I got rid of the nasty flat spot !!!

I don't know how for sure, but read on.......

After a recent round of simple mods, I took the car in to see if everything was on track and OK.

Just a bit of background.

Used same dyno. First (lower) run don in winter on a 16 degree day, second was done on a 32-33 degree day. Dyno was run in NON shootout mode, in 4th gear.

Difference between first run and second run was a highflow cat, an adjustable exh cam gear set at 3 degrees retarded, and a different rear muffler.

Plus the ECU was out of the car for a day prior, so it would have reset itself.

Full mods are very simple, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, 12psi boost (see attached sheet) highflow panel filter in stock box, FMIC, adj exh cam gear. Stock ECU, Stock turbo.

The thing I am most happy with is that for reasons unknown I have got rid of the flat spot that most other R33 GTS-t's get. I'm still running the same ECU... The only thing I can see is maybe (and it's a big maybe) it was cause the ECU was reset the night before..

Getting rid of the flatspot has gained me about 35rwkw in the mid range !!!! VERY happy with that.... Up top it's about 10rwkw gained, but it's much smoother.

I might wind the boost up a little cause it's dropping off at the top (see attached) due to the wastegate creeping open at high RPM's.....

The next step for me is programmable ECU.. :P

Open to comments :D

Anyway, too much crapping on, have a look for yourself....

I was actually pretty happy with the A/F ratios on the second run (the green line).

They stick to 12:1 which is just about perfect, then drop to about 11.2:1 after about 4500rpm.

I could get a SAFC to lean it up above 4500rpm, but there wouldn't be much in it. I think there would be bigger gains in being more aggressive in the timing. But sadly we don't have much control (almost zero control) over the timing.

I did adjust the base timing from 15 degrees to 17 degrees and there was absolutley no difference in the runs which supprised me..... Maybe I should've gone to 20 degrees or something ??

What sorta power were you making before these mods ?

You know, that giant flat spot looked exactly the same on my SR20DET. Im pretty sure it was because the ECU was pulling timing at that particular point. After a ECU reset and resetting the timing, it never came back again...

Also that extra power came mostly from the leaner AFRs I believe.

Oh btw, you Skyline guys must have quite a shorter diff and 4th gear. On the rollers, my car goes pretty close to 165kmh in 3rd gear!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm If i put a skyline diff in my car... *GRIN*

Steve - Yepp, I think your right, better flowing uptop is helping things.

Busky2k - I'm supprised that a reset got rid of the flat spot !! If it comes back again you know what I'll be doing :D BTW: 2nd gear goes to ~105km/h, 3rd gear only goes to ~140km/h, and 4th tops out just before 180km/h, so the gearing is fairly close...

RB20LagWagon, the S14 is definitely not 4.1 dood.

The auspec workshop manual clearly states its 3.692 to be precise! Perhaps the JSpec ones are 4.1?!

Jay95R33, what are the ratios of your gearbox? I'll state what the S14 one is;

1st- 3.32 (~65kmh)

2nd- 1.90 (~113 kmh)

3rd- 1.31 (~ 163 kmh, everyone ive dragged always shift into 4th way before I do)

4th- 1.00 (no idea, never gone that far, but it hits the limiter on the dyno)

A skyline diff would do wonders on the strip in this car I reckon....

Btw, Im suprised a reset worked aswell, but I also reset the timing at the same time, as it was like 5 deg overadvanced. I think that was what really fixed it. Btw, I believe you have to disconnect the TPS during idle to get the true base timing.

Not sure on the gearbox ratios for a R33 GTS-t. If it helps any I've got a stock gearbox and the diff runs the stock 4.11 ratio.

Hmm, the first run I did yesterday with my old ECU didn't have the dip, and that was before we advanced the timing to 17 degrees. So in my case I think it may have been just the reset that got rid of the dip... Not sure...

Wierd how advancing the timing did nothing. The CAS is definatly rotated more than it was before, and at idle it showed the increase in base timing, just didn't do anything on the dyno run...

At 15 degrees and 17 degrees the two power lines were sitting right over each other.

I suppose that it's good that the car can pull off a few full power runs and not loose even 1rwkw :D:D Nice and consistant power, even on a 33 degree day ! :D

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
