There aren't any tuners really familar with the Nistune software in Auckland so I struggled to get it tuned.
Ended up taking it to a highly respected Auckland based tuner who said he would give it a go.

The graphs just seem a little weird to me but keen to hear your feedback

Looks pretty fine to me, the dip in the power graph at around 4200rpm is I believe because of the external gate opening once it hits full boost.

Looks fairly laggy though with the boost and the power delivery. Maybe someone with knowledge about the actual turbo could chime in.

The boost also seems to drop off a fair but towards the end of the rpm so that's why your top end power isn't a little more aggressive. Not sure if this was the way the turner set it up or of he had trouble with holding boost. External gate should have prevented that though.

The turbo is Journal bearing so this may count for some of the delays the turn is rated for 600hp and designed for boost levels below 22psi. I had some concerns about the boost as well but just wanted a few second opinions. Also the amount of boost in relations to the power seems less then I expected

Would have been interesting to see it with stock cams. How much power were you expecting to make? Z32 AFM won't reach to 600 hp.

Andy from X-tune is familiar with Nistune but he's quite hard to get hold of. I am pretty sure the tuner at Torque Performance does them too but having said that I'm sure it didn't take Soichi long to find his way around it.

Are you able to lock the auto in gear for tuning?

Yup it was locked in 3rd for tuning. I was expecting closer to 300kw after comparing it to alot of similar setups here on SAU. I tried to build the setup for responce with a large compressor wheel (similar to a T350) on a T3 shaft and slightly larger billet compressor wheel to help boost build quicker but still retaining the weight of a smaller wheel.

The Cams were also there to bring that torque curve down lower slightly. I'm not sure what it would have been like stock cams

On a side note there are plent of people on the SAU forums making 300kw+ with a Z32 AFM. I spent a week trawling both the Unopened 300KW+ RB25DET thread and the RB25DET Dyno sheets.

Oh and trust me I have no doubt of Soichis ability with the RB hes a freaking genius with it.

The peak at 4000 is likely caused by convertor slip.

Ok should I see what MV Automatics have in stock?

Did you tell him to not rev it higher?

He said he didn't want to change the rev limit

Did he play with the vct switch point or dial the cams at all?

Not sure but we gave him the Nistune manual

Doesn't look too bad for auto, did Soichi make any comments?, good luck getting hold of Andy!, it's only on 98?, as Bob says would be good to compare to std cams

Soichi said he didn't like the auto and didn't like nistune. Its running Force10 (98 with 10% Ethanol) and I put the cams in for the torque curve. But they say that cams add 10rwkw

Unfortunately the Nistune isn't used much in Auckland, at least Soichi has had a go & got the car running not too bad.

The auto will always read lower, also all the E results on SAU will usually be higher than ours

No idea why, the Nistune is very capable.

Of course Auto will read lower, but why the dyno's? Are they powered by sheep or something?

Mv can't help with the convertor. They slip. That's what happens. There is a lockup clutch in there. It Is nicer on the clutch to start a pull when it is fully locked , eg at 2800 rpm and light throttle then apply full throttle just be for run starts. Autos are a bit of a pain on the dyno...

Mv don't make convertors anyway, they get them done else where.

It would have been interesting to change the vct switch point, as the power really picks up at 5500 which is where vct turns off.

I noticed on the nistune site you posted your tune, can't you look at it and and see what he did with vct? It looks like if the vct was switched off earlier the curve would be nicer.

I don't think each each setup responds the same with vct switch point coupled with manifold and cam differences. For example I run type B's in my 2530 and they liked the switch point later, perhaps due to the extra air flow of the 30 or restriction of the stock manifold.

Just saying the OP may be looking at e85 results and expecting similar, yes our dyno's are powered by sheep & fush & chups oil

Looked at both 98 tunes and E85 and took the reduction in power into consideration. I spent lots of time going over each one carefully. Sheep powered dynos... Lol

Will have to find out if there is a NZ supplier of Convertors if this is what is giving me greif.

I posted there and here as I know that these are the 2 largest knowledge bases. Soichi is giving it a tune up as the cold start was quite rough.

Might have a play around with the VCT myself and see if that can bring the power in any differently though it will be a rough gauge through road testing.

i'm not too sure about how autos behave on dynos, although you do realise that you're boost level is only at 17.5psi dropping to 15psi.

id expect this turbo to start waking up at a minimum of 20psi so maybe first thing is to install a stronger spring in your wastegate and then turn the boost up a little more.

btw, the first graph shows 295rwkw, that's quite respectable power there.

Seriously you need a manual conversion! Its not a matter of the auto reading lower its the real extra transmission losses resulting in less power being available at the wheels where you want it. I looked back at my old graphs from when I had an auto and they were similar to yours. My graphs now are much smoother and the boost is rock steady (G4 Link with Synapse external W/G).

Regarding the cams my understanding is that the cams you have fitted will shift the torque upwards so yes another 10kw max but less poke lower down.

VCT is normally set with one run with VCT turned off and one on to see the optimum change points.

And yes Z32 AFM will do 300 - 350 kw but not 450.

Bottom line is your car should be pretty zippy with the power you have now!

First of all it appears the Standard Dyno meter interpretation used in NZ is DIN. Using that interpretation, the reading is higher then what it usually would be is in OZ.

The bush bearing turbo does not have an affects in terms of strangeness in the curve, how ever the response is slightly affected by oil temperature.

The Blue run of 285rwkws had a different name on it, That is not from your car is it?

The power level seems to be ok for the amount of boost given and auto transmission.

No DIN is not the standard in NZ, Don't know why sometimes the ST Hitec results are done that way

It's not a big deal.

Op is going back for a touch up tune so can ask for a reprint with whatever correction standard applied. It's stored as part of the file so can be changed later. That way you can pick the one that gives the highest power.......

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
