Now that i finally have a SAFC II (thanks Bam)

The car went in this morning to xspeed to get sorted out.

hopefully i will be able to get rid of the blasted poping at 4.5K upwards and be able to give it fuul stick for once!:uh-huh:

the car went in with 165rwhp (filter, exhaust, BOV and bleed)

hanging out to see what i get out of it.

i cant wait

will let you know tomorrow

xspeed know their stuff right?

(i hope im not vialating any business agreement here on the forums, its just a harmless question...)

you would have to admit though, that there are your good tuners and your bad tuners! we have all heard stories of what went wrong with the odd tuning job at whatever tuning shop.

well its back....

good news and bad

good:

im up to a 249wrhp!!!!!

i should probably put alittle of the explination in to the difference of dynos ie. the 1st figure of 165hp was from tim slakos dyno and the recent firgure of 249hp is from the gene exhausts one.

plus also i guess i also have extra 3psi boost now plus a safc tuned car now... im so wraped :D

bad:

the pop/miss is still there. it showed up on the dyno HUGE TIME!

isnt not as bad now.

i hoping that the plugs are just fowled from it running too rich for sooo long.

i will also have to check the coil packs too i guess.

anyone clued up on this proceedure?

it it the resistance between terminal a + c?

thanks guys

Nate

yeah sorry steve, i was going to head up your way for the install/tune. but at the moment it was just more convenient for me and others around me, to get it done close.

any chance i can rattle your brains on the weekend over the popping/ possible ignition problem matter?

Hmmm, 249hp seems lowish. I had 245hp with just upped boost via my blitz sbc, dump+front pipe and stock ecu with no safc. Though this was done on steve's dyno

man youre car is good

i had a similar flatspot/misfire etc problem and it ended up being a coil pack. if you can get your hands on a spare one just swap them in and out til you find the culprit. or maybe try the ignitor module...

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
