Fair enough

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

but never mind thanks anyway

All good!

As mentioned in PM, im pretty sure im at my upper limit RE: SAFC tune. As from that point on, no matter what we did with timing/airflow adjustments, it never got any better. Seemed to be the sweet spot. And id rather fiddle with it on the dyno if you were to forward a bit of info. And i wont be spending any more on it untill i can afford /ask the mrs if its ok/etc etc, to buy a G4 :D

GotRice? is all about the US imports :blush:

So you're going to skip the GTSLink idea?

Te he he. Too Troo!

Not entirely... maybe just a G4 GTS link :D If i go with what Keith said, getting the later one would be a better way to go.

Speaking of.. can he get them?

Fair enough

If you're in Sydney, I can have a play with your SAFC for free and get the A/F to what you want. I used to run the older SAFC in my 180SX.

But saying that, I've hopped on the band wagon and am running a power FC

Its cool mate thank you but my cars not even in the country.

I have info given to me from Apexi regarding settings for different states of tune plus other setting from other cars set up on dyno

I just thought i could help but its all sorted via pm

Thanks

I would say speak to Dan first. Adrian is going G4, as well as possibly others :D There could end up being a group buy, so don't go running off without consulting TLR HQ.

I am quietly horrified at peoples reliance on S-AFCs, and even more so the whole "Base numbers to work from" concept. If someone made a robotic arm designed to give cut-throat shaves, but having it hard coded to suit the face of the guy who created it - a base to work with as most people have roughly the same looking face... would you use it?

Much the same thing, except your engine is the one who gets pwnt.

something to start with would be simple bending the signal around 5% under full load if you have a standard ecu with more boost. but if you cant figure that much out for yourself you really shouldnt be playing with it

So you're saying do this regardless of knock or AFRs? And you're saying who shouldn't really be playing with it...?

5% is no where near enough to make it too lean when running higher boost. standard ecu AFR's dip into the 10s under full load most of the time, even if it was holding 11.5:1 5% correction would bring it up to 12:1. even 12.5:1 isnt gonna hurt a standard motor. same goes for timing, 5% would move it up 1 row tops, worst case scenario you'll end up in knock maps which barely have enough timing to run, let alone knock.

of couse you'd atleast use premium if you were going to do it.

Did you read my posts?????

    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
