has anyone else had there car tuned on ve cos ive been in cars with lag but this feels different it could be set up.in the top end you see the torque drop of it was explained to me that its cos of the cams need to be bigger tuning in volumetric efficiency  calculates the amount of air that can flow throw the engine

Tuning in 'VE' is just a way of making it easier for the the tuner to make changes and see what is going on, so long as it is a competent tuner the end result should be the same - if any tune isn't matched to the VE patterns of the engine then the mixtures will be all over the show. So really all tuning is VE tuning, it's just sometimes more obvious than others depending on the software ;-)

would that be a fuel AFR like bondi beach as i saw mine starts high waves up and down and at the end it at around 11.6 instead of a straight line what im use to.

If the efficiency of the engine drops off your VE numbers will tend to flatten out and sometimes run backwards.

That torque curve says it all. Add some more boost if you have a decent controller with rpm correction at the point where the torque curve falls over (150km/h). Power will keep climbing and torque curve will stay flatter.

do you think that he is pulling my leg about the cams

I'd be interested to see that curve - sounds a bit odd.

i have finely post a video up not the best but it gives an idea.

Looks like it goes well, hard to tell from clips but it seems on the laggy side to me though - could easily be wrong. Usually easier to tell when you can see rpm/boost. Enjoying it?

unfortunately i did not get a print out of the a/f ratio but it was as i said.lots of things are wrong,when it gets seen to ill post the report of things that are wrong.its not really enjoyable knowing it could be better after spending $1460

for eg

flats spots in the rev range

one value set up for anti lag instead of a map set at 23psi which is way to hi

boost setting set up wrong so that the car was spiking at 29psi every time

knock threshold not set up

if car stalls its hard to start

fouling plugs

+++++

so once i gets fixed im sure it will not be as laggy,im also getting a haltech wideband for the Ecu.

Clearly they can't tune! Going elsewhere or staying with them?

here is his map for the anti lag lunch control,

the other pics is how the map should look (it works it may not be the best but it works good)

Lets just keep the tone of the posts down in here, it's treading pretty closely to the line (and i've edited out some of the comments made thus far).

Be mindful that anything you post is only ever one side. Agree with it or not, that's how SAU is and needs to be to survive and keep the legal bills to a minimum around here

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
