Hey all,

Just got my car back from Unigroup after it was tuned. Noticed now that when its cold, if I drive in first then clutch in to go to second, the car will hold revs at nearly 1.5k before eventually dropping back down. It makes for uncomfortable driving and shifting between gears.

Now I understand when the car is cold that it runs in different modes hence the rpm being higher, but when the car is warm it sometimes presents the same issue. The car was pre tune tested for leaks and other issues, timing set etc. I suspect it might be something to do with the afm but at the same time, I have no idea. The AAC thing has been removed and cleaned about 2 years ago.

Idle is set to 750 - 850 rpm if I recall. ECU is a power FC.

Also have another annoying issue. When starting the car, the hand check engine light will flash and display a knock reading usually between 40 - 60 on startup. I have narrowed this issue down previously and it seems if I have the datalogit connected to my car OR if I have my narrowband feeding a signal to the ECU, it does this. Without either, the car will NOT flash and there is no ping on startup. I don't care about it but its annoying for someone with OCD with everything running right.

Any ideas guys?

I know with my tune and my PFC cold idle is really high as well. Makes it harder to drive but doesn't last long.

My tps was also out and would make the car idle high and hunt. Could be worth checking the tps sensor, very easy with the PFC hand controller.

Can't help with the check engine sorry!

I've checked all sensors and the voltage are in spec. I'll be taking the car back to Unigroup to have the tune finalized after my fuel system us up to scratch.

Do you happen to have the O2 sensor connected?

Sounds like your fuel cut recovery point might be on the high side causing it to do that.

Since you're taking it back to unigroup let them fix it, if not I'll give you a few pointers on what to do to try and fix your issue

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
