I got my R33 Auto tuned with specs below apart from the VG30 rear,

My Question is.. should I see more power once I put the Vipec on and retune?

My goal once fitted and tuned is 250rwkw(that would be around the 275-280 if it was manual so thats about all for a stock motor) and quicker spoolup and midrange.

Are these realistic expectations?

do you mean going from one ECU type to another?

then if thats your question, no as the ECU doesn't make power

the state of the tune, so going from a remap / PFC / HKS etc to Vipec wont make any difference in power

and if it does, your old ECU wasnt tuned properly

if you mean from stock ecu to Vipec then yes, youll make heaps more power (everywhere)

For some reason its gone out of tune, dunno why, Ive been told that the stock computer still has too much control and a standalone would get longer lasting results.

It now pings on high boost(15psi) and blows black smoke out the pipe most of the time, and is slowly getting worse, Have been running on low boost(10psi) for months now.

I realise the change of ECU wont give me a better HP figure but thought the bigger housing and a bit more boost on a standalone ECU with a good tune might do it.

Also.. always runs Vortex98 and was slowly getting worse even before changing the rear housing.

Another question is what type of cat are you running?

i had an xforce on my car for 6 months before it failed and my car was knocking all over the place. Chinese = bad.

Im not sure if everyone will agree with me but id say you should get a good after market fuel pump at those power levels.

2 guys in Sydney that i know running the same hiflow but with stock housings are making 280rwkw@20psi on their RB25's.

If I can get somewhere around that I will be stoked.

If i dont get the result from the hiflow what would be the next stepup from the hiflow?

Something in the 300-350rwkw region but with minimal lagg so as not to suffer too much with the auto?

I plan on building a forged motor in the future to run a bit bigger setup but wanna max out what I have at the moment!

HKS 3037 Pro S running E85 will do the job quite nicely.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
