BUGGA!

Went for the tune today and made 255awkw... I wonder whats the difference between rwkw and awkw... =(

But the car feels soooo much smoother now.

It’s around a 15% driveline loss.

So say 255awkw + 15% loss (38kw) = 293rwkw = 392rwhp

Which is about right for a standard N1.

@super coach tristan: tried a new grip tonight and got 51 with a strike rate of ~210 :blink:

Also got about 2 dozen stumpings and catches behind the stumps and a few wickets bowling. Good night (y)

To break it down more, rwkw to flywheel kw is roughly x1.33

so, 293rwkw x 1.33 = 389FLYWHEEL KW

Both post's above are rough, everyone has different veiws on loss and conversion rates

Maybe all these while the 300kw I had in mind was rw not aw. But the fact that the car feels lighter/smoother really surprises me. 1st gear used to hit limiter at 60-70km/h now it goes up to 80+. Amazed.

A stock N1 will never make 300awkw, unless the dyno is happy, or you tell the tuner to input 300awkw on the graph lol.

Your car is very healthy and is on par - What else is done to it?

Wooooo good shit

Ok, the list is as below

1) Trust Ti-R exhaust

2) HKS Front Pipe

3) Apexi Power FC

4) Apexi Boost Controller Kit

Thats all. Everything else is stock. 1.15bar I think (on the pfc hc). Cant get it to hold 1.2bar. No engine mods. Injectors are max at 90%.

Glad to hear the tune is good Brandon, who tuned it for you?

They must have lifted the rev limit a bit :blink:

Gavin Woods @ Autotech. Shit loads of GTRs... oh and 1 Tommy Kaira 32 (dont know real or not)

Sort out why it's not holding more boost

- Get a better fuel pump

- Throw in some larger injectors

- Get a good set of cam gears

Spend more time on tuning and you will have a friggin quick car..

Your lack of boost.. They're N1's even 1.2bar is tame... and lack of fuel is why you only got 255awkw. IMHO, with the above and a very good tune you should get up around 280awkw, if you run more than 1.2bar..

If I'm ever gonna get it tuned again, I'll try Matt Spry.

Both Gavin and Matt gave me a good impression when I called comparing to the others.

He reckon its restriction. Or maybe injectors (he's not comfortable running higher than 90%). Or might be the boost controller (I've heard the kit doest hold boost very well after 20psi)

Don’t get me wrong, Gavin knows more about Nissans than most people – however to cut a VERY long story short, I bought a second hand Q45 throttle body from a wrecker, unknown to me at the time the wrecker swapped the TPS unit for a ca18 unit, which meant the car wasn’t tunable… My car was with Gavin for a full day and he couldn’t find what was wrong with it.

I took it to Matty and he found within 5 minutes that the TPS had been swapped over, we put the correct Q45 TPS in and had it tuned…

I know where I will continue to keep going back

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
