The piston's will be fine !

It's a well tuned engine. We could tune it up to over 530-550rwhp if desired - no problem... but then we really would cook the internals. We are going to run the engine in this state of tune for a while before doing the internals. At this stage though, 300 reliable day after day rear wheel kilowatts... and a lot of cash later =0)

good stuff.

there was a dyno day here in melb last week for the commodore club. A vh 253 pulled a whopping 24 kw at the treads. Was pinging so bad. everyone laughed at the poor bloke.

with your gt30 turbo you running an external gate, and what sort of time does it come on boost by, would be lots of fun when it does.

Yeah we have an external wastegate. When the Boost comes on around 3500rpm it pulls damn hard !... hence the requirement for traction control =0)

I will be doing some more vids of the launch control, traction control and driving etc soon, i am still getting the dyno sheet scanned.

It could produce way more. The head just won't flow much more unfortunately, so with the internals done, cams etc, it should move up over 500rwhp. It is just tuned for reliability atm.

what happens.

do you get better launches or what.

is it autronic that has that device.

does the computer tell the motor to produce less power, so u dont brake traction, or does the arse end bog down, and just go for it.

i have heard people throw the word around but never asked how it works.

is it costly.

It is purely controlled via MoTeC. MoTeC misfires cylinders to retard power momentarily depending on the percentage of tyre slip v's throttle position. Basically, in the pouring rain, you can drop the clutch and all you hear is a popping sound and you scream off - way faster than you could possible imagine for the wet. It is great for hanging it around corners. Simply nail the accelerator and as soon as the prescribed slip is achieved, the traction control grabs the rear end and stops you flying off the road whilst still allowing control to maintain the corner.

Combined with launch control, traction control and flat throttle gear changes, it has provided a package that has made this car simply amazing to drive. Launches are sensational and slaps a smile on your face as wide as the car. Autronic has a traction control module, but no where near as good as MoTeC (just my opinion though).

Other sorts of traction control such as on the twin turbo 2JZ supra use a pre-throttle body restrictor to reduce air flow and accordingly power to the motor. This is poor by comparision as it prevents boost from being produced and offers poor performance. MoTeC maintains boost all through periods of traction loss.

The traction control module is around $800 on top of the price of MoTeC. All up, you can probably expect upwards of $6000 installed and tuned.

Ahhh, one of the most accurate dyno's in Australia... or in New Zealand.

It was on a new direct drive line Dyno owned by Speedworks in WA. Basically, you take off the rear wheels and bolt the two units up to the hubs. That way there is no slip. It is also brilliant for 4WD and AWD vehicles.

I do have some video footage of the setup, but haven't converted it to digital format yet... if you are interested.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
