hi guys,

im looking at getting a PFC for my GTR shortly and get it tuned with adjustable cams thats already installed (currently set a 0).. car is pretty much stock and running 13psi boost.. should i expect an increase in performance.. from mem i think its -2 inlet +4 exhaust or vice versa for GTR's? also getting hi-flow cat put in as well so hoping for better performance..

wot if only tuned the car with my chipped hks ecu.. how much roughly for a tune like this (in syd).. also workshop recommendation would be great as im new to the area..

Alot of questions.

1. If you aren't expecting a performance improvement why are you putting in adjustable cam gears? :) You will pick up some gains. The cams need to be moved closer together - so advance the inlet & retard the exhaust, not the other way around.

2. High flow cat probably wont make bugger all difference over a stock cat.

3. Just get it tuned with the PFC & don;t worry about messing with the HKS stuff.

4. NFI.

Freaky wierd man

I am doing the same thing:

Power FC and Adj Cam pulleys.............on an R32 GT-R

no time to say more, will add later.

Come on Matt - bigger turbs and bigger injectors while you're at it.

You know you want to!! lol How's Esperance?

As djr81 says you will get some and its worth it but there is much more lurking around the corner.

LoL Lance,

Nah, don't want to spend more than that this year. That's just a start. Get the most out the standard engine.

I really would like some turbos and such.........but you know how it goes. Esperance is pretty good at the moment, got quite a few blokes coming out of the woodwork now that I have got THE GT-R, starting to get them all together and go out for power cruises. Few more skyliners and other modified vehiculars.

As for the topic:

Power FC for the win. So many other people are using it and have such good results, plus you can't beat the plug in ability and the support for it out there, heaps of workshops will be able to tune it.

The adjustable pulleys are good for fine tuning the engine - ever heard of freak engines that just go! This should help get closer to that. Also good for adjusting your rev range properties on more modified cars. Best results will probably be obtained when you tune the cams and PFC together at the same time to suit each other.

yer i bought my adjust cam gears along with the greedy timing belt on my car and changed my water pump and my tesioners while i was at it, i got it tuned when i got my pfc all together, the cam gears will make a difference if you are getting the pfc put in and running 13psi and gave me 235.2kw at 4 wheels, but with the cam gears and the pfc will give your car quicker spool but 4 a top end they are not all that, highflowed cat wont do anything well maybe will but you want feel no difference because i got it on my car and better to have an exhaust fron turbo back (dumpipes, front pipes) then u will feel something, goodluck

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
