Johnilicte: I'm doing a little bit of Noob tuning at moment following course from HPA. Would you be able to share some experiences in tuning Nissan VTC system in areas of ignition, fuel and dis/engagement? I'm using adaptronic ecu. Thanks.

of course, e-mail me all your questions and I shall answer ..

Long story short with VTC enabled you produce more torque due to higher cylinder pressure thus the motor can only take less timing, as soon as it disengages torque will drop off - reducing cylinder pressure allowing you to ramp up timing again. From my limited tuning experience, motors with a shorter stroke will prefer a mild ignition ramp after peak torque, where as a longer stroke motor i.e. SR OR 4G likes loads of timing hammered into it after peak torque.

Best way to determine where to disengage VTC... setup a mild timing map with VTC on a few thousand RPM past peak torque ~6500rpm (of course monitoring knock) do a dyno run, then set the VTC point around 4500rpm do another run..

Overlay the two torque curves and you will see your optimum VTC disengagement point.

Of course after you do that, you can start ramping more timing after VTC disengagement and tune for power up top.

That's a quick run down of it.

Just a note, I've never worked with variable cam timing and variable lift.. RBs and SRs use a fixed on and off point which makes tuning easy for an amateur like me.

In terms of injection, VE is closely related to torque.. more torque higher VE so it's natural you see your VE decline as your torque drops off.. this is the beauty of VE tuning.. makes tuning easier

Thought i would post up my results of Stao's fantastic handywork. My car has sat in my garage for 1.5 years, and finally got round to fixing it.

Unopened RB25

Pretty much the usual stuff.
740cc injectors

PFC

Greddy rad and cooler.
Scotty Intake

Just a typical hiflow which i bought 15 months ago. I was told it would see 230kw on 98 and roughly 260 on e85.
Anyway today i picked my car up and got this:post-75784-0-29419900-1405668770_thumb.jpg

All on BP98. Might be interesting if i put it on the juice.
Highest run was 265.

is it an R33 highflow? the new ones can make around 270 rwkw around 20-22psi on 98 so your result is very good for around the 17psi mark. Personally I wouldn't push it to 20psi on a stock motor on 98 but it's possible.

The old highflows maxed out around 230 I think.

on e85 the new highflow makes around 320rwkw around 22psi

Personally I wouldn't push it to 20psi on a stock motor on 98 but it's possible.

Been running 20psi on a hypergear turbo as a daily for 2 years now :)

Boost doesn't kill engines it's detonation that kills engines.

Dont mean to interupt but what do you mean new hi flows?

@Johnilicite: Thanks for the info. Using the adaptronic ECU in the VVT tab. This is for the Kia sportage. would you know what those sittings are corresponding for? Thanks.

And Grimsy. Thanks for submitting the dyno result. This is using the current profile, the very distinct difference between the two, is the current model has no issues holding boost and much happier taking on timing. Great work.

My brother got his s13 road tuned today with atr28ss2 and s15 VCt motor only on 20psi due to running pump 98

Goes good but definately doesn't feel as fast as my 180sx but power feels very linear and comes on instantly

Not like mine as it hit 3500-4000rpm there's a big surge in power and throws you back or tyres fry

We will soon see the difference as were going to the drags soon

^^

Thanks for the feed back.

Everyone getting in on those HPA courses atm!

cheers

I do highly recommend people go on the HPA site and at least acknowledge the content in EFI fundamentals and road tuning before even think of modifying any cars.

It would contain a good entry level information for a brief understanding of what the tuner does, what a good tune is, and how power and torque is generated in relation with supporting mods installed.

#@hypergear - with constant variable timing this is where it gets really fun/confusing as the cam timing varies over RPM & LOAD, i.e. MAP

Ignoring the duty cycle settings (determines how much duty is required to shift the cam actuator) & and the controller gains (closed loop calculations P = proportion gain at present correction, I = Integral gain past correction, D = derivative gain future correction)

VVT1 = Intake Cam

VVT2 = Exhaust Cam

VVT1 = uses Fuel 2 table to set the angle, which is depending on RPM & MAP - this makes it 3 dimensional, that being (RPM, MAP and angle of advance/retard).. so as MAP increases and/or RPM increases the timing changes. If you click Target Angles it will take you directly to Fuel 2 table.. please note the values showing in there are not fuel correction values.

VVT2 = uses just a standard RPM table, there's only 2 dimensions in there.. that being the RPM and the angle of advance/retard of the cam

Unfortunately I've never tuned cars with varying cam timing so I can't input too much here.. I've always worked with Nissan's dinosaur on/off timing (which makes tuning much easier too) :)

But I can imagine as RPM increases you would want the advance on the intake to decay i.e. retard, however at the same time you want to advance the exhaust cam as RPM increases to promote more air being "pumped".

Yep, did that! :D Going for a 1 on 1 course at Unigroup Engineering once i register my 300ZX :D

Anyone used Siemens Deka V injectors? they come in "short" length, i.e. 48mm end to end OR 35mm O-ring to O-ring?

They seem to be pretty good based on these tests:

http://racetronix.com/product/Injectors/FI114700_Brochure.pdf

I've been trying to redo my injector needs by finding a cheaper alternative (yes I'm being cheap, but I can't envisage spending $1.2k+ on stuff when the motor cost the same price)

Posting some updates:

Been dummying some direct bolt for Holden VL Turbos. This particular one is made based on our ATR43G3 turbocharger. Factory 2.5 inches cast dump is not replaced with a full 3 inches dump including a much larger 38mm internal gate. Expected to support 260~280rwkws on a RB30ET with supporting mods on P98 fuel. Bigger profiled turbochargers can also be be built based on the same turbine housing configuration. That includes our ATR43SS2 (500HP), SS3(530HP), SS4(550HP) and G4(600HP) models.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
