hmm i might try that tomorrow then.

there is ignition timing and additional boost on the nismo - actually not sure about the boost increase.

well i know the arx MUST be tune differently as from factory it runs a few psi extra.. and who knows if nissan advanced abit of timing to compensate for the extra ass...

Getting back to informeter and modifying the signals from these 2 pots, when I made changes to increase opening from 80% to 90%, the informeter would read LESS than 80% (closer to 70% actually) and then the ECU would back off the fuel (cause it thinks I don't have the throttle opened as much as I do) so I would see the injector pulse width drop down (meantime I'm going faster) & of course the knock sensor would put an end to it pinch.gif I'm hoping for better results at the lower end of the spectrum though. There's more fuel at launch and that is where we want the benefit anyway soooo.... we'll wait & see.

seeing as i've got a wideband in maybe me n scott will also figure this one out. but im starting to think it may have something to do with the fuel map as Cihan cant tune the car under 3000rpm when in third, as if he floors it it will kick down to first and jump off the dyno..

so it could also be a possbility that the low end fuel map is muck, as mine does strange things according to the wideband, but once it gets to 3000rpm, ratio sits at about 12v and everything hammers

maybe we could talk Ian into sticking his spare motor on an engine dyno to see if Gihan can tune the emanage to suit! :P

Not that it would really concern Ian or I....but we do like to help when we can.

I think if the transmission has anything to do with it, just an engine dyno wouldnt work i dont think.. Cihan needs to do a track coughroadcough tune from standing still, to full ball in first. Maybe we can get around it with just that(i like to dream)

Now that's a generous offer :thanks: guys.

just food for lhought guys

the voltage range on most tps's is 0-5V

when you hook up an ecutalk display you can configure it to show tps volts or %

but for the % to show correctly you have to calibrate it as WOT isn't actually the max range of the sensor

is there any way to calibrate your display thingos?

and has anyone run the throttle out of the car and seen how far the butterfly is open at 86%?

yeah we already know its a range calibration on the informeter, i mentioned that one page back. at 86% its WOT

thats not the problem. being BTW the ECU retards the throttle to limit torque, we want it back. at almost any cost :P

I reset the Voltage range for the throttle this morning on the the informeter and now see throttle in the 40% bracket when stalling. It was a very brief stall and not completed so this may be a little higher in reality.

I will try to get a proper number later today.

by doing the Throttle position reset or?

is there a way to do it in the informeter??

VQ's have twin TPS signals, 0-5v and 5-0v.

The 36% at stall opening is the big issue, not the 86% once it opens.

Perhaps the issue at stall is just an input to the ecu from the brake. Maybe the nismo has this turned off but for those of us without "awesome", we could just cut the wire....

my thought exactly. i said it earlier but im not too confident in exactly which wire that is.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
