tuned from the dealer?

how can they do that with a 'stock' ECU ?

i think they can, they have machines that plug the ECUs into and gives them the maps etc, my mates piece of shit mobile was ****ing around, injectors flooding etc and hyundai put his ecu in their comp and fixed it up!

yer, but that is a Hyundai. Any car these days basically has that functionality - and its pretty common for locally sold cars to have the whole "jack in" mentality.

You can muck around with the Nissan CONSULT tool, which will plug directly into the ECU and you can fiddle - but that is mainly a diagnosis and troubleshooting tool, not a tuning tool as far as I can gather. Read the 200sx or the R32GTR service manuals (out there as PDFs) and you'll see what it does.

New plugs, new belts, new fuel filter, new oil and oil filter, radiator flush, gearbox and diff oil change, power steering fluid change, battery fluid check, air filter check, brake bleed and adjust, tyre rotate and balance.. ...all helps ! :)

would and oxygen sensor cause any other type of noticeable problems that can be found on a dyno ? as ive had a full powerfc dyno tune and everything looked fine on there, hmm, gotta get a retune next week anyways so i will tell them how much economy im getting and see what they say :P

Costs me about $20 for every 100km's I do... (32GTR)

I only usually stick in $50 lots and always get around the 250km mark... doesn't seem to matter how I drive...

Compaired to my old carby turbo 240Z at around $20 for evey 50km's... it's a dream :P

Just got 455kms out of pretty much a full tank - however consider this: I drove to heathcote and back, I also had 17 drag races at heathcote and also did lots and lots of fanging during the week, plus some normal type driving - I would say that my air / fuel ratio's and general state of tune is pretty darn good :D

I am now wondering how Jamezilla fared from doing the same thing ;) ? Did you go through 2 tanks or 3 ?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
