from what I've read to keep the pistons cool, the quicker than move about the more friction & heat it will cause right?

richening up the tune up the top will keep the pistons/rings/ring lands in tack but this sacrifices power output.

and from what toshi has said before and after cat, yes there is a difference, I've had my car on a dyno and the A/Fs were different to what my wideband was reading (pre cat).

Most tuners are save time/money by tuning at the exhaust tip, but I don't believe that's the best way to do it.

I personally have pumped in extra timing after MBT, for my old setup it was around 5600rpm, and the timing for row 17 read something like

Row vs Timing 10/13 11/13 12/13 14/13 15/14 16/14 17/15 18/11 19/11 20/11

did you heck this on a dyno to see if it made an improvement?

im puttin my car on the rollers tonight to see how my street tuning is going, ill try add some timing after MBT and will also richen it up slightly there too.

ill post my results later

I always ask for AFR 11.5 when I go to get a tune. It always comes out at 12.0 or higher. No idea why tuners insist on running leaner for a few percent power and end up with higher temps if you ever use it on the track or highway.

everyone has their different opinions. your workshop might think you've read something on the net and just because of that insist on 11.5. so they ignore you and go with what they think is best.

i'll be doing a little experimenting with afr's and timing when i get my car going. mainly gonna try using a little extra fuel in cells that occasionally knock, but not enough to drop a full degree of timing

(Well the aussies general rule is to tune rbs to a full load afr of 12 and then tweak ign timing to suit for max power where as the japs throw in a shit load of fuel eg 10.5-10.0(keeping in mind that their pump is 100+) and then throw in a shit load of timing on top of that..)

one might say your question is, do you want a sas tune or a crd tune. both very good but both very differant.

what the main reason behind richening it up after what i assume is peak torque?

im guessing just to cool it down a little?

do you add more timing in during the enrichment after 6500RPM

this rb25 has a very big turbo and stock head. it does not make decent power untill around 6k. thats why its like that. to keep it cool when its on heat.

and from what toshi has said before and after cat, yes there is a difference, I've had my car on a dyno and the A/Fs were different to what my wideband was reading (pre cat).

Yes because your $300 wide band is just as good as the Autronic Wide Bands they use on Dyno's. That makes this test very accurate and relevant.

Had a look the other day at one of our "better" tuners on a stock turboed Rb26, 1bar and pfc

From the word go ie. low rpm coming into boost he set afrs to 10.8 to 10.9 all the to limiter...when asked why he said it makes more torque that way

Is it that he is just playing it safe or is he just plain lazy to tweak the timing from the off to on boost transition, from which i understand is a little tricky to get perfect in that area???

At the end of the day it made 360rwhp(dynojet), knock was no higher than 20 and this is on 95 ron

Guilt toy mentioned richen it up on top because of the shit fuel.....u guys would not have a problem as u run 98 but we here with our best being 95 i think the only other way to add some knock resistance it to richen it up a bit....we have an excuse....still not sure about the japs :thumbsup:

I see if a can get the tune for u guys to have a look

They did design and build the cars and have many very fast RB's!!!
where are you exactly? as 95 in the US is the same as 98 in Oz

Nah....not in the US

Our 95 is shit....although running it with the base pfc map at 11psi on the 26 still not produce more than 25-30 knock...Strange!?!

Edited by Don Dada

maybe it is equiv to our 98

ours are labelled RON, US is labelled (RON+MON)/2 i believe.

RON is more of a controlled test rating, whereas MON is tested in more 'real world' conditions i guess you could say.

so what country are you in?

where i am there is no liablility. so the guys working / own the fuel stations can chuck in 100 litres of water into the 98 octane tank to make some extra bucks blow up 200 cars and get away with it without having to pay a cent! if you asked for money they would just laugh at you.

I get soo paranoid that I listen to my engine with k-mon when i change fuel stations just in case they are doing the dodge.

lol you do realise that they get randomly audited for things like that.

LOL my bad, I'm surprised you don't end up with kerosene in your tank half the time!

who knows what they put in there, but there is one fuel station that sells good fuel here, and it has a very very very strong smell.. even stronger then race fuels i have seen.. do not know what additives they are putting inside it.

Yeh i know the difference.....Definitely 95 ron and i'm as far as u can go south on the Caribbean chain :D

We got some fast shit here too....stuff from Trial, Signal etc and some good local projects too....but they dont seem to last very long >_<

i seen a few import when i was in the carribean a few weeks back.

I get soooo exited everytime I see a 'tuned' import in Sint'Maartin, BVI's, St Kitts, Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica etc... even the Dominican Rep.

My 5000hp MTU's just don't cut it in a big ass superyacht!

Ah man I missssss my GTR!

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
