Best advice would be leave it as it is because they build the cars as a package rather than just bolting shiny stuff on and hoping for the best.

If you're dead keen on more power, 2.8 is really the way to go.

Dont stress the AFM's - the ones you have are certainly not cheap and while yes it's better to have MAP in some people's opinion (including mine), you'll be spending money on that swap for no real gain in HP. For example, if you take the AFM's out and sell them you'll get about $700, and then about the same for the PFC (it has a super expensive tune on it now which will be thrown away), so lets say around $1400. Now, you'll need to buy another ECU so lets say you get the Link G4 which is popular thesedays, thats $1850 inc the map sensor it needs as the on board one doesnt read high enough. So you're out of pocket $450 at this stage. Now, go have the board put into a stock casing which you'll have to find from someone (say $50 or slab of beer), then map sensor installed into the engine bay, then tuned, you'll spend at least $1000 on that being done by someone who knows what they're doing. So, $1450 approx spent and all you've done is delete the AFM's which are the best on the market anyway.

Wait, sorry it's got Vcam - forget the tune being cheap

It could have a stock fuel pump in there, but if I had to guess I'd guess a Nismo pump.

It's going to be running 1 bar boost given how they do their boost control. You could change the actuators to higher ones from GCG or have the current ones loaded to open at a different pressure. Have a look at the actuator arms and take a picture if you can, see if they're dead straight or if there is a bend in them. Of course any change to boost will require tuning

Also if you want to get rid of that exhaust one day, there's heaps of guys in Sydney that would be keen

Don't think it has the stock fuel pump.. the one in there makes some noise (squirt squirt every 3-4 seconds).

If it is indeed running 1 bar boost then it has a f**kload of potential left in it!

When full boost is hit, the MFD reads 1.4 bar (from memory) and starts flashing red however, that could just be the limitation of the MFD..

I'll have a look next time on the Apexi AVCR to get the exact reading.

Out of curiousity, why do Racepace choose to not run EBCs?

Learn something new every day, excellent!

The previous owner states it is only displaying boost and speed only.. interesting.

Anyway of checking the AVCR to see if it is controlling the boost?

Overall, I'm in a similar predicament to you so I'll be following you're thread closely. I'm at the limits of the stock engine now saving up for the next step. I'm actually going backwards by quietening the exhaust for the baby...

Cheers dude!

Just because the fuel pump makes a noise doesn't mean it's any specific one. It's time for you to open the fuel tank up and look inside! Let the tank get almost empty though, it's no fun when there's fuel in the tank (some is unavoidable of course but what I mean is dont fill the tank up then stick your hand in)

Sorry, 1 bar actuators will mean a minimum of 1 bar (close enough to 15psi). Check the AVCR though to be sure. There may be a PFC boost control kit in there but i highly doubt that.

RP set the actuators to the boost level wanted and thats that - no need to spend money on EBC's and spend time on setting them up etc. Look at how many cars they've done like that and how well those cars have performed and they've definatley proven EBC's arent needed :)

Thanks dude, will def have to do that

Racepace don't use EBC's, it's not strange at all :)

ahhh. learn something new everyday...

Maybe a call to the previous owner or racepace might save some time and labour...

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
