i just got car back from auto works i got 2 new same garret 2860-5 put on cause i blew one up

he put it on dyno at wangara autoworks WA and he tuned it to make less power and alot less responsive

still making same boost etc (20 psi)

motor roughly done 30 ooo kms

basically i think he richened it up alot maybee to much ????????

i was making 421 before when old same turbos were on

and now making like 410 with not much punch like it did have before

all this info below is off add and im wanting to know roughly how much power could this car make with 20 psi ?

CP Pistons

JUN Oil Pump

SARD 700cc Injectors

N1 Water Pump

Oil Drain Added To The Rear Off The Head Back To The Sump

TOMIE Oil Feed Restrictors

TOMIE Sump Baffles

HKS Adjustable Cam Gears

After Market Radiator,

After Market Cooler Piping And Radiator Hoses,

Nismo Airflow Meters,

K&N Panel Filter In Standard Airbox

New O2 Sensors

Huge 600x300x120mm Intercooler

RECENT RETUNE USING NISSTUNE 03/06/09

341rwkw on 18 psi now, on a safe tune

DYNO PAPERS PROVIDED

410HP on -5's with a built 26 ?

Mate your probably a good 100 - 150 hp down on what you can produce.

What exhaust system are you running ?

go to the 26 dyno thread sticky.

Look at all the cars with -5's for an indication of where you should be.

thats what i thought he said he didnt want to lean on it to much ?????? like the motor is built and still has plenty of life ........

i am disapointed in the performance differance who would be a good place to take it to in wa ? has anyone delt with autoworks dont get me wrong he is a nice bloke and he knows his shit but i think i can make more power than 410 hp safetly with my motor dont u think ...

im off it hey f**king thing made more power slightly before but needed a tune and now get a tune and it makes less power to rich i rekon ??????n i am also running 20 PSI SHOULD I BUMP IT UP A BIT TO SEE IF IT MAKES A DIFF ?

WITH SAME NEW TURBOS I MIGHT ADD

ALSO AN IMPORTANT QUESTION HAS ANYONE HAD THROTTLE STICK ON THERE 32 GTR MINE DOES IT EVERY NOW AND THEN ERY SCARY FOOT GOES TO FLOOR HAVE TO TURN KEY OFF ONE CLICK AND PUMP ACCELERATOR AND ITS GOOD TO GO AGAIN ??

IT HAS FAIRLY HEAVY SPRINGS ON THROTTLE I DONT UNDERSTAND PEDAL FEELS SMOOTH WHEN PUSHED ??

Post up the dyno sheet and we can see if its too rich.

Tuners can be in a hard position because if they push things too hard and something fails they get a bad name. Although he really should listen to you and see what you want to do.

Not sure what your talking about in the second half of your post??

no i dont have boost plots but before 20 psi now 18 -19 psi

what do you rekon about it ?

Interesting that the leaner dyno result made a heap less power?? Must have had a lot less timing.

What exhaust do you have on it?

I think its worth going back to the tuner and saying your not happy with it. That way you can see if he can get more power out of it or there is a restriction somewhere. You really need to let the tuner know what your expecting. The tuner might have noticed temps starting to increase and so left the tune there. He probably thinks your happy with it until you tell him.

Umm... Just to be clear ....

Are you attempting to pick a 10hp difference (or less than 3% difference) between two different dynos at two different workshops? Presumably on two different days?

Whatever the numerical difference, there were have to be a whole lot of change in the power delivery to pick it up using the "seat of the pants" dyno as well.

Did you say anything about it to Alistair? I would talk to Alistair, see why he stopped there. If you have an exhaust restriction then it was possibly building up a lot of heat and making less power when he tried to put more into it. Or if he simply had no idea what had been done to your engine then he may have stopped for safety.

That power curve doesn't look right to me, what causes that? I've seen a similar graph where it was caused by valve float, and another one where the suspected cause was a leaking wastegate. Surprised nobody has commented on it yet...

i think it has 3 inch exhaust on it i talked to tuner he said leave it for couple of weeks make sure everything runs smoothly then he said we can talk about more power but surely i can make more power than 410 hp safetly with that motor and turbos ?

has anyone had the accelerator prob sticking ?

    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
