Hi Guys,

Ok Just want some info on hi and low boost tune how does it work,

I have a Power FC and a Profec B, When they tune it on low boost Does it read a diffent map then when it's on hi boost, Because if they tuned it only on one of the settings wouldnt it lean or be to rich and not run as good as it should?

Thanks.

well yeah adrian is right, a good tune will make sure its suitable for both

it will just cost you more $ as the tuner will have to spend more time, they'll do it on say low boost

then get it all nice, and then press the high button and see how much has changed etc.

so it will work, just expect to pay a bit more i guess

ask them

not necessarily no, the low boost tune could run across load cells that have too high timing

of course you would see this via the knock warning function and engine check light but its still possible, the afrs could be ratshit too

i dont think it would mattter which order you did it in

ah fair enough!

Ive got the same combo...mine runs sweet but was just seeing what the process could have been!

I get slightly more knock on high boost than low, but still a low knock level :)

In reality, a perfect tune on high boost should have a perfect low boost tune in it, but usually doesn't, there is no difference between part throttle high boost, and lower boost(same load cells) I always start with lowest boost, even no boost power runs and datalog it, then slowly increase the boost, tuning each one as i go. Gives optimum power at all boost/load levels

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
