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.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
