hmmm.... Now we are going back to the basics

Although the basics seem rather..well... basic! :laugh:

However, they are very important as they are the foundation of a good tune.

Some of the wild variations we are seeing in tuning numbers are in part due to the basics being incorrect.

You can not have a useful comparison unless comparing apples and apples.

All engine/turbo set ups do have different characteristics (so need different numbers to make them perform best)

But you cannot hope to see the differences unless your basic set-up is correct and consistent.

Anyway, enough from me.... back to looking at your tunes :banana:

When you think about it, its easier to just whack the car on the dyno do a few power runs, chuck in a extra couple of deg timing and trim the fuel.. 4 or 5 runs and walllaaa your done. $350 later the customer has more power and is happy with their tuner.

I have seen many many dodgy jobs make very very happy customers. its about the $$$

Back in the day i was one of those customers who were happy with his $200 tune.

bring it to me i will fix it.

Your timing in the mid range needs to be checked.

I'd like to see you just change the midrange timing.. my ECU is standard too :P

Tempted to get a PFC so it can be properly tuned for 98RON, but I'm probably wasting my time with a standard exhaust.

Exhaust + PFC + 10psi could be a good move when I have the money tho.

Your $200 tune story sounds like a friend of mine.. he had a basic "on/off" tune done on his EVO4 and the thing just dumped fuel on boost. We always joked about our fuel gauges going up when we followed him, and told him to get a proper tune as he was probably washing his bores down with raw fuel. Sure enough, the engine only lasted a short while and it was up for another rebuild.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
