How long did the dyno tune take btw?? I have only done the road tune

We took quite a while (about 5-6 hrs??) on the dyno as we had some issues with the ECUs and the voltage and timing was jumping.

Toshi knew that there are 3 diferrent ECUs for the R33 - Series 1, 1.5 and 2.

Upon initial test at his house and a quick road tune, it looked like the S2 he had would work in my S1.5.

Toshi and Yavuz from Unigroup did some fine tuning on the emulator and then he burnt to the chip and installed into ECU. It didn't perform the same!

Long story short, a bit of head scratching and 2 chips later, the final tune was installed into a spare S1.5 ECU he had.

petern in your dyno, is that your boost dropping off at high rpms? that doesnt look too good! re-tune that boost controller if thats what i'm looking at :D

It is a turbotech manual controller, the boost lose was due to heat soak. The SMIC was actually very hot to touch.

I'm not too fuss about the boost drop, just means the turbo will live longer :D

Ahh yavuz helped out as well did he??

Yea hes an excellent bloke.. i have been to him a few times.

yea toshi was saying his maps are a little different depending on what series 33 you have. Which i thought was a little strange since its the same engine (with little difference)

As long as you got it all sorted out.

What was your ignition timing from toshis gun? Think he needs a new one lol

Anyone know of a place in VIC that will do this sort of thing?

Toshi, get a franchise happening!! Drive-in, remap, drive-out faster.

Dr Drift does all R33 ECUs now - located in Melbourne

http://www.drdrift.com.au/aboutus.php

I did get a quote of them, but went with Toshi as he is local, one day to get done and was cheaper

i can not wait until i get my remap done! im just waiting for batmbl to restock those hi flow cats and i would have all my parts ready in the garage! then i just find a saturday to install everything in hopefully before end of this month and will get a tune done by toshi around that time too. will post as soon as i get these all done with a dyno!

Hectic sounds good bored33.. Keep us posted

If you can crack the 200 mark then hats off. It will be pretty easy, as long as you get your boost sorted out correctly.

Perhaps i should increase mine a little to crack the 200mark..

Anyways didnt know batbml was still selling exhaust systems.. Havnt seen him on the forums for a while..

  • 1 month later...

this is MOST interesting

i have an R34 and as R33 owners know about limited supply of PFC's, R34's seem to be worse again, and every tuner in melb says "go power fc" :D

I've heard great things about about Sam (Dr Drift) and i was almost about to book in after chatting to another very well versed remap member here (666DAN) but somehow found this Toshi guy ;)

Dr Drift is $960 drive-in/drive-out (obviously dyno tune) BUT i believe the way he does it, you can pop in any time after an additional mod, and get a retune, just like power fc, but he doesn't have to burn anything again??

As in he can do live remapping or something? Not very good on the tech side of things, but would that be the difference here? Dr Drift can be touched up, but Toshi's whilst initially cheaper... you'd have to pay practically the same amount again if you change some mods?

I was also thinking of changing to a FMIC, but you guys are getting good results with the SMIC (obviously what i have already) so i might just stick with that! :(

There's also the factor that hitachi haven't made the single burn H8/534 processors for quite a while now.... Not sure how many are left? May be like PFCs as well soon...

27c256 Eproms are still in production, and UV erasable and retunable many times.

I don't know personally what method Toshi uses though.

damn it, why must they discontinue everything!! :D

ahhh... the guru emerges :(

With my extremely limited knowledge i believe that you can overwrite one of your own existing tunes Sam, where as Toshi can't erase his?

I think the might be the difference?

i'll let you guys nut it out ;)

Well let us know what you decide and how it all goes :P

However perhaps just pm toshi and ask him if he will ever run out of those chips :(

If he does let me know, coz i will buy a spair one hahahah

I still love my remap!!

But if i do go for bigger turbo, injectors etc then i would try and source a power fc!!

Edited by siddr20

the are still making H8/534.

Maybe 2-3 years after stop make.

Daughter board is expensive.

I have daughter board (and sellng) but my customers usually goes the cheaper way (H8/534).

I think std camshaft would remap better and race tune would PFC better.

Because remap is 16x16(If its evry400rpm, up to 6400rpm) map and PFC is 20x20.

This means pfc is able to up to 8000rpm(adjust every 400rpm).

If remap adjust rpm its like 500, 1000, 1500.......8000rpm(every 500rpm. but GTR std map is up to 8000rpm . start 800 every 400rpm and 5600 next 6400rpm and evey 400rpm then 8000rpm ).(I think for 0.1,0.2 etc sec powerfc will better in race track).

Also emanage is 16x16.

I think do not need 8000rpm for std camshaft.(RB25DET)

I said to my customers If your car is for race track , its PFC better but street and some time go to race track will remap is better.(cheaper and idle is much better than PFC)

Save mony and bigger turbo will much more power.

Hi siddr20

Yes, I will be able to remap.

you do not need change injector up to 360hp(270kw).

you need change air flow meter(Z32).

Thank you

Toshi thanks for info :thumbsup:

Just a quick question.

So if i do get a hi-flow turbo & bigger injectors (550cc) you will be able to tune it no problems?

Kind-Regards,

Toshi - im just wondering whether the re-map on GTT R34 will be as effective as you do on the R33? (Just to make sure)

Also, basically before i do the re-map il probably have:

- Full exhaust

- 11psi boost

Is it recommended to put in a front mount intercooler before re-map as i might reach 200kwrw mark with re-map?

P.S. im running 184kw only with cat back and 11psi, so with extra dump and re-map im expecting to see over 200kw, am i right? or should i go SAFC2 or E-manage?

siddr20 - Just very curious about 1 thing. You've got such nice results whether it was before or after, but how did you manage to get 183kwrw before hand with those mods man? I dun get it, does the fuel pump help with power that much? or was the dyno inaccurate? and with the re-map it musta actually made like 20+ kw push?

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out.
