Before you all jump on the band wagon and get upset about the numbers, for me the peak is irrelevant. So lets pretend its normal and just look at the lines.

As RB25DET's on our dynapack hub dynos give more or less similar readings.

One more thing to point out, it was run in 3rd gear because it was hitting speed cut. Both the lower, and upper were run in third, and the torque works out to be around 353nm :blink:

SkylineDyno217001.jpg

So what im wanting to know, is what is the flat spot in the curve? And the drop in the curve on the lower line?

The upper line is after a light SAFC2 tune and about 5" advance across the whole rev range. So there was a definite improvement from around 4200rpm up, and it improved the dip.. if you can call it that.

Would this be the AFM maxing out? or could it be something else?

Mods are

Stock turbo running R32 actuator boost.

3.75inch Turbo back

FMIC

Apexi Pod ( lower line had stock airbox and Apexi Panel so more proof pods do jack shit :P )

Any ideas would be nice.

Thanks!

stock ecu gayness, just what it does with more than standard boost. some people say you have to be running 12+psi, but realistically its different in every application and it comes down to overall airflow. this is my dyno grap when i had a stock ecu, not how as it started pulling timing the boost rose which had a snowball effect and made the ecu pull even more timing

Nistune is not available for your car unless you swap out the ecu for a Z32 or similar. EFI can chip your ecu but you really need to have your car there for the tune. From the "what ecu" thread below:

ok i have a price from NZEFI ( which is a good performance shop in Christchurch )

They put a re map board and chip and tune it for $987.50,

or Shred in Wgn are Link agents!!

Ok sweet so its relatively normal with the stock ecu :down:

The SAFC cost me $250NZD and i installed it myself. Tune was done by a friend of a friend who has a Dynapack at his house. Cost $300NZD. We played around with it for a goo 4+ hours trying different timing and fuelling so it was worth the cost for me.

The plan is to get a G4 in the future to cover any sillyness that might occur :P

I'd have one now, but i had to decide between whether making the mrs hate me or having a mint running car. So ill have 5 days of sun on the beach ir Rarotonga to dream about what could have been LOL!

5 days of Sun in May?? we have had a few days of sun over here but I doubt 5 days, and still not warm enough to hit up the beach :)

do you not have a wideband? You really need one to be honest the safc and or neo should be able to sort that blip out though if you have a mild tune say stage one. What do you mean when you say you tryied different fuelling? the SAFC or NEO are Air Flow Controllers you can not adjust duty cycle of injectors.

can you let me have you settings i might be able to help. are you useing 8 point or 16 point correction map

unfortunately the std ecu has a huge dip in the ignition value on higher load areas of the map (R34 is worse) and your safc can do nothing about it as it only manipulates the airflow meter signal to the ecu. You need a ecu that allows ignition control.

If you follow the blue fake trace i did in paint across the r33 std ecu ignition map you will see the timing goees 26 - 22 -16 - 14 -20 - 28 and the bold timing figure give you that dip. Once tuned you smooth out these timing dips and bingo nice smooth power delivery.

Bear in mind my trace is rough and is only an example it wont correlate exactly to your rpm scale as i dont know the exact ecu model in your car and the timing scales are slightly different between ecu releases but the underlying issue is as described above.

We used a wideband, the AFRs looked fine there - Status' comment about timing explains a lot.

Cheers Status, that was very interesting! Strangely enough, my Skyline never did the same thing - however I don't believe I reached the airflow levels GotRice? is.

Gotrice? - lol.

Yeah if you can hold it one load point lower (where yours probably was) it will make more power and no dip :3some:

the trick is to increase the boost until the dip appears then back it off and tune the safc there.... it will generally make more power on less boost.

Sorry i didnt mean fuelling i meant airflow :)

It was tuned on a dyno as stated, so yes there was a wideband present ;)

And Status, x2, that was interesting. Need to get me that G4!

Harey - Your in Raro? Theres no sun?? :3some:

I no each car is different i was hoping to help you and others further just need base figures to work with

Its been well established that its nothing to do with AFRs - Status posted up what the timing does at the rpm GotRice? had issues, and the S-AFC does not allow adjustments to timing and his AFRs were stable and sensible anyway so getting all bound up on S-AFC settings is creating a red herring.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
