Early tuning so far has cracked the 300kw barrier. Has a small misfire up top of revs, threw a new set of plugs in it to see if it helps ran out of time in day. Its still making power at 7400 revs so its promising so far

Gotta love modifying cars.

After taking car back in with new plugs and the thought missfire had been cured, ran it up seemed good to go did a few runs running spot on. Started to get some heat soak into Everything and it starts breaking down again......:(.

Looks like the set of splitfires have seen their day. ( they were on car when it was purchased do unsure of age).

Currently on 18psi its making 317kws which is getting there. Once coils are fixed ( very soon) it will be good to crank some boost into it

Just getting another set of splitfires. Owner thought about copying setup that's on my own car, 6 Bosch coils and aftermarket ignitor pack but plebt people making power no issue with splitfires.

Expecting power to jump up quickly from now. The turbo should be coming alive with a bit more boost

New splitfires arrived and are installed. Quickly threw it on dyno just do get a lot of heat soak in it and load it completely in 4th. No missfire.

Once workshop has a spare couple hours it will get put back on for attempt number 372865 at successful tune.

Sure do I'm over in Bargara, just about to start a little build soon but have bought fuel system components to suit 98. Might have to upgrade once it's up and running.... Good thread mate, very keen to hear how it goes once tuned!

Cool id say depending on project plan it out and spend once, otherwise just throwing money away. From what ive seen and heard the ethanol content is pretty consistent on a analyzer.

We are keen to get some results but it all just takes time unfortunetly

Yeah you're right, the Xspurt 1000's will handle it and I can just use my new intank pump as a lift for a surge tank so that will work out ok. If United remain a reliable source for good E85 then that will be excellent! Make sure you let us all know once you get a tune on ethanol as well :) be very interesting to see the same setup tuned on 98 then retuned on E85.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
