big restecp to dirt and guiltoy.

To be honest i was worried when i first jumped in the car, set the ignition timing without even having to turn the CAS, Mr Dirt opens the car door and says what about the timing, i explained to him we don't need to touch the CAS, all done on the software i could see he was a little worried too, little did he realise this is no power FC.. The Vi-Pec V88 was starting to impress him before the wheels were even turning on the Dyno which was funny, he spent the last 12 months talking up this ecu and then forgot how good it actualy was :laugh:

After about 5 mins, Paul comes to the door and just watched the auto tune in progress, i looked up to look at him and then he smiled, looked at the pc and in green read "target reached"

After about 15 minutes i was checking the iat, checking the ect and the oil temp's and everything was fine.. It was then I realise i was not tuning a car built in someone's back yard, always checking stuff for issues or over heating issues, this thing did not go over 85deg and was just running for the most constant time i have ever run a car on a dyno, when changing gears and hearing that box crack the gears i realised I was tuning a Properly Built Race Car that was tough as nails then my confidence started to come back to me and we managed to map the whole car from 0 to 7000rpm in about a hour and a bit..

We ran out of time because Wayne @ Hunter All Wheel Dyno wanted to go home cos he was there all day for us, what a champion!

More tuning to be done this weekend, Twoogle & Guilt-Toy should be ready for power cruise on saturday i hope.

Bring on the power runs!!! 500rwkw & 400rwkw the mission for this weekend!

Ever thought of becoming a writer Anthony? :laugh:

Surely it will go over 500awkw, hell, the little GTRS's did that so the single should manage it easy

of course it will...but flogging an engine from the get go on pump fuel is not my thing.

Cool cool

'Little' GT-RS's? :)

In relation to the single :D

They've got stock like response on my GTR though ;)

was that just WOT or everything inbetween?

The whole map from 500rpm to 7000rpm has been mapped from the little amount of vacume that this engine gets to full throttle.

Power runs is the next step from here to map the rest of the car and clean up.

Should only be a hour dyno work + 15 mins on the street to get it right. I am not in a hurry with this car. If it takes longer then so be it.

well theres some pretty damn good positives

next tuning sess. are you able to get afr and timing plots vs rpm?

vacuum...what vacuum? I wasn't aware my engine produced vacuum.

Yeah the Vi-Pec has some awesome software / hardware loging capabilities. You can record / play back the run and it has 4mb of internal loging which logs the data even when the laptop is not connected which is enough for a track day or 2 worth of data.

Yes. It does venture into vaccume when cruising, its only on idle where there is no vacume :P

it's a V8 isn't it?

nah thats my car.. and only in a place full of yobbo's :P

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
