looks like somebody was up to no good with your car.

it looks like chips from the ECU? perhaps your car has been re-chipped (like powerchip).

apart from what looks like a 'bonus' it actually could be a sign of caution as you don't know what air/fuel mixture was tuned in the re-chipped computer, and knowing that is in the car, you would guess that there is a chance that your (ab)used car's engine had been properly (ab)used by the previous owner on some hills or racetracks in Japan...

Thanks rs73. The engine runs fine, have got it serviced at a couple of places that deal with the cars in Perth and they've both said it's all in good order. One of my guesses would be something like power chip but there are electronics for other stuff as well. Would be interesting to know though, because I would consider getting the ECU reflashed but obviously if it has already done there isn't much point. Could also be that the chips that correspond to these in the car are the non-stock ones or the stock ones could have been put back in. I got a powerchip for my last car and it was all good, I always use 98RON anyway.

well I had powerchip too in my old Mitsubishi Galant hatchback (SOHC) - which I think was a total waste of my money as I didn't get any noticeable performance increase out of it.

what did you expect from a SOHC Galant... enough power to pull the skin off a rice pudding?

:banana:

I wondered where I left those :dry:

555 timer and a inverter IC- has to do with the IR repeater thats in there. had a glitch with it and put a new set in there.

Yeah I wondered if it had something to do with you did Chris, thanks, mystery solved :D

rs73: Last car that I had that the powerchip went in, it was a noticeable improvement, got it from a friend and from memory he was good enough to let me try it and make him an offer, so I decided it was worthwhile but wouldn't have been if I had to pay full price for it new (maybe $250 vs $550?)

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
