you'll find that dyno RPM boost thresholds don't mean shit in the real world, especially with a manual vehicle.

for example, my car made full boost at 3700rpm or so from memory when it was on the dyno.

on the street, it's like this if you mash it from idle:

1st: full boost 4500rpm

2nd: full boost 4000rpm

3rd: full boost 3600rpm

4th: full boost 3000rpm

so dynos aren't really very accurate when you compare it to a real-life situation.

the only reason to be concerned is if the car feels bad on the street, or doesn't do what you want it to do. then you know you need to change things around to suit your driving style. for example, next time i get the car tuned for more power (up above 400whp) i'm strongly considering going to a larger supercharger drive pulley to push the turbo up to a faster spool and get full boost down to around 3000rpm on the dyno. after driving the thing for near on 2000km now, that's the only real change i have even considered making.

y do all the tuners use speed as one of their axis? god it gives me this shits!

Not my dyno - its my mates.. i just change what i needed to - just to get it how i know how to use it :P

yeah, but why dont they just change the bottom axis to rpm? seems farking stupid to me :laugh:

How do you do it on a dyno dynamics dyno ? tell me how and il do it next time ! - considering i do all my tuning by myself it does not really bother me if its in km/h

Guilt toy, what pump you using and do you run a rising rate regulator?

I made 312rwkw with 550cc injectors with 044 pump and rising rate reg, only running around 75% duty cycle from memory.

I am using a Walbro 550hp pump - i wired it to a 12v relay etc etc... im using a sard fpr - i dont know if its a rising rate or what the rate is.

Funny thing is that at 317rwkw my injector duty is only up to 75% - its because it completly runs out of fuel - on the fuel pressure / flow tester it was going down to .5 litres a minute returning to the tank. So i am using pretty much all the fuel thats being pumped down the line. Need lots more flow and more reliable pressure.

Might get another walbro pump and stick it in the tank OR get a surge tank and a 044 and use the walbro to supply the surge tank.

no idea mate, but there should be a variable you can change somewhere...

Use the rpm probe on the dyno, it goes on the ignitor loop, where the timing light goes.

Or input the tyre size and diff ratio into the DD computer and it will work out the engine RPM

Piss off that Walbro fuel pump, they are shyte. The 550 bhp rating is for an N/A engine, they don't handle boost, as soon as the FPR compensates for boost pressure, the fuel flow drops of dramatically. Go Bosch, they are rated for flow at 73.5 psi, so plenty of head room for boost.

:sick: cheers :laugh:

Thanks Sydkid

Could i use the walbro to feed the surge tank and use the 044 from the surge tank?

Just wondering if the walbro would be good for a pre pump.

Cheers

If the dyno doesn't have the rpm input(they are a rip off), then i set the speed to 101kph, and hold the car under gentle load at 100, look at the rpm on the handset etc(not the tacho) Then press "Control R"and set the ratio tacho in the top left hand of the screen to say 31.50 if it was doing 3150rpm at 100. when in power run mode, press control down and set the axis to rpm. you may then have to set the parameters using shift down to say 2000-8000. Im a bit rusty, but that should be right. The dyno should have a piece of cardboard that sits above the function keys and explains all this, but its probably sitting in the draw.

I have my 044 mounted intank(it JUST fits in the stock bracket), not loud, and no surge tank needed.

im sure my emanage will be as good as a power fc ...? at the time i didnt have the cash fot a micro tec and got the emanage ultimate cheap and brand new so i didnt complain

Unfortunately its impossible for the emanage ultimate to be as good as a powerfc as the emanage has limitations due to its design and its piggy back nature (stock ecu limitations, fuel cuts etc).

You'd be better off having the stock ecu remapped. That is providing you don't want to utilize the vct.

cubes i think ya missing some info on my motor /progress

i have a rb25de non vct head with performance springs at 90lbs i was told also been faced and ported.

i have gtr 444 injectors with resistor pak a kkr480 q45afm<= not fitted yet a bosch 910 and surge tank.

hoping for 400rwhp if i can make that with the emanage..?

as it was tuned last time at boost works

as a rb2030 yes a 20 head on a 30 block with vlt pistons no combustion chamber change just water jackets moved 3mm over to fit the 30 ... the problem i had is vlt pistons and rb20 head makes 180 psi cylinder pressure and add 12psi makes pistons fall apart espically after 380,000 ks old pistons made 150 ish and wasnts able to make any more due to rb20det afm neerly maxing out .. pluss 38 degree days didnt help

but my loss .. and ill start again

Yep, Walbros are fine as long as they don't have to pump much pressure.

:P cheers :P

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
