Gtx3071 Install

[scotty nm35]

Yeh, i'm pretty stoked.

The Fcon has changed the whole feel of the car, nice firm adjustable gear changes, an idle I can set, cold start mapping so it fires first kick with the ethanol, no 300kw blip when I roll off the throttle. The list goes on.

I noticed the box wont shift into gear properly at full throttle until its hot, it just bounces off the limiter. I guess that's the gearbox computer's job though.

I know 2 people that will be pleased to read that.... and one that won't

Who?? Do tell!!

[scotty nm35]

Trolololol. Good try Cam.

Anyway, its a great option for tuning if you can get past the high cost and lack of HKS tuners.

[zei20l]

lol so the throttle is working fine now?

[scotty nm35]

There was no issue with Cams install either if you listened.

I can adjust the throttle curve similar to the pivot unit but this goes way further, the Fcon controls the throttle directly so no more closing after 5k, blip on pedal release, throttle close on gearchange or whatever else it does.

I have to hook up the brake wire again and see if this engine light will go away. Oh and reconnect the o2 sensor...

Here is the page for Calder on Friday night. It looks like I would have to be there by 5 or 6pm.

lol lets be honest, cams wasnt running THAT well. it needed to be tuned. its a shame we didnt get to see that before the end came

[scotty nm35]

Oh, his stock fuel pump was lethargic. Its too late once its strapped to the dyno I guess...

I had faith in your setup Cam, even though I had teething issues with mine. Thanks for the help buddy.

Only didn't run "THAT well" above 4500 as the blockage in my fuel filter limited the fuel supply. Everything under 4500 was tuned and running perfectly.

Well it ran perfectly for ~1500kms until I drove into a ditch

[Sage222]

can i ask who tuned it mate? they are some nice clean lines

[iamhe77]

LOL, may I suggest PM'ing him that question.

[Sage222]

can do.. though not sure why...

[scotty nm35]

HKS have a bad habit of suing people. lol.

f**kers...

[Mick_o]

Nice results scotty well done mate

Thats a huge torque i bet it pulls harder than a 14yo with a playboy magazine! Lol

Im curious to know how much torque my car produces id also like to see how the same turbo feels on a different motor

Our power figures are .4 kw difference but you do have an auto and 1.06 rear housing yeah?

[scotty nm35]

Yeh Mick, very close power wise.

The car still doesn't feel that quick, its a fair bit heavier than a skyline but the torque obviously helps. I guess I will see what it can do on Friday.

[wolverine]

Maxed out the compressor by the looks of it.

I think good tuning on these turbos delivers nice and linear power. The 1.06 housing would remove any tendencies to give you light switch delivery which might make it feel slower than it is.

Mick's car just keeps giving the more you ask of it so it is quick but it isn't scary to drive plus there is still room to tickle the suspension on it.

[Aaron S]

so are you still planning to go to calder tomorrow night?

[scotty nm35]

Yep, at this stage the plan is to be there around 5 for scrutineering, I don't want to be there all night so I will try and get a few runs in early on.
