Personally for my car throttle response was better....I wired my grounding kit to my throttle bodies. Shifting was better (auto). If you read g35driver or myg37, a lot of them will say the same thing. I think it's also all the electronics and drive by wire system.

Camr33 - I'd think your car may have a tune done to it if it felt really different in terms of acceleration and power. Like Greg said, some tunes allow stock ECU to be used.

I wouldn't say its in my head, as I didn't know it had a grounding kit until after I bought it.

But it definitely had a definite power advantage over the others I drove, like I said- is there a way I can tell if it is chipped or has aftermarket cams

PS: It could also just be a tight engine... My V35 350GT goes hard (compared to others) and I'm not surprised... with such low mileage and the condition it was in when it was sold, it makes sense to me.

So thought I would get a baseline done on my V36.

Vehicle is stock in the way of performance mods.

Car year: 2012

Millage: 20,500km

Trans: 7sp auto

Fuel: 98 octane fuel

Temp: 26-28 degrees with low humidity (perth summer)

Dyno: dynapac (hub dyno)

Power: 220kW at 6600rpm

Torque: 340Nm at 4600rpm

I feel that these are unusually high numbers thoughts?

It's not out of the question, there are a number of different factors at play not withstanding that particular dyno itself may read a bit optimistic on average(If it is a hub dyno i think they tend to read a bit higher than a rolling dyno anyway, but not much).

If you do get performance mods make sure it's on the same dyno for this reason so it will give you a more reliable comparison.

Will do, my intention is to keep continuity with dynos.

I will shortly be adding some:

Fast Intentions HFCs,

Motordyne M370 intake and

Cash flow dependent the Takeka CAI

Then dyno, retune an report back.

On a side note: I was having a chat with the tuner today and he said that the ecu learnt very quick eg: he did 6 runs the first 4 ran rich AFR then leaned out in the last two without any input from his end.

Guessing most of these v36's are autos with stock ecu thus the 180km/h limit, can everyone chime in what gear was the dyno run done? im guessing that will affect these numbers for sure...

For example to do a whole rpm band dyno run, they would have to be done in 3rd gear as it would cutoff at 180km/s in 4th before it redlines...

just my thoughts :)

I requested the uprev lic be aquirred for my vehicle prior to the dyno runs to allow the removal of the limiter which for reference was reached in 4th in the low 6000rpms (first run before limiter removal.

I raised the question when I was informed that the run was undertaken in 4th "why it wasn't performed in the 1:1 gear (5th on the 7sp)." The tuners response was the power that is made by the car isnt dependent on the gear, rather the gears determine what rpm that power gets put down in... For example the peak power remains the same in all gears it's just seen earlier in the rpm band in lower gears.

Now this is just my understanding (not nessarilly correct), so jump in with any corrections.

Now torque on the other hand I would assume is a different subject?

What dyno machine did you use?

I got 180rkw with stillen hfc uprev base tune on dynodynamics.

I ran the diagnosis with obde2, no error codes, Afr is around 12.2 under wot.

I got 5AT 08 SP. Going to get Takeda Rc2 Cai and go for a proper tune when i have time, prolly have to inject more fuel after cai to get the afr under 12 with wot

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
