I should have gone E-Manage and don't listen to sales bullshit again!!!

All else fails I will sell the Haltech or burn it.

Well the Haltech option is "off" my list of things to do. .

Fcon fz ftw!

but it appears they also use the ksrom like what Scott wants to do.. (i always wondered why they used two computers to run the car properly.)

thanks for clearing that up

What conclusions have you come to Craig?

I have issues with my ecu also as the throttle lag is bloody dangerous. Im hoping to find a spare ecu in japan and ship it to KSrom for a chip. From what ive read they have fixed the lag and im guessing the airflow r&r issue. As they are so cheap, they are possibly the best option if you already have a copgyback,(cant write p*ig? totalitarian website developers!) at least untill someone here cracks the ecu.

There are quite a few companies in Japan that do remaps/custom maps.

Yes KS seem to be the cheapest, but there is also Nismo, TEPS and "G-Zone" that spring to mind immediately although I cannot recall the others at this moment.

They ALL get rid of the 25% throttle <2800rpm among other things.

1. Checked with the dyno guy to see that he had clamped the voltage on the signal from the airflow meter. - Done

2. Checked this is even worth going ahead with by doing a long trip to see wether fuel consumption was better - Done

3. Have tried dropping the boost all the way back to 7PSI.....still has the same problem just with less power. - Done

4. Cleaned airflow meter, throttle body and fliter - Done

5. Need to find someone to make up a bigger airflow meter unit to reduce the voltage and see wether that work....will have to go back on the dyno though.

6. Go down to VIC one day and see wether Cihan can fix.

8. Suggestions ...... I will try anything

All else fails I will sell the Haltech or burn it.

Suggestion #1 - Get a decent tuner for the Haltech. I have heard that JEM and Autotech are pretty good. Do CRD tune Haltech's?

Suggestion #2 - If none of these guys can fix your tune... rip the f**kin' thing out and get either an eManage (road trip down here for tune) or Fcon V and get it tuned in Sydney.

If you decide to go with #2, I would look into the FCON first, although both Cihan (eTuner) and Trent (Status Tuning) are damn good tuners and probably worth the 8hr drive.

Any aftermarket ecu should be able to give you a good tune. The difference between them will be things like ease of use, fineness of adjustment (number of mapping points) computing power, useful life etc. A grunty top shelf ecu will be able to give a super tune - any ecu should be able to provide an adequate tune. If its giving you a crap tune then blame the tuner - in other words find another one. He should be able to make it run properly and tell you if anything is needed to make it run better - e.g. new afm, bigger injectors.

+1

hell, once mine is tuned next friday on the dyno (AEM F/IC-8 & S15 injectors) I'll be toying with the tune myself, laptop

will fit a lambda sensor + guage, and road tune to buggery

=)

You guys know this how? Ive had my car on the dyno for close to 6 hours and only got it partially tuned. The M35 ecu is a lot more complex than you think, and since it controls the throttle, it has ultimate control, even though the Emanage controls injectors and spark.

If its so easy, why hasnt it been done yet?

its because its a copgy-back and they are never as good as a full remap. i THINK with a ksrom,gzone blah blah + emanage or a decent copgy back will be the best IMO.

well, frankly, from ALL research, the AEM F/IC-8 is the best copgyback you can possibly buy, better than the emanage ultimate simply thru the sheer size of the tune scope.

ie 3 different overseeing controls, 22x17 pc mapping x 3, for air:fuel, ign.timing & injector duty.

get a remapped ecu and add in the F/IC-8 or a Emanage Ultimate (same price, emanage is widely known, but the f/ic seems pretty awesome - looks easy enough to self tune with the AEM Wideband kit)

and you'll be laughing !

currently with the remap S1 c34 + safc/sitc got 240rwkw, not a bad tune at all... but with the remap s1 c34 + f/ic-8 copgyback + s15 injectors I expect a much better result.

throw on a wideband kit, save the logs of your drive, and tune to your hearts content :(

Yerrp remap for sure! no need to have all this other copgy back business going on.

if my gtr's motor wasnt near completion i'd buy that m35 tomorrow at pickles. and go thru the process of doing it..

i think i'm about to get buttt raped ;)

Agreed... IF you live in Sydney... and IF you are not modding after the remap!

(unless back and forth interstate trips sound enjoyable)

I wouldnt mind if the price was right. I would still run the emanage for fuel adjustment and multiple maps. Of course I dont think they were looking at the throttle issue were they?

Sounds like the best setup for we "Mexican's"

Don't think is was well known then... but I am sure SAS will be made aware of it.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -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.
