thanks to Dale's effort in getting me the swaybars etc i've now got them in but im going to have to spend some time tweaking it, although its nice and firm ive had to back the shock's down and now i think im goin to have bigger prolblems with bottoming out in dips etc.

ahwell thats the fun part i guess trying to find the settings to make it handle nice allround.

not much to update atm but i am getting my rims repaired after an altercation with a roundabout island which i lost LOL i swear it jumped out at me

and still waiting on my new bonnet and rear chassis brace.

still wondering if i should bother putting the F-con in yet.......... it would help because i am getting a fair bit of overfueling especially seeing at the BOV is venting to astmosphere and on gear change / lift of throttle i get some good backfires :)

Nice one! Let me know how you go!

My harness is on its way back and I'll be getting it tuned as soon as my EVC6 turns up... Want to replace the factory solenoid before tuning.

Here we go current mod's to date.

Power Duct and BMC Airfilter, Scotty's Dump Pipe, Fully Custom 3" Stainless Steel Xforce Exhaust, Phenolic Intake Spacer, HDi Intercooler, Turbosmart Dual port BOV, Dale's custom 2.5" Sutcion Pipe and Scotty's Wastegate Actuator.

Weird graph with the converter locking up on the original run and staying locked up after, did you cut any wires or is that a result of playing with settings?

How does she drive anyway? I'm sure you feel the torque drop off after 5k... Time for a highflow? :whistling:

still need to find out why im dropping off on boost, its ever since i changed all the vacuum hoses ahwell im happy any way might save the turbo a bit longer

Boost will always drop off a little due to the pressure in the manifold skyrocketing and blowing the puck open, the spring only helps so much. Do you have a controller?

the graphs are different at the bottom due to different throttle application.

we disconnected the manual boost T and are running it straight from the BOV to the Wastegate.

its a bit hard to describe but u can feel the extra power but overall the car is alot tamer than before, its very strong down low and very driveable on the freeway.

the car just sounds healthier has a nice crisp note to it now and damn does that suction pipe make some noise!!!

the cars just so different to drive i'll have to see how it goes over the next few weeks (mainly only use it on the weekend)

anyways just finished mounting the computer in the dash so gonna go out and drive it!!!!!!

ohh and no i havent got any extra sensor's they'll go on once i do the highflow etc etc

i'll probly only get the map/temp sensor and look into wiring up a EGT.

Nice Theo.

Glad you find it nice and smooth to drive. You'll have some fun at the drags I think. A programmable boost controller will take care of that drop off. Does the ECU have that function?

Are you still running off the AFM sensor? What Volts did you get up to?

Did you get a chance to over lay with my 3rd gear pull?

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
