well there is a good chance i will be getting an ebc i would like to have it on a low boost setting for everyday driving and wind it up when i feel like getting excited.

Does anyone have any recomendations for an ecu tune in sydney? apart from SAS as they are booked out for some time

bbenny - I would be more than happy to fly up and help tune your ECU for you. Without goin to aftermarket ecu you really do need the Z32 AFM. The problem is that after the RB20 AFM reaches 5 volts the ecu has no idea how much the motor is flowing. the Z32 item should be good for 300 rwkw or more. It's a good idea to keep the safc for future fuel tuning if someone who can re-write the factory ECU's is not available.

Fuel cut defenders only place an AFM output voltage clamp on, and hence is exactly the same sceario of youe ecu has no idea how much air you're actually getting, and tuning the SAFC will not help as the output voltage will still be clamped.

Feel free to drop me a line or call me if you need any further info or advice... 0411 878 961

Doc.

thats only .8 bar. So its pretty damn good. The turbo hasnt hit its efficiency range yet which is about 1.5 bar.

The big thing with HKS turbos is they come on boost hard, I get boost coming on at just over 2K with a 3037, hits really hard at about 2500 - 2700 (hard to tell exactly:)) but goes from about 4 pounds boost to 14.5 in only 3-400 rpm - its nuts.

With 1.2bar on that turbo (you got 8.5:1 CR so pretty boost friendly) you will be looking at 230rwkw easy.

207 rwkw on 12 psi !!! using a 2530 ....

I dont think so .......

Either the dyno you are using reads way high or there is something wrong with your boost guage.

Iam running a hks 2535 with all the support systems needed, running 19 psi and i make 206 rwkw which is about 10 rwkw down on where i think it should be. Iam in the process now of finding that extra power.

Tim.

I think I know where your power is lost...

You live in Tamworth!

Dyno studies prove that the northern beaches area is worth at least 10% more power. North Sydney ranks highest at 40% more.

It's all in the demographics man, all in the demographics...

haha yeah Doughboy is right, move over here and you will gain massive power.

I actually had the dyno guys hook up the dyno to the vacume to measure boost also, i called them today and got the boost measurement, the dyno recorded 12psi but it crept to 14psi from 5000rpm to cut.

Japsix, im sorry to hear yours is only making 206rwkw on 19psi, that sounds wrong.

My car has always done pretty well on whatever dyno its been on. with std turbo on 14psi it was making 170rwkw and running stupidly rich.

from what ive heard and read about guys with 2530 equiped RB20s they all seem to make around 220rwkw on 1.2bar (17.6psi) so mine doesnt seem too far off those i guess.

:cool::):(

Yeah i no what you mean, i think we all try to compare dyno figures from different dynos to much. The only way to compare is put all cars on the same dyno on the same day.

I may live in Tamworth but all my tunning and dyno runs are done in sydney.

Tim.

im not sure yet, Dr Drift has offered to rewrite it, i havent heard of anyone having theirs done by him, so anyone with experience please let me know, he seems like a nice guy. im going to call him this week to talk.

otherwise i may take it to some place in Artarmon that retune ECU's but once again ive had no experience with them, so if anyone has recomendations that would be great.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
