Whats up everyone? Figured id use this post to introduce myself and ask a question or two. Names Frank and i own an auto 96 GTS-t here in Okinawa, Japan. Mods i have are full turbo back exhuast, greddy FMIC, BLitz DSBC, HKS panel filter, BOV, and NGK iridum plugs Gapped @ 0.8

The question i have (which may be a dumb one) but i have done some research and havent found anything. I increased the boost to about .85 and i noticed an diff in performance, but the biggest gain comes at 6000 rpm to redline. And its REALLY noticeable. So my question is why has the powerband shifted this way? I have tried resetting the ecu, or do i just need it tuned? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

hey frank....

i would check the settings on the EBC maybe the gain is set too late

cheers luke

The boost is full on by about 4000.

^ and it needs a tune, easiest way to do this is to use an apexi safc and sitc :banana:

Whats a sitc?

Thanks for the replys.

Frank, are you on zeroyon?

Naw, i didnt like that forum too much. Not as much BS here on AUS, IMO

super ignition timing convertor

so your tuner can adjust the timing whilst adjusting fuel :banana:

Gottcha, i was hopin it would be somethin i fix, cause that means i got to get off ass and go find a tuner. But thanks for the help.

boost solenoid? variable cam timing kicking back in? i know alot of stock skylines with usual mods u can feel them pull extra hard at 5800-6000 to redline i always thought it was the variable cam timing kicking back in?

Mine used to feel the same when I was running that sort of boost.

Would just snap from 6000 - 7000RPM, reason it was doing it like it was, was because between 4 - 5K, torque was coming on strong, but 5 - 6K I dropped off in power, then over the 6 - 7K range I was picking up 30 - 40RWKW within about 100RPM (6 - 6.1K) and it'd pull it's hardest to redline.

    • 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.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
