Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt


Recommended Posts

I wouldnt be best placed to comment - hence my posting - waiting for the gurus GTSBoy, Scotty, BadGaz, XKLABA and others...does it (my maps) look alright?

that map looks fine to me, RB25 motors all have that timing "wedge" which then decays as RPM increases

It looks odd to me though, but then again I wouldn't know if its normal as you said..

Is this a tune or log?

Yeah the data looks fine and your shown us all your other fuel corrections..... AFM... Noticed someone is having a sale on afms in the for sale section.

things I've suggested already in previous posts.

  • get a datalogit kit
  • get a wideband
  • produce a log

myself and other members will analyse - looking at the timing map & fuel maps is one thing, but they both look normal to me.

Here's mine for reference (but it's on E85):

28 pages of information condensed into one simple action plan...this is all that you need to do before anything else.

I have been monitoring AFM voltages with the commander - idle is always alternating 1190-1250V ish, and I had to switch my afm warning off in powerfc because high rpm/boost runs always bring on the engine light at 4.8V+ in 2nd and 3rd. AFM voltage peaks too much, AFM settings is actually 100% for every voltage readout uptil 5.12V in the afm calibration table.

Datalogit kit is money wasted just to diagnose a problem, I dont even have a laptop haha, will a wideband with gauge just do? Johnny I wana borrow your AFM for 30mins on the weekend lol

saturday arvo works - you will owe me a 6 pack of James Squire or so

another easier way, buy an ECU that uses a MAP sensor.. you won't have these AFM issues and reversion issues

I found that 'wedge' on the timing map is because of the two timing values 30 on the N20 cell highlighted here (highest rpm/ lowest load). I can smooth that out- dunno why they left such a big jump but I doubt that will make the map any 'better' - when does anyone ever reach redline at min load?

Overrun/overrev on downshift.

Also, and by the way, when you say "wedge" do you mean the ridge of high timing running along the top, or do you mean the little dip right at the end closest to the viewer?

Not exactly a map tracer but this table shows where my map tracer cells roughly are during a normal drive(top yellow blob) and then downshifting (bottom blob) this is where they go and the car becomes an ass for 4-5 seconds...

Edit - I would probably move that second blob 3 cells down - thats more where it goes to.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
