Not what I did to my stagea, but more what I did WITH it..

On the way to nightwars (a summer drag racing series), threw sparks all over everyone elses cars, popped a couple cats eyes out of the road and now all I can smell is hot metal... Flexi in the exhaust looks worse for wear and so does the rear tow hook... Might need to raise it. :(

Don't do it!:spank: As an extension to the "Don't buy wheels that fit the car; make the car fit the wheels" ethos; I propose a "Make the road suit your ride height" solution.

You just need to keep frequenting the roads you use; until you've worn a groove them all to suit your ride height, no more clearance issues.

Anything still grinding will eventually be worn away; consider these items "Surplus to requirement" Problem solved.:thumbsup:

You're welcome.:whistling:

ok this is what i found............. so basically its a wait of money.

Anyreason these won't work for our cars?

They will not remove our restriction.

Ask Scott when you see him next how well it worked in that regard.

If I read the old discussions properly though, Mines wouldn't remove the throttle restriction.

I figure we're not going to get a flash that does everything we want, but a flash that removes the speed limiter and throttle restriction and gives us 80-90% of what we want is fine with me. And when I want that remaining 10-20%, I can get an emanage knowing that the two main areas it can't fix are sorted from the flash.

Mines completely remap the entire throttle map... does that mean they remove the restriction? Buggered if I know.

I asked them directly if they remove the restriction below 3000rpm and they replied "we do not", but they did state that they do remap the entire throttle map up to their normal 7100rpm (they will go higher, but issue a warning of "please consider engine safety").

I think your plan of the Gzone + emanage is almost as good as it gets.

came across this whilst searching ebay for other stuff.................... thoughts ???

Throttle Controller

Yes, a waste of money IMO. You'd be better off spending the $350 on real mods to improve the throttle response. Did you see the claim:

Enhances throttle response OR fuel saving of up to 20% ? I suppose 2% is 'up to 20%'....

new o2 sensor today

was hoping to pull the pins out of the old plug and swap it over, turns out the neo plug has slightly smaller pins :(

3 crimp joiners later and i was away, i think the old sensor was ok but for ~$70 it should help on the way back up to qld

also half way through waxing it, so its slippery through the air ninja.gif

Installed my Walbro 250 pump in my M35 today and set up a power source direct from the battery to ensure full power to the pump at all times.

Reason for changing the pump was following the introduction of Nismo ECU, 3 inch suction pipe and spring on turbo actuator was seeing AFR being too high.

AFR's on medium throttle and below 4500rpm were all good and around 11.8-12.5 but higher rpm and more throttle saw AFR's is 13's.

So new pump fitted and now AFR's are much better at 10.7 to redline.

Now to start playing with boost again to see what the car will handle.

:rolleyes:

Hey Andy, that's a big change. Are the AFR's that rich throughout, or mainly heading towards redline?

Have to do a bit more testing to be sure but I don't think they were. Will be able to tell you more tomorrow.

Also got to get the boost controller working again and run more like 17psi.

Nice result & keen to hear what the AFRs are like after running around for a while. Mmm, more boost :thumbsup:

Hey Andy, that's a big change. Are the AFR's that rich throughout, or mainly heading towards redline?

AFR's are

off boost low RPM (0-2500) 13.5 - 14.5

Low boost mid RPM (2500-4500, up to 10psi) 12.3-12.8

High boost full throttle (4500 +, 15psi) 10.7-11.2

Quite happy with these numbers.

Andy, those AFR numbers are pretty darn good. Off boost & mid range is very close to what I'm running. Upper end of rev range / max boost is a little rich compared to what I found works best for my car, so you have a nice buffer to increase boost safely.

Did you get a look at max injector duty cycle now?

Did you get a look at max injector duty cycle now?

I knew someone would ask that...... lol

It is certainly better than on the stock pump but at redline I am getting up to 95% duty cycle but this is with AFR of 10.5 so not too worried about that.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
