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

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

[Brandon]

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.

[Nismo_Boy]

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

I'll make it easier.

- What boost?

- What ecu?

- Any engine mods?

[Smity42]

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

They must have lifted the rev limit a bit

[Brandon]

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%.

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..

[Nismo_Boy]

By very good tune I mean someone like Matty Spray..

My rb/S13 with 600rwhp was tuned by Matty.

[Brandon]

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
