Did a firmware upgrade on the vipec that solved the misfire problem i was having a few pages back.

Went back for another tune it made 486rwkw on e85. Engine is rb26, -5's running 26 psi

Can any tech heads tell me how to upload the dyno graph as its over 2mb ??

I'll PM you my email and i'll do it for you if you aren't sure how to

Or, you can sign up with a hosting place like photobucket and host it there then use the IMG tags to embed into this thread

EDIT: Here they are

that is a huge number for -5's even on e85....

keen to know spec list too

I was suprised myself but I have dyno papers from when it was first run in on dyno on 14psi, then tuned on 21 psi on pump fuel, then now on E85.

All the dyno runs today were in 5th gear as 4th would just bag the tyres.

Spec list of what i can remember in no particular order is-

RWD Rb26 conversion in an r32gtst

r33 5 speed

hi octane 11 litre sump (rear head drain, nismo oil air seperator going into main catch can that drains to sump.)

1mm restrictor

2860 -5s

big trust intercooler (unsure of exact dimensions but its over 100mm thick and pretty huge)

exhaust is stainless split dumps into 3 inch y pipes into a 3.5 inch sidepipe no mufflers

cams are tomei 260 10.8mm lift??

nitto/je pistons

nitto I beam Rods

Arp stud kits throughout

balanced and blueprinted

nitto 1.2mm head gasket

vipec v44 ecu internal boost controlled

fuel system is 1v 044 lift pump

2x 044 external out of surge tank feeding hicas lines

greddy twin entry rail

aeromotive fuel reg

ID1000 injectors

Eyebrow's are raised by that result... Seems to be a bit on the generous side?!?

What would correction ratio be between AT 9deg and IT 21deg?

+1

With probably the strangest boost curve ever... And -5s hold 26psi @ 8000rpm without any drop off in torque!?!

This is certainly odd.

I assumed the figure was so high as its rwd only?

To begin with the boost was at 24psi but the boost curve flattened off aswel as the power curve around 6500rpm making consistant 430 odd rwkw.

The tuner asked if i was happy with that and I said i wanted to add a litte more boost at the end of the rev range to see if the power curve would continue upwards in the direction it was heading. He then snuck more boost into the engine up top and thats what happened.

Im stoked with it, haters are guna hate either way but it is what it is.

The tuner said it was cylinder pressure that would kill the engine and it seemed as though it was struggling for spark as you can see from the dip in the power curve that looks like wheelspin after 5500.

The tuner had to adjust the boost controller in that way so it would run properly.

I have a crappy photo of the dyno screen from where he was adding more boost. It went 420 on 21ish then 460 odd on 24+ then made 486 up to 26psi

I just dont know how to upload it as its over 2mb. I can send it to someone if they can do it for me?

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
