So

I own a manual 34GTT and im looking at installing tomei cams ether type B or A. My tuner has advised me they might have problems with idel due to the fact

they can't change some settings on the nistune. Which is leading me to get the type A as they are alightly smaller.

So is there anyone out there running bigger cams with a nistune and if there was any problems.

My car has 3inch exhaust, fmic, bigger injectors, 3071r and the nistune.

THis is what ive been told. Being manual we may be able to get around it. We have had some dramas with the auto cars and big cams stalling.

The problem is at 0 throttle above 800 rpm the ECU cuts the fuel. If your cams are too big and you need your idle to be 950 then you are all ready under idle when the ecu starts to add fuel again.

I would imagine the 252’s should almost idle like standard so we should be able to tune around it.

There are other plug-in ECU’s on the market but I would stick with the nistune for as long as possible

The throttle recovery is about 1800rpm with an auto Stagea image. Unless there has been a revision on Nistune that allows you to modify this setting it seems to be pretty much set in stone with this image.

I have been supplied with the wrong image for the Stagea and haven't gotten around to removing the board and getting it reflashed to the manual image. I would love to lower the throttle recovery to about 1500rpm...and get rid of a couple of error codes.

I will be fine. NIStune is alot better and alot of tuneability compared to what some tuners think, it is however alot different to most ecu's so some tuners are unfamiliar eith how to tune them correctly

That's bullshit because the decel fuel cut rpm is adjustable, and it doesn't happen when the VSS is reading zero anyway.

I would not be so sure about this.

This depends on the ECU being used.

There is not just one Nistune ECU and they all have different features depending on the hardware.

I have the Z32 ECU (Type 2) and there it seems to be working but on R34 (Neo / Type 4) I would not know.

From what the tuner said it seems he knows what he is talking about...

Best is to ask Nistune for a 2nd opinion

Surprised no-one has asked why you'd even bother with cams on a 3071... turbo simply isn't big enough to warrant the expense IMO, far better things to spend that money on a bang for buck scale.

Im getting some great responses here keep them coming.

Johnnilicte " Replace tuner, lumpy cams don't like stoich, but being poncams man there won't be any issues"

The tuner is a very trusted and recommened on here 9/10 threads when people are chasing tuners in qld. I fully trust his addvice i just wanted to hear what others people have done in this situation.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. What other bang for buck things would you recommend?

Half the reason i even want to do the cams is i have a weaping rocker cover seal and getting a 100k service done and the mechanic is a good mate. Just thought i might aswell get some see how the car will responsed.

 

34GeeTeeTee "The type B's in my car are undetectable.... Idles at 950 smooth az. They are not lumpy.

I see in your list of mods your running a Haltech. My problem is apparently the lack of ability to change a few settings with the nistune due to the higher idle. Not that they will be to lumpy.

Johnilicte "You're hopping to Poncams right? you didn't specify..

Poncams have very mild duration so there won't be any issues idling at stoich & stock timing "

Yer im just trying to decide between type A or B.

I think this was re-moved due to not fully working.

(See the link I posted where a tuner asked about this)

It's not set in the base-image but in the so called Address-Files (new with each SW version).

For the Z32 ECU (which I have) it is available.

I might have to retract my statement about the cut & recover being adjustable in R34 images. I can't find it in the R34 images, even though I thought I had seen there in the past.

It is there in other images I have used, like the R32 RB20.

Brakes, suspension, clutch, diff - I could go on but you get the idea :)

should not be an issue, yes the r34 nistune has less tuneable addresses than other nistune ecus it wont have an issue (most are cold enrich issues on e85 on really big horsepower setups) , i do however recommend running the std bov to help alleviate the stalling... it is an issue with some setups on r34 ecus. We have made mid 400's on r34 nistunes so they are capable, you may just need to make a few compromises.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
