Hey tommmo hows the motor going its been a few weeks since last update did she start up alright? Keen to hear the news.

well the good news is, the car has got a sweet running heart again!

the bad news is.. ive been sooo busy over the last 2 weeks, i've only had time to drive it home... thats it!! :unsure:

keen to take it out this sunday, and then due for a proper tune up friday week

got home after work last night and just couldnt help myself.. picked up the keys and went for a nice drive to hahndorf

I must say Paul has done a fantastic job :3some: its very quiet and smooth..... until I put my foot down and you hear its growl via the exhaust.

I had the biggest, cheesiest grin on my face driving back down the hill.

Cannot wait until the tune next week!!!

Coming home along portrush rd, I saw headlights speeding towards me in my rearview, I automatically thought "great.. gonna get pulled over and harrased by the po-po first night out" turned out to be an fpv, he pulled up next to me.. revving whilst driving side by side, trying to get my attention.

I didn't respond, douche then floored it, lost traction and almost lost it.. friggin idiot! Where's the police when you need them?

The popo are where you don't need them and when you need them they take 30mins to an hour

On the other note. Good to hear that your car is back up and running again mate :D

picked my r32 up to start running-in last thursday, only driven it home so far

but was amazed at how strong the fresh Rb26 engine felt.

definately a heap more power than my Rb25

even with only steel-wheel rebuilt turbo's the power/punch is pretty brutal.

hoping to get out for a few days driving (running-in) soon. then can get back to boostworx for the tune

  • 3 weeks later...

Updates?

Few things came up (not car related), hasn't been tuned yet.

Its at the workshop:

Injectors installed

Fuel Pump installed

AFMs installed

PFC installed

Ready to rock'n'roll!!

tuner is away until friday though, will hopefully have a result then.

Not entirely happy with the tune.. Terrible on cold starts, need to turn ignition over twice before it starts, when it does, timing is all retarded and drives sluggish.

A lot better when it warms up, but still a bit hesitant when just cruising along at 2500rpm. Not sure if this has something to do with the larger injectors? When foot is 3/4 or flat on the throttle, it does pull very smoothly.

I'd like to see final boost setting around 22psi and lean it out a bit more, noticed it's chewing through petrol pretty quickly at the moment!

John does know what he's doing..

you're right.... i've been going there for a few years now, he's always been good.

Might give him another crack at it, just give him a de-brief of how its responding on the road etc

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
