Hello,

I am just interested in what everyone thinks of this tune....and if It good for road.

I asked for mid range punch....and everyday driving conditions......

I have not driven it yet....disregard old tune...boost controller was not set up correctly.

All of the technical info is available in RB26 turbo upgrades.

Yes I know it is a bit wonky...this is why I am asking this question.

I have been told it is not on shoot-out mode......which is at 15km intervals on the graph...but at 5km interval,therefore plots are marked up and down.......making a more precise type curve

Your down around 50rwkw give or take i reckon aswell knowing your basically using 2530's

I have been told it is not on shoot-out mode......which is at 15km intervals on the graph...but at 5km interval,therefore plots are marked up and down.......making a rounder type curve

Have you even looked at the graph dude?

Its RPM based, not km/h based. :sorcerer:

I think someone is leading you up the garden path.

RPM and SPEED(KM's and hour) are both the same.

As for the 50RWKW I am under.....I believe his dyno needs to be callibrated...I have been told he is always 30 to 40KS's less than other tuning houses.

Im sorry, every dyno shop says their dyno reads lower, that way if you get more power somewhere else you cant blame them. Plotting is no different in shootout or non shootout mode. If their dyno reads low, dont you think they would be the first to get it calibrated? To be perfectly honest, i dont see how cars can be tuned to give a wavy power graph, on a power run it only goes through about 15 load cells, and as long as the numbers dont jump all over the place ive always found the curve to be smooth as long as there is no missfire. Can you get a graph of AFR's?

I stand by my comment about the garden path.

Definately sounds like someone is taking you for a run.

There are plenty of well known, proven workshops in Vic.

Just go to one of them

i can't be in shootout mode mate as it's not a dyno dynamics dyno. i have nfi if it's a good tune or not. maybe your engine has 60psi compression and the tuner did an amazing job just to get that power. on the other hand it could be a really good engine, with a really poor tune. and yes, every single dyno shop says their dyno reads low...

Id have to aggree with the up and down waves on the tune, usually they are alot smoother than that aswell, looks almost like up and down "fluctuating" boost in that area or wavey afrs whos to tell tho easiest also would be an afr curve and or boost curve may help in determining these things as well as barons comments its hard to say health engine or not

Thank you for your comments....I will try and get a afr graph and post it up soon....tuner will not be in town till thursday.

The state of the engine also has a lot to do with the max power.....I agree.

Was unaware that most tuners said that their dyno's showed lower readings than the others.....would have thought they would have the highest reading to lure the client back.(ie)"look at that great curve...look at that power I was able to tune in.."

When is the next Dyno day for SAU(VIC)...would love to see all the cars rated on the same dyno.

Dynamic Test systems are usually very good dynos.... every bit as good as Dyno Dynamics. That wavy section could be a myriad of things.... roller traction etc...

power for GT2530's is average though.

boostd mate. inlet cam and exhaust cam are two different things. you can't compare settings on his inlet cam to your exhaust cam. it's quite common to retard the ex cam and advance the inlet cam on rb26.

Whether the power curve is smooth or not can be a function of the scale of the dyno graph itself. Some tuners are known for making the vertical scale on a boost or AFR curve massive so the AFR and/or boost curve looks very flat.

In saying that I would expect more power everywhere with 2530's.

Yes, thanks for that. It's well known that retarding the exhaust cam will increase exhaust gas flow at low rpm in turn bringing boost on earlier, The advanced inlet cam causes a lumpy idle and better efficiency at high rpm....which can be seen on the dyno graph. I wasn't comparing the cams, but, what the different settings will acheive. His exhaust cam has been set at 0

Maybe the timing belt is loose and the cams would dial into in+2/ex-4 who knows, however comparing before and after graph lines its pretty obvious the tune favours top end by the shifted torque peak.

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • 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
