One more thing, my fuel temps dropped 15 degrees when I changed from constant pump speed to injector duty based PWM pump speed.  Well worth doing.

Interested in the impact that 15o has on fuel, I found no solid information last time I looked around.  What temp should fuel be, what happens as it gets hotter, and what is too hot?

98 it doesn't seem to do shit

 

e85 she get hot and leans out a bit

 

small cooler fixed it in my r33

 

staged pumps also helps

The pumps were supposed to be staged to stop the fuel getting hot.

One of the first thing that was looked at when I first went to the shop , I was asked where the surge tank was and when I showed him, he said feel the surge tank and it was pretty hot

Does hot fuel interfere with the tune, could this be a reason it was spiking on 85. it was OK on 98 ?

Yea e85 doesn't like to get hot or it will lean out but you will be amazed how lean it can run before it melts a piston

 

 

98 even slight lean outs = melted pistons

 

I  logged it in my gtr and after three laps you can watch the afr getting scary

 

like I said a small cooler fixed it

I am sure your car cops heaps more than I will ever do with mine, Micko and Paul is another thing, lol

Going to do some laps with Paul after it is done and dusted, has to be better than dodging potholes :)

Why no closed loop correction in heavily load areas?

I set my closed loop all the way to 2 bar.

I think you know the answer to that! ?

2 bar I Don't party as hard as you blokes 

I could have got some flash computer and talked about epic closed loop control..... or I could just install the 300 dollar cooler and be done with it back on track the following week

 

my car was back on track the following week

In saying that your car is a filthy dirty track whore ?

Not everyones car is lol

Controlling fuel pump speed with PWM ftw, imho.   Should be able to run MASSIVE pumps and have the fuel get no warming than with a stock fuel pump if you run the right amounts, you should be able to have headroom the whole way through so the regulator is still always busy but without nuking the fuel.

Definitely.

That is putting a lot of faith in that system.

It is, however you tune it so it's nearly 100% at the AFR you wish and then allow maximum of sat -/+5% correction either way. 

I've been doing this for all the cars I've tuned for the track and "seems" successful, besides mine which exploded on the street lol.

Ideally fuel should be trimmed via baro, iat, and fuel temp but at times budget setups don't have the necessary sensors we all wish for.

Well finally after sorting out many problems they started to tune it up today and have a run on 98 at 20psi , next week they will turn it up a bit and fine tune it.

I will put the final tune results next week, here is the Dyno run on 20psi

Should look mad on E85

After a long time and many negative and positive helpful hints and told to buy a V8 by a few , they said I would never be happy with the 34 , but I like the Skyline and just wanted this somewhat heavy 2.6Lt car to have some more torque to make it get going earlier.  a few pissed on me about going on about RESPONSE!. I was also told on the first page no one would be bothered to reply or read the thread , but 116 sometimes very boring pages later we are at an end , this will make many happy, but as I said at the getgo, don't like it, don't read it, piss off, many did, lol

The top end power has dropped down from the earlier tunes , 1st 475kw, then 461and now 457kw but it is more the car I wanted, response!

Micko has pick it up and bringing it up with Paul on the weekend, hope it makes it home in one piece and there goes my liver after a few days with these alcoholics  :yes:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
