Educated Guess At The Final Tune Results


Nismo 3.2ish

Recommended Posts

I would not bother staying in Sydney if I were you. I'd drop the car off and go home. Then call them routinely and get updates.

Get a friend to drive with you and drive back

Doubt very much that I would be staying in Sydney.

I would not ask anyone to drive 8 hours so I can drop my car off, I just could not do that . Apart from the kids I am a bit of a loner, always have been :)

Got a date for retune yet Pete?

Not yet mate, they were tied up for a couple of weeks so maybe a couple of weeks or so, I do not want to give it to them unless they can start on it immediately, well hopefully, well maybe, well it could happen , haha

Sorry if its been covered earlier but is this the initial run in tune on a new motor? If so your tuner isn't going to push the tune hard straight up normally its very conservative in regards to timing ect. Just a few degrees extra will make a big gains in output.

Hi Ryan, not sure what graph you saw, this is the final tune

Have to take the car back in a week or so, there are a few ongoing problems to sort out and after that I have to think seriously about what I will do.

I think if I really want the car to run as it could with the build I need to dig into the pocket again :(

I might get the Dump and Cat changed and fuel situation sorted so it can handle it if I turn it up a bit. The exhaust is getting back pressure and the fuel is close to the max, so I an thinking of getting another Walbro 460 and running both into a surge tank, new lines and twin fuel rail. If I decide to do these mods, then I will then get the flex fuel tune done. I did not think it was worth doing the Flex Tune the way it is, it would struggle to take advantage of E85

Also thinking about getting CAI box done, the END :) AGAIN :)

I think he means twin entry rail.

You can get a good rail for $150 that will suit ID 1000/2000s

The real cost is in the lines and fittings,

You also don't need a massive fuel pump feeding the surge tank, as thats where fuel is returned too

and you definably don't need 2 feeding it.

I have a nismo lift pump and 2x walbro 400s in the surge tank feeding the rail

Even that is over kill in some people's opinion

Hi Joe

I will have to ask some more about all of this and there is plenty of time to work it out..

Yes, I think twin entry rail, I do not know the difference, I need to ask more questions and then have to look it all up :/

If I do this work naturally it will all be done before re tuning the the car for 98 and E85.

I have a near new Bosch 044, can that be used as a lift pump to the 460 Walbro in the tank to feed the rail. Are you saying that the standard fuel line is adequate on this build ??

I see blokes doing all sorts of mods on the fuel line and do not have the build I have, understand, I was not going to touch the car again and here I am, it is worse than f**king drugs :(

Still can't believe your running a 3 inch restriction in your exhaust. If that was on your original engine before, it could explain why it was so laggy. Hope you sort it out. Sounds as though it will be nice to drive.

They said I needed a 3.5 inch exhaust done with the previous work before the 3.2 build.. Then I checked the Dump and Cat after the build and they are 3 inch. I am going to a 4" Dump and maybe a 5" Venom Cat and see how that goes with the 3.5" back from the Cat. If there is a problem with that it will be changed.

I will go ahead with the fuel mods and the Flex Tune at some stage, I would rather overkill than pushing it . But I will wait until after it comes back from the repairs and see how it is running, maybe I will do nothing if I am happy with it???

I wouldn't bother with flex until they can completely get the 98 tune sorted . imagine the ecu scaling between 2 tunes, you're having enough problem with one tune.

Yeah Ben, it will be done before I do anything else, it will be interesting to see how it is going when it comes back

The excuse was that "it was setup for a 2.6L".

Out of interest Pete, what/who made you go for the 3.2L stroker in the first place? Given the expense it seems like a curious mod path (to me) given what you wanted from the motor and given you had no prior experience with RB motors!

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
