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 . . .

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.

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
