It's funny how nothing seems easy on the M35. Maybe we should be all driving C34's :laugh: .

I'm now considering this a challenge and will pursue it to it's completion, be it successful or not. With knowledge comes (power?) the ability to find solutions to other needs/wants/problems that may crop up in the future, plus I love to learn.

It has also occured to me that if I have the ability to open the throttle a little more at say 20% (where I sit most of the time on the freeway) it will make the engine more efficient. If, as a byproduct of this, it reduces the injector pulse width with no or little change to cam timing I could have a sweet spot set up for a lean cruise mode. The point being, even if I'm not 100% successful in beating the throttle restriction above 80%, there could be an indirect benefit of this R & D work.

I like the way you think -outside the box. I'm not sure if that is a viable solution but I will ponder the implications & anything else related that comes to mind during the week. It seems that almost everything in our factory ECUs are tied to something else. Thanks for your input Steve. Oh, and max throttle I've ever experienced according to the informeter is 85% I think. In the last couple of weeks it's been nothing over 80%. Again, it's so many other factors which determine what the ECU allows you to do.:mad:

As for you other guys - you crack me up :rofl: It doesn't take long to degrade into a free-for-all lol.

here is something to add to the many curve ball's....the throttle stepping and open% may also be changed buy the temp sender on the AFM!.....density of air and all that crap.....I hope you crack this one Leon. Another thought as our ECU is similar to the AT RX8 in the way it control's everything maybe there might be some info on this within the RX-8 forums somewhere!

anyway just my thought's and awesome work Leon!...don't you just love drive by wire!

I think you are spot on and there may well be a couple of other parameters thrown in for good measure! If I had to determine exactly what the ECU looked at to open the throttle a given amount, I'd need a lookup table far bigger & complex than I'd be able to put together myself with the resources I have.

I'm guessing now, but at this early stage I think I'd be lucky to get maybe an extra 10% total opening consistently. Another few % may come with the other parameters that will be outside of my control.

I'll just sneak up on it tho. I little research, a bit of measuring, a LOT of trial & error & see what eventuates. And no, I don't particularly love DBW :glare: .

give me a full ecu wiring diagram in english and ill sus out whats holding it back from opening up the throttle....... ie: all sensors attatched to the ecu etc etc

Wiring diagram.. as in which pins do what? we've gone one of them thats fairly complete, and I should be able to do the rest if theyre required? :)

actually a diagram wont help with out the software to be able to access the ECU to see the program that is running.

the wiring diagram will only show whats connected to the ECU and not how the ECU uses the information.......... i was thinking to symplistically HAHA

has anyone spoken to these guys.......... http://www.nistune.com/index.php

edit*** is this the correct ecu for our cars? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-STAGEA-M35-ENGINE-ECU-/270745912798

Well I have a Stagea VQ30 ecu for $100 if anyone wants it. Someone on this site said that the VQ30 did not have fly by wire throttle so should be ideal for someone who wants to try a mechanical throttle. Its off a n/a engine so ideally would be run with a piggyback and standalone ebc.

How are the cam's controlled on a VQ30? Does the VQ30 ecu talk to the gearbox? What sort of gearbox does the VQ30 have? List goes on.......if only it was that easy! Thanks for the offer and nice thinking!

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
