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

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

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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.
