ok

Just completed getting a major service, new brakes, fitting a bov and getting a full 3 inch exhaust system.

I am now ready to have my ecu chipped and have the car tuned properley.

My current way of boost control is a greddy under bonnet dial. ( still debating on changing to electronic control, but thats another thread ).

My question is this:

Lets say the car is tuned with the boost pressure at say 1.3 BAR and is running perfectly. If I decide to turn the boost pressure down to say 1.0 or 0.8 BAR will it still be in " tune "? As in will timing and a/f ratios still be spot on? Could it still detonate? I understand turning it up might not be recomended as detonation would be more likely but if the ceiling pressure is 1.3 BAR is anything lower going to still be spot on or will it only be at its most optimum efficiency at the pressure its tuned at?

Hi Guys, the Power FC mapping has a boost correction table, so you can tune it for any number of boost levels. When you think about it, that has to be the case, otherwise you would have to drive around at the one boost level all the time. We all know that doesn't happen.

Other tunable ECU's are exactly the same, even a chipped standard ECU would have a boost correction table.

Hope that answered FATGTSR's question.

Hi Emre, yes the AFM is relevant but you can have different airflows at the same boost. For example 4,000 rpm at 1.5 bar might be the same airflow as 6,000 rpm at 1 bar. So the ECU uses both, plus of course throttle position, rpm, lambda, engine temp, etc etc. The ECU processes them all and uses the appropriate map.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.

      Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
