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

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
