hey everyone wen converting a gtr from 6 throttle to big single throttle im very unsure if u have to sumhow strip the 6 butterflies out of the 2nd part which attachs to the head or do u take that whole piece off all thogether cuz that main part is where water is delivered to ur engine which im very unsure wat u have to do???

well for one i will be running an apexi powe fc d-jetro word is they have trouble tunning them with the 6 throttle setup hence y i want a single throttle body setup and i want the apexi bcuz its the cheaper option to still be able to have a heads up display to keep a close on on knock......

and on closer inspection the throttle bodies are actually seperate from the other part of the manifold so yeh i guess that solves that issue

PFC is one of the ONLY ECU's that uses the factory knock sensor to display a readout, its the upside of MANY ECUs.

And as for the motec/tuner/whatever - obviously he isnt as good as he thinks if he is saying it cant be done :D

Yes, but the PFC doesnt do anything about it, so unless you hear knock and keep into it whilst looking at the hand controller, or watch the hand controller whilst the car is driving, its not really much good unless you have datalogit. If you are running stock cams, there is no reason to go single throttle, the d-jetro will run it fine, just hook the map sensors up exactly as the instructions say.

If you are "hearing" knock... then the tune is simply shithouse and the tuner should be replaced quick smart.

I have never "heard" knock in any of my motors in 5 years. Its reached 40-50 on some occasions due to a cell (or two) being out, but that's it.

Any more than that has been due to too much ignition advance by my own doing.

Whilst the PFC doesn't retard like a stock ECU would, a decent tune would not reach that limitation at all.

But hot weather and/or a bad batch of fuel could certainly do it

Unless it was a race car (in which case it would be tuned for the conditions of race day anyway) then i would expect my tuner to allow a safety margin for atleast the weather which should also account for a dodgy batch of fuel.

Or maybe im just expecting to much??

i am assuming that it is tuned on one ron and only used on one ron, mine is standard but i always use 98 anyway.

do bad batches of fuel get bad enough that when filling up with 98 that it can actually be as low as 91?

You don't have to be looking at the power FC controler to see if there is any knock, if the reading goes over 60 it flashes the "Engine check" light.

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
