Also, when he puts true E85 in his tank in summer/when the decent fuel is available, the cars tune will turn right up and make max power. When he puts in a shitty mix, it will automatically soften the tune so as to not blow up. Even more so when PULP98 is put in. Brilliant idea I reckon. If you tune your car on E85 and have no knock sensor/safety barrier, then go put in some fuel that you think is E85 but turns out it is E70 you may pop your engine. Not this guy though.

Would be a good idea to tune your engine to united's E85 as it comes up .5 to .8 leaner on the lambda, then when you chuck in the caltex,

you'll have your nice fat flame throwing tune thats safe as house's, ive been fiddling and mapping my new engine alot lately, still love the stuff!

Hey Pete, RE: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/123887-workshop-autoparts-listing/

Im pretty sure Import Compliance Systems and Smooth Garage have both closed, can anyone confirm?

Aussie Dyno dont tune anymore

Souther HiTech is on the list twice

gotta love Friday GIF's

Hanging out for 5 o'clock, picking up the keys to the new house!

Are you more excited about

A) purchasing your very own home

B) finding your own space to park the GTR

I suppose more excited about getting my own home.

the GTR is going to be staying at the missus mum's place because the Garage isnt big enough for the car. i need to knock down the wall and extend it about a metre and a half. shouldnt be too hard.

my brother and his mates are all carpenters so they could probably help me extend it.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
