Hi all.

Just wanted to share my last tune with you guys. Managed to pull 207 rwKw at 12.2psi or so.

All the mods are as per my sig. The car pulls like a freight train, and compared to the old tune i managed to pick up 60 rwKw through the rev range.

Here are the graphs showing the peak power, plus the power at 4 different boost settings. Also atached is the old power run.

What you guys think.

Thanks CEF11E, yeah the power is great, the overall power is not the big thing, i love the big fat midrange, that is much better then top end power.

The issue was that for some reason, the stock ecu was causing missfire when hitting R&R, eaven though it didn't look like R&R. The ECU is fine itself, just the way all teh electronics worked together made it miss.

The new ECU is all good, and no issues with Splitfires and new plugs. So far so good. For now all happy, i am in the process of designing a new intake manifold, need to do more calcs for it. Also doing some design for a custom Intercooler water spray kit, i am hoping to see these later this year.

The kits will incorporate a new widscreen washer bottle with a seperate cooler watter reservoir with a new pump, a new spray bar and so forth.

Will keep people posted on these.

ALSO posted the differance between the power figures, as you can see BIG differance.

There is interest, but most people like just buying one thing to solve all problems..

Now anyways..

where did you get this central20 ECU from? and what model cars does it support.

Can many tuners tweak around with the cnetral20 ecu?

The ecu was from a friend, basically cost me nothing, as i sold my traded some parts and got the ECU. It does have a same setup as Dr Drift, with the plug in chip. Dr Drifft is comming to tas next week, so he is going to have a look what can be done with these. If it does work, then all i need is a new ship and a tune, yeehhhaa. But the safc II still works well with the ECU.

There are some getting arround on ebay these days, best to keep and eye out for it.

humm not much interest, did i post this in the wrong section???????

Mate I reckon you've taken the smartest path to 200(+) Rwkw's. there are people who've gone and spent thousands on power FCs/Eboosts/$1500 intercoolers etc only to make less than that. Go the remap ECU I say! There's no reason you can't get to the power limit of the factory turbo and injectors without spending big bucks. Good work :sorcerer:

This is an awesome result, especially with how much midrange you picked up in the last graph you showed. I am real interested in getting a simular sort of setup, as i still have the stock turbo and the power fc are quite difficult to come by. good work! :kiss:

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
