Hi

Just would like some tips on a few stuff.

1) Say i have buy ethanol content sensor, would it be possible to get a tune done for a nistune so i have 98 tune, e70, e75 and e80 maps loaded on, then when i fill up, i can check the ethanol content on the reader and then plug a laptop in and load the correct map via the consult cable ? How much would this involve in dollars usually, i would assume that would be considered four seperate tunes.

2) If i purchase a wideband sensor + gauge + controller say from innovatemotorsport, would i be able to replace the wideband with my narrowband ? Would the controller be able to be plugged into the stock wiring for narrowband, and then be able to use the wideband for tuning, or do i weld in both sensors ? and would it be compatible with nistune, or do you monitor that seperately?

3) Would it be worth upgrading engine mounts when going from stock to 300rwkw+ especially that the intake manifold and turbo are both out, is the job not too hard for the side mounts ? Any diagrams or guides ? I assume you just take out top and bottom bolt(s) then jack up the engine a bit and pull it out ?

Thanks

If your going to that effort get a flex capable ecu and do a proper flex tune, so simple and less risk of any issues....

As for engine mounts, unless they are worn or

Broken then leave them as is...

There are a few options out now and so far they all seem pretty successful.... They are generally MAP.... Mines not P&P so not the best option

As for the clunky, I wouldn't know without hearing or feeling it, it's possible but more likely driveline related?

yeah, i wouldn't bother around with all that if you're running Nistune, get an ECU with a digital input.

You'll find most people run the Link G4's for this sort of thing, or the Vipec equivalent. There is a plug'n'play for the 34's.

      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.
