Hey mate i remember you, i told you to see matty for tuning as you told me you had problems.

On matty's dyno i made 340rwhwp yet on the weekend the car made 420rwhp with the same set up except blown manifold gasket and has gone almost 121mph with 4psi less boost of what it was tuned on.

I would say it could be your mechanics have either done something to your car or matty isnt tuning it right.

As much as you are sick of spending money, your going to have to spend more as there arent many profesional skyline tuners/ builders here in qld

if you want pm your contact details and il give you a call

harun

with a conversion i would also be looking for all air leaks first...everywhere intercololer pipes vacuum lines everything

check fuel filter

then look at cam timing if adjusted take back to stock then go from there on a dyno.

then check plugs and gap.

set timing to 20 deg adv at 1200rpm

remove exhaust leave just the dump

on the dyno check air fuel ration should be around 12- 12.5 to 1 for a good tune

run something a little better than a t piece but it doesnt have to be electronic just something a bit better..

check regulator pressure make sure it is aroun 35-40psi at idle

the halteck is a map sesor have you totally rewired or bought a plug in harness for it

check your map senso is a 3 bar item

check you are getting wot

some of these are drawing at straws and considering you have made strong power at lower level it leads me to believe there are two problems ignition or fueling....

check coil packs, check regulator and read you ignition maps on higher boost thats what a halteck is good for look at them on the pc...

hope this helps!!

Hey guys, thanks for you're responses. I have a heaps of things that need to be addressed by the sounds of things. Last night i was thinking about just ripping the halteck out and starting again. I will get photo's of the stuff you have asked for as I couldn't find an AR no. I am one of those guys that just say's I want to go fast, how much? fingers crossed they do the right thing.

irs not important as it is still pushing 22psi, which ever way you look at it 22psi is 22psi, only the characteristics of boost delevier and response will be affected by the ar no. on the turbo...

eg... 1.06 on my gtr came in a 5800

.86 comes in a 4800

on the same bosst it stil makes the same figures..

the problem is not the haltech they are fantastic computers, they just need someone that knows about haltechs to work on them.... i recomend you call this bloke

www.justenginemanagement.com

he knows about them more tha anyone he used to make them before starting his own business...

yeh boost controller can have somethingto do with it, not too likely.. but a mate had a turbosmart dualstage and its was just plain shit removed it and was 10 times better.

get a profec b or something similar ive have one and its seriously a good thing and fairly cheap

profec b's r shit with external gate. HKS EVC are the best cause they use a stepper motor

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
