New Cobb Tune With Boost Control - Getting It Today


Recommended Posts

Munro, attached is your dyno graph -

Holds good boost to the top of the rev range using the new RPM based WGDC control system, and from the logging we were seeing you are starting to get marginal on injector flow hence 1.0 bar at 6500rpm is about the limit of boost you would want for good durability and this fuel system setup :)

In metric speak your GTR went from 281.7awkw (stock tune Willall midpipe) to 333.3awkw with the new custom tuning. Thats 18% gain (51awkw), which is highly noticeable, and useable without any spikes in the midrange, and no sharp boost taper in the top end ;)

This kind of figure - 333awkw - on a Mainline dyno is extremely impressive from such a simple setup - Midpipe and Tune :D

That is a fantastic result. Cant wait to pick it up & try it out.

That is a huge gain from just a tune. What amazing cars they are.

My XR6 Turbo ute has had untold thousands spent on it with built engine etc

& is making 330 rwkw so to be able to make the same power with slightly

smaller engine with just tuning is bloody awesome.

Looks like we wont need to worry about the bigger actuators till I upgrade

the turbochargers! Will enjoy having fun with it like this for a while I think.

Well done guys. Will post up my thoughts after driving the car.

Ok. Lets meet at the bottom of the South Eastern Freeway.

Stock Turbs Vs Bigger Turbs (+ Carbon). Say.... early Sun morning?

C U there around 7am. Should make Murray bridge by 7.25

HaHa I bloody wish........... how about a sedate cruise out to the

trackday on Monday instead?

Will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the results Munro. My current tune (distinct from yours) comes on with a massive rush. So whilst it's "bad" when driving in anger at the track (it induces wheelspin if you run VDC on) it's actually quite exciting for the street, provided you dont go too nuts. A bit rollercoaster like. A more progressive application of power may not be as "exciting" though. I am sure an argument will be mnade that it's better/safer for your engine (to have a more progressive application of power) but i am left wondering how entertaining it will be in comparison.

Well Duncan, the word "Entertaining" and the name "Munro" mean the same thing over here in SA . . . even with no tune and no midpipe . . . Munro made that 35 of his both Quick & Entertaining with his driving "Prowess" . . . for the want of a better word.

Now, back on subject. . . bloody tidy work there M . . . I am getting itchy feet . . .

Well Duncan, the word "Entertaining" and the name "Munro" mean the same thing over here in SA . . .

LOL! I am sure it's great/entertaining regardless. I'll need one of these more linear tunes too in the near future, looking forward to it.

Linear is the right word, although it seems to have a bigger push in the back & still keep pulling to the top.

Only had a short run in traffic yesterday, but have day off today & will get up in the hills & do some "testing".

Graeme, just like Ice Cube says........Do it Do it Do it... yeah baby put that tune into it...

& dont forget the midpipe for a longer & stronger performance!

Hey Dan, long time! Yes it is like a different car. A friend who has driven a couple of std ADMs & wasn't that impressed drove mine today & was blown away. It just feels a lot stronger everywhere. The GTR had the std Cobb stg 2 tune before but Willalls new custom tune is much stronger & the power does not "drop away" like before.

On the gear changes it gives a big shove in the back so I dont see how it is softer on the trans!

Keir has been giving his white R35 a real hard time for thousands of kays & hundreds of laps at Mallala without any

trans problems so I am quite confident to drive the pants of mine & really enjoy this car.

R35 + midpipe + custom Cobb tune = Awesome Machine.

Come on all you std ADMs & JDMs out there......... do it do it do it.

You won't have to water your money tree much for these mods - for the dollars vs gain it is a total bargain.

Any Adelaide owners that are not sure are welcome to drive mine & compare.

What would be a more significant comparison than the graph of stock V Willall custom tune with new software would be a comparison of Cobb Stage 2 v New Custom Tune.

Also - there's been no mention of any change in the "boost spike" at gear change with the new system.

The beauty of this Duty Cycle vs RPM wastegate mapping is the removal of the 'spike' that plauges the original Nissan air flow load mapping. Instead of seeing 0.4 bar overboost on wide open throttle upshifts (old way) you will see 0.1bar overboost (new way). In other words you can run higher boost higher in the rev range, without overdoing it in the middle :P

I am loving this new tune. Ran my best ever time at Mallala on Mon 5th at Time Attack - 1.15.8

Very responsive & pulls cleanly to redline. I am very happy with it.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
