Finally results are in.

She punched out 200.2 ATW on 12 psi (although spiking to 12.8) Not bad. But useless.

As soon as i took it out on the street off the dyno and gave it some... Rattling noise. Ping im sure. The 'tuner' was with me at the time, and looked concerned when i stated hey its f**king pinging hard.. he wound back the boost a little and f**ked with the timing.

Still did it at around 11.8psi. He stated you need a decent intercooler... Drove it tonight briefly on the high setting and it didnt ping (very cold out tonight), but it comes on boost in an unstable manner. the dyno readout is pretty wobbly and has a dip higher in the revs. Ill post this when i can. Looks like shit to me. With the standard solenoid grounded permanently it pulled 182kW ATF 9psi and a nice flat curve.. With the Eboost on 12psi its wobbly and looks like shit.

The boost controller is a new Turbosmart EBoost Street. Ive been reading the manuals and its states various options regarding gate pressure and sensitivity. Im sure these could be improved as it spikes considerably. I thought these f**king electronic things didnt spike once set properly.

Seems i now have little to no faith in his abilities or advise so im forced to have it retuned by someone who is trustworthy because i cannot comfortably drive it again without freaking out. Its now set back to setting one with runs around 9psi.

Can anyone please a reputable tuner in Sydney??? I dont care what it costs as long as they know skylines!!! Desperately need some decent advise i dunno who to listen to now

This sucks as this car was absolutely perfect prior and its disappointing to be honest. Its impressed everyone whose worked on it... Im now contemplating ripping it all out and replacing it with the factory setup as before running high mode constantly... Atleast i could rev it and not worry about destroying the motor.... Surely i could run 10-11 psi with a r34 SMIC without troubles??

Current mods

R34 SMIC

3 inch Nismo exhaust

JJR Split Dump/Front

K&N High Flow Panel

Turbosmart EBoost Street....

Cheers,

Matt

does it have an aftermarket ecu or are they just advancing the timing via the CAS?

Standard ecu. I wouldnt have a clue as to what you would do if you were adjusting timing (im mechanically impaired). I heard him mumble it, open the bonnet and adjust something at the front of the motor?

You pulled 200kw@wheels on the stock ECU and a side mount :blush:

The stock ECU should be dumping bulk fuel, how the hell is it pinging?

Adjusting the timing via the CAS is pretty bloody dodgy.

+1

You need a decent fmic or a bigger side mount, also what are your plug gaps, at that boost level should be 0.8 or 0.9mm

no need to reduce the plug gaps, if your coils are good you can (and i do) run 1.1mm all day every day with any sort of power the stock turbo can give you.

To a point of course, i hit 18psi with my standard turbo and it was breaking down, i now have a hi flow and any more than .85bar and it starts to break down.

ive never heard pinging before. it was an obvious metallic rattling at revs under load. But the AFR's showed at high revs around 10.5 : 1. Its got me f**ked i just dont understand it enough to get my head around whats happening.

People are running in excess of 200AWKW with an R34 smic - that's not the problem. You need some way of tuning the motor and just playing with the cas doesn't count.

If you can't afford a Vipec get an SAFC and an SITC and get them tuned on a dyno.

Contact Anthony (Guilt Toy) for a tune and the lowdown on your options (may be others in your area but I wouldn't know).

Another point is that you should never hear pinging with a standard r33 ecu as when ever the knock sensors pick up knocking (usually it is very conservative) it will retard it.

the sound of knocking, its fairly loud? could be heard over the motor revving? this was

is the engine light flashing when the "noise" occurs? if its detonation, and you can hear it whilst driving, inside the car, surely the engine light will be flashing.

its not something silly like being able to hear the EBC solenoid ?

if its detonating, and the engine light is not flashing, maybe check the ecu and see if it has been attacked. maybe its been fiddled with

is you rev limiter at 6800 or 6900 or what ever the stock limter is? what about speed limiter?

i know my car a few year back on the std ecu, anything over 10 psi, Rich & retard would chime in, and it would run like a fat kid through sand.

I didnt notice the engine light. I generally notice and hear every noise and rattle. i dont think ive ever revved it to the limiter. it revved to nearly 7 on the dyno but i didnt hear a limiter. The rattle noise also appeared a little lower in the revs around 4-5 k...

It shows on dyno sheet AFR running down to mid 10's which is apparently rich as hell. my piss weak understanding tells me it shouldnt knock if thats the case? One thing is certain on high mode last night it spikes up to atleast 13 or more. On the low setting it doesnt spike at all. After reading the EBC manual i think i can adjust this with gate pressure etc so it doesnt come on boost as quick etc??

Ill pay anyone who is genuinly capable in there trade and has a good knowledge of skylines. Im tired of pretenders, as this EBC wasnt cheap including the dyno run/tune which was useless as tits on a bull.... what good is 200 ATW if you cant use it safely

    • 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.
