Hi everyone,

After recently purchasing my '96 R33 with a 3" Turbo back exhaust, boxed POD, solenoid boost mod (7psi) stock SMIC and Turbo I'm concerned that I should get the car Dyno tuned. With these mods would it be wise to get the AFR's checked and a general tune done? or would it be a waste with only minor mods. Could anyone recommened a reputable workshop to go to on the Gold Coast ?

...Last thing I need is for something to go Bang!

Cheers.

Is it running the standard ECU or an aftermarket one?

As above, there's no real way to tune the stock ECU - plus it should be fine with those pretty common mods.

If it's aftermarket, alot have hand controllers which you can check knock readings and other info

a dyno is never a bad idea if you have the cash as it can give the mechanic and indicator if things are on there way out, eg fuel pump, blocked exhaust etc..

Thanks Fellas,

It is running the stock ECU no other management in place, and it runs without any issues. So a dyno would only be good to show numbers and look at the AFR's but there would be nothing that could be done as far as "tuning" or fixing the AFR's.

Puts my mind at ease about that issue then.

Cheers.

get a aftermarket stoichemeter (i cant spell it can you) mounted to an exhaust o2 sensor that will give good indication on how its going during driving im going to put one in my car, hooked up through the e11v2 though. your car would/should be fine but have terible fuel economy tho

go call Toshi, spend that O2 Wideband money on a remap that's actually worth something!

thats the shot i was just thinking for piece of mind for him. but if more mods are on the way than dont bother go get a ecu best thing i ever did aside from a turbo.

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
