a question for the been there done that tuner types.

i'm wondering what the best VTC switch off point for my mods would be?... the setting is currently 4700 i and i was thinking of turning it off earlier? its quite a confusing topic after the searching and reading...i don't understand why all the dyno graphs i look at seem to peak up when its turned off...and then i've had other advise to say keep it on longer....

can anybody help me understand this? i'm trying to learn to tune

relivant mod list

z32 afm

upgraded factory turbo running 16-17psi (1.15bar)

powerfc

fcdatalogit

intercooler

custom tune

Yuh, One run with it switched off early, one run with it switched off late. See where the lines cross and set it more or less to there and see how it goes after that. Not quite rocket science.

Yes that's a method, however with it switched off I find from my personal, limited & road only tuning abilities you can dial in more timing with it switched off so then when you over lay it again the intersection point will shift again.

I would say that it would be best switched off at maximum VE to reduce the need to pull out timing (this will be dependant on turbo too of course)

I am pedantic, and at least for full power runs tune the whole timing/fuel map with it off - then do the same with it on, then you get to see the maximum potential of both (MBT and the torque number produced tends to change a bit) - *THEN* you can see when to turn it off, and then if/when to turn it back on again ;) No one size fits all on this one, I don't think.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
