe

Fujitsubo cat back (quiet one)

3" cat in since compliance

Apexi AVC-R

PFC

That's the power mods.

As far as Unigroup are concerned. They really involved me in the process which I liked. Of course you can drop you car off and pick it up 3 days later running perfectly but I like to fiddle and I like to learn. Yavuz (if i spelled his name right) is definitely a perfectionist but he doesn't think you will take his job if he teaches you something. He keeps no secrets.

Excellent, thanks! :D

Hmm I was thinking of going 260 poncams as well but if you're hitting 100% at 272kw I think I should stick to 250 because I've only got 440cc injectors. Thanks for the reminder, I think its just saved me quite abit of money. :D

i'm not sure I can see this direct correlation between cam duration, and injector duty cycle? injector duty cycle is controlled by one thing only. the numbers inputted into the CPU. the size of injectors required is controlled by one relationship only. the amount of air you are stuffing into the engine, vs the air fuel ratio you want to maintain.

lol, so you didn't cave when he told you to wind up the boost some more?

It's times like this i regret getting rid of my highflow and sticking the hks manifold and t300s on. So much work, so little gain....but I still have 2 more rwkw!

hi there just wondering how much did it cost?

cheers

They certainly know their stuff. I really enjoyed this one. I learnt a lot and the car is putting out a little more power, very safely, with nice smooth AFR's.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
