from the little info we have I would say it's a poor tune. simple as that. the car should not run poorly over a change in altitude of 400m.

hmmm, as stated my STI did the exact same thing, different car different tuner?

If it is a temp and barometric pressure issue, it could be far more than 5% if none of it is corrected, however 10% still shouldnt be enough, however i have seen it happen without the use of an air temp sensor, basically in summer blowing black smaoke, and lean in winter.

crap, so how is that fixed?

cheers

how? with a real tune & a real ecu - ie go back to the PFC or get the link installation sorted and tuned properly

if its got a map sensor it should be setup accordingly, along with air temp sensor to correct itself

* WINNER *

yeah but it had a power fc in it before (tuned by another tuner) and it ran sweet till it came to queenstown, then again ran like crap

Im not sure if you can do anything about the barometric pressure compensation, as that should be built into the firmware of the ecu, however the IAT table makes a massive difference. From what i see a lot of tuners dont think outside the box and realise just how important having an Air temp sensor, and the correct corresponding numbers in the table.

Any competant tuner would usually turn away any map based ecu if it lacked an IAT sensor... well around here anyway.

Couldnt agree more, but ive seen tuner do installs without them enough to know it happens around here, usually the excuse is the owner didnt want to spend the extra for the sensor and install! Crazy.

hey there,

just figured out the backfire/hesitation is when boost starts building when its cold, when the engine isnt warmed up

also there is no cold start up set on the LINK either yet?

ideas??????????????????????

Are you anywhere near rips, i would take it to them. If you can put up screen shots of the settings in the software then it will make it easier.

hey, no which sucks, about 15 hrs away, bummer though i sponsor Robbie Ward at RIPS, ha.......

will try getting that info

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
