This EFI mob sound like the go, and I am planning a drop off-pick up situation. Happy for the experts to do their thing.

I read that VVT won't work unless I get a 300zx ecu??

You have an R34 and your new ecu is R34? It should run the VCT fine.

there's also east coast customs and toshi

toshi is a little different though, he tunes it on the road, meaning you drive around while he sits in the passenger seat and tells you what to do for most of the day. he's tuned 150+ rb engines and many other engines. prior to him doing tuning he also used to do some spirited street driving in japan.

  • 1 month later...

alright then i was wondering if its possible to dual map R34GTT using whatever ECU. im just trying to figure out if its possible because it would be a great way to save fuel and the engine because it would allow me to run it at an economical tune for normal days and race mode for whenever i need perfomance. I dont mind the price any suggestions. maybe ill should start my own topic.

im no expert.... but.....

The Nistune does a 5D multi layered bi directional tune for economy and power.

Its all the in Air flow meter and your right foot. Boost doesn't use more fuel if its tuned nice and lean. Or left in closed loop at low boost levels.

Required power levels uses more fuel....... regardless of air fuel ratio.

So what I am saying is.... drive everywhere at 200 hp at 14.7:1 and you will use exactly twice as much fuel as driving everywhere at 100 hp at 14.7:1

Try driving everywhere using 15 - 30 hp all the time....... use your right foot to keep it off boost and you will be surprised how good your fuel economy becomes.

well its a GT3037 it start to kick in at 2000rpm and kicks out at 4500rpm its a street turbo. So if i could avoid the early boost on an average day it would be great on my economy.

Lol so it "kicks out" at 4500rpm?

dual maps for "economy" and "power" are completely pointless as the perfect tune will give you the best of both. the only reason to ever run dual maps if for different fuel types or additives (nos etc).

get a decent tune (not just a full load tune like a lot of workshops do) and try to maintain a steady throttle position when cruising and you'll get good economy.

HYPED6, pretty spot on, it wont be exactly twice as much fuel (due to BSFC) but its close enough.

Can you please elaborate for me?

at different revs and loads the engine has different efficiencies. its most efficient at peak torque, which is why it produces the most force per revolution. obviously this varies with every engine but even with the same engine if you keep it at a constant rpm and go from 100hp output to 200hp output with the same AFR's (by opening the throttle further) your increasing chamber pressure, squish characteristics and timing (depending on the ignition map) which will all have an effect on the efficiency of the combustion. so whilst it isnt much you'd probably use slightly more than double going from 100hp to 200hp at the same revs and AFR's.

But, in the big scheme of things it doesnt really matter :nyaanyaa:

We can produce both powers at the same rev by adjusting the throttle plate.

Timing would be correct for the application at both loads.

If the AFR is the same fuel usage will be double.

However, I do believe I was caught up in the moment and using the word "exactly" may not bet totally correct.

There are many factors that come in to play like the difference in barometric pressure, air and fuel temp from the 2 events being 100hp and 200hp.

If measurable there would have to be some sort of variation.

The real concern is why your turbo is kicking out? I would be upset if my 3037 was doing that

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
