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

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
