Yeah well I'm after a bit of everything. If I valued economy above all else I'd lift my foot ;)

As for the speed cut, I guess it doesn't matter, I just object to having a limit. I'm weird like that.

Too bloody right!

Nobody's telling me what I can't not do... not?:nyaanyaa:

I don't NEED to go more than 171km/h, but I'd be nice to know I CAN; if I want to.

And everyone does ONE top speed run; right?:ph34r:

Don't think I'm going to beat my last TS anyway...

So how much throttle do you want on launch?

On a stall launch I get 35% throttle opening that see's 2600 rpm straight away and hold it for a couple of seconds and I get to 3000rpm and rear wheel spin. And release the throttle and off she goes.

Cheers

I know what you mean Andy, but you can't always dial it up at will, to dispose of pesky Commo's.:domokun:

I'd like minimal delay, so you can punch away from a standing start, no stall up.

You need to get the highflow and I think the ProfecB boost controller has helped with my launch.

Can't stall when cruising at 100kph and 1900rpm

Yes, it's on my extremely long list of thing to do...

Re; boost control. Is that because you can build full boost lower in the rev range?

So am I completely wasting my time looking at the G-Zone remap, and should just look at Emanage?

Well, I won't say its a waste of time. But to make the best use of the remap I'd think you really need a tune as well.

Putting in the ECU isn't going to give you an extra 50awkw...I don't think :blush:

I think Andy has an Impul ECU with pretty much all the mods done but its at around 180awkw (correct me if I'm wrong Andy). If its all tuned then you'd get a much higher figure...

To me a remap is never going to be the perfect solution. It's more for standard (or standard-ish) cars, and will usually give you more power for the same or less fuel. Except in this case where it gives you some freedoms.

Then a standalone (or in our case, everything is a piggyback) will provide the tuning necessary for your mods, depending on your level of modification.

The only reason for getting a G-Zone, by the sounds of it, is to get rid of the speed cut and throttle restriction.

No. Certainly won't be a waste of time IMO

The Impul was either a) a generic Impul map (most likely) or b) tuned for the previous owner.

It was never remapped for the mods that Andy has done.

It is possible to see a significant performance increase from a remapped ECU as long as those that remap it are aware of your mods, have a heap of experience with the model of car and, finally, are damn good at what they do.

It will never be as accurate as an in-car tune, but going from 140awkw to 190awkw on a remap with isupporting mods done would not be out of the realms of possibility.

Spot on

It would certainly be a good "First Step" though, and then E-Manage down the track if that's not enough.

For some, it might be the "little extra" they're after.

I got mine from Ebay BNIB for $500 shipped + harness for $100. I could be out by $50 but it wasn't that much more.

Well Richxz made it sound like he values economy above all else. Getting rid of the throttle restriction isn't going to help that...

And speed cut....well unless you're tracking/dragging the car, are you really going to use that? :whistling:

It's not that I value economy above all else but I do want it better because I'm paying $1.50+ for 92 ron down here! If I'm driving it hard then the economy is what it is but if I'm not then I'd like it better than what it is for such a modern engine.

E Manage works out pretty expensive for me as the car and I have to go on the boat from here to Cihan and back so it makes the G Zone more economical for me. I just hope they can give us what we want in a re-map.

Considering I went from 125awkw to 175awkw with only a high flowed turbo and an impul ecu; thats definitely not out of the realms of possibility

I think its more than possible.... mine is sitting at 215KW with sierra stage 1 highflow, exhaust and intercooler... standard ecu. Will be interesting to see what I will get with the e manage installed.

This, I like!

How much clearance around the new turbo? At least v-bands make mounting a little easier.

Your welding has really come along mate; kudos.:thumbsup:

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
