I was suggesting maybe one of thse godly workshops should get some tips and possibly the equipment to retune the factory ecu so they can be called EVO' gods. The factory ecu is more than capabile for all your needs and is relativly easy to tune.

I agree someone needs to get their hands on the equipment and start providing tuning for an evo that is not running a motec.

tell benno to get a 4wd dyno and I can hook him up with the gear to tune these cheater cars

This is already available via a few guys that do ECU reflashing. It is one option I am considering and am speaking to someone about it at the moment. >_<

After seeing to Evo 9's make around 220 awkw's with only air mods and tune and a monster Evo 8 make 323 awkws I would definitely be taking my Evo to RE Customs. I have never seen a car like that Evo make so much low down power and still make a huge total.

I think these guys would have to be one of the best tuning shops in Melb at the moment. Healthy tunes with big power.

Now if Ray could only make time to fit my car in :O

its his baby, ill let him do it

But fark me, its one of the faster street cars i've been in.

Just so well refined... 230awkw, its going to be a farken fast car.

Thanks mate - I'm very happy with how she goes now - especially considering it's still only running stock boost

(admittedly it's now holding "stock" boost to redline! :happy: Still, considering it's only a base tune - I'm happy! :( Alan went in it tonight - I'll let him post what the thinks about it! :laugh:

Rod - I guess my end target is to be in a position to start offering custom tunes for 7/8/9's, but I'm still a little way off that, and I still need to speak to a few dyno operators to figure out if they're willing to "rent" out their dyno.

Cheers,

matt

What can I say, very impressed with Matt's IX. Thanks for looking at the ECU on mine last night and all the explanations, learnt more in an hour than I have in a lifetime about ECU's, extremely interesting.

It pulls hard for an Evo (have only been in a few) but sounds extremely tough with the exhaust too!

The knock surprised me on the VII also. I dont think I will bother running it on 100 RON purely for the km's I do and accessing the servos that sell it so a better tune for 98 would be my chosen path.

Let me know how you go with opening that file and I will keep you posted about the AVCR/gauge. ;)

Sounds interesting Matt. :laugh: Let me know how you go. I'd be keen for something like this a little way down the track.

Not until the Wide Band o2 sensor I bought shows up! :laugh:

Sif getting maggotted isn't a good thing to do!

I say you road tune this weekend for something to do ;)

Then i can come, I need something more constructive to do other than get maggoted with you all weekend which no doubt will end up happening!

No worries mate - Glad you could understand me - I tend to waffle on a bit - but it's just because I'm really into this stuff! :laugh:

Just wait till the final tune is done - it'll be awesome! :laugh:

Yeah no dramas - I'll sort out your timing for you to get rid of that knock. You'll be glad to know that I've already read your rom and removed the speed limiter amongst other things! :wave: Next time we catch up I can tidy up your ignition map and confirm that it's all sorted.

Cheers,

matt

Lowthy i saw your car take off from in front of Bells the other night. Jesus it looked fast. I want a ride....! wouldn't mind hearing to you dribble on about the ecu tuning stuff as well, always keen to learn more :P

No worries - I'll be giving rides out up at deca! :P

Re: talking dribble - no worries - most people tune out when I start talking about the capabilities of the ecu! :)

Wear dark sunglasses so when you decide it's time to tune out you can just close your eyes for a while without appearing to be rude. :P

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
