Hi guy's today I finally got my Rb30/26 base tuned. It had been run in for around 700miles so was more than ready! As I had some fluffy running issues during the run in period I decided to get a base tune done with the stock pump and AFM's to make sure it was all running clean prior to swapping AFM's and more than likely the pump for my future plans. After some minor tweaks richen up the map off boost and load the running issues were all pretty sorted so we went for a couple of power runs starting at 6psi wastegate boost to give the car some initial runs up to 6500rpm. Once happy with that the boost was increase to 0.8bar and some further tweaks were made. At this point the Stock MAF's were pretty much maxed out so I called it a day but here is what I ended up with so far.

I think the rpm scale is wrong so ignore that. It was revving just short of 6500rpm. The power shown is flywheel power and it equated to 324bhp at the rear wheels I was hoping for a touch more but then I had planned to run it up to 6750rpm initially then I got a bit nervous!

The engine is running HKS step1 cams with adjustable pullies so I am hoping to dial the power ban back a touch to make better use of the cams when I go for the final tune. The 660cc sard injectors are happily run at about 60% duty at the moment. Whether or not I need to put a slightly larger pump in remains to be seen.. Anyone have any clues as to how much wheel power a stock gtr pump can hold on an RB30?

Knock levels are max 28 at the moment but then boost is still relatively low. We tried to fiddle with the ignition timing a bit but it made no significant gains at the current boost so we left it as it was .

I plan to drive it as is for a couple of weeks and make sure I am happy with it all then I will put on my larger MAF's and pump if need be and go back for a final tune taking the rpm up to 6750 limit. Maybe a little higher. I am hoping I can get into mid 500's flywheel power but not sure I will get there yet? My tuner on the other hand seems pretty confident!

If anyone has any thoughts on my printout let me know. Wouldn't mind comparing with what other people have made on the same boost and similar setup?

Sorry i missed your build thread - what is your set up? Turbos, ecu? How does your chart show flywheel hp - have you pulled the motor out and put it on a bench dyno? If your pump is the original stocker progbably good idea to at leat get a new Denso equivalent. For comparisons check out http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/104332-rb30-hybrid-upgrade-all-dyno-results/ and be sure to post yours in there when you have your max boost results!

Hi There,

I am on a single turbo and Apexi ECU, HKS Step 1 cams and 660 sard injectors. Stock pump art present. and Stock MAF's. The print out I got from the dyno was the estimated flywheel one rather than the actual wheel power we saw on the day.

Cheers for the link.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
