Dyno Tune - Thanks. Now Need Someone To Buy Touch Up Paint Off. Calsonic Blue.


Recommended Posts

Just finishing putting all the new stuff in my car. Who should I go to on the coast?

Was thinking Gavin Wood? Good choice?? or who else?

Thanks guys

....................

Rather than starting a new topic - I thought I'd just post this here.

I'm now looking for someone to supply/apply some touch up paint.

Any ideas?

Edited by Anakha

heard nothing but good things about matt. will be going to him when i get my SAFC2 tuned (waiting for cash >_<)

1 thing to remember: i've heard his dyno is a tad on the conservative side.. so don't worry about the figure it spits out, just look more at the before / after curve.

I got my PFC in now, in need of a tune. Stock maps Okay, but it could be better, a little more grunty in the low and midrange and about the same as stock up high... injector duty never go's above 40% on 0.9 bar so im questioning if I have the stock injectors in there...

anyway I might give matt spry a ring, would be good to get done before dyno day.

Already called him last week as a back up plan incase Richard cant do it...

2-3 week wait... Cannot do it before the dyno day... :huh:

The soonest he had free was the day of the dyno day... :)

whats matt charge these days? Is it still the $200/hour? That, in my books is a flamin rip off. A fair few people on here go to richard at Allstar Tuning. What's richard charge $/hr col?

Richard was $100 per hour

And for that price he (Matthew Spry) will happily lock your PowerFC, so that nobody else can tune it.....

thats 50% less than anyone else I know of

damn straight it is! damn richard and his awesome business, if only i knew all this earlier *sigh*

bahaha yeahhhhhh :D

You would have to ask him what his usuall rate is, but yeah SAU members get on the rollers for about $100 an hour...

Richard was $100 per hour

Yep, only for members tho...

:D get farked!

True...

Yes, but in Matts defence he asked me when he tuned mine if i would like him to lock it or not.

He expained if he locks it then people stuffing with the hand controler wont do any damage, he went on to say he is happy to unlock the pfc free of charge if nessary in the future... I saw the benifit of locking the pfc...

What if you wanted to change some parts which required corrections to the PFC? eg; injectors or AFM. That would mean you would have to drive all the way to the coast to make an adjustment that would normally take about 20 seconds. I don't see any benefit. I don't leave my car with monkeys, so nobody is ever going to be "stuffing" with my PFC.

Say you did leave your car with a workshop that you were unfamiliar with and you wanted to set the limiter to say 4000rpm just to be on the safe side, no can do without a trip to PITS....

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
