hey guys, just took my car to gavin wood on the gold coast to get my s-afc tuned. He did a great job like everyone said he would, car was only running 120 rwhp now its up to 165 rwhp, so very happy, made the car pull the whole way thru the rev range instead of dropping off around 4 -5 grand, also was only running 11:1 air/fuel EEK!, so thats all been fixed up to 14:1 roughly. saw some nice cars while i was there too :)

and all done for a good price to, very worth it

How long did they have your car for?

My cars been to Gavins for servicing before, but when I rang up a week or so ago to book in for an SAFC install/tune I was told they would need the car for 2-3 days, I know there mega busy but WTF!

I promptly rang another workshop for it to be done in a couple of hours.

HI SHANE.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHO TOLD YOU IT WOULD TAKE 2-3 DAYS PLEASE.

I THINK THAT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MISUNDERSTANDING ON OUR BEHALF.

THERE ARE SO MANY ABBREVIATIONS NOW - SAFC,PFC,BOV,ETC,ETC.

SAFC DOESN'T TAKE 3 DAYS TO FIT.

SORRY ABOUT THE STUFF UP MATE.

REGARDS

KAAABBOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

No probs Gavin, it was a young bloke, dont remember his name sorry.

Don't see how he could have got mixed up because he actually suggested I save my money and go for a PFC.

But anyhow I'll be back for next round of mods... :thumbsup:

hey, yeah the car is a r31 with a rb20det. i know 165 seems a bit low, seeing im running 11psi, fmic, 3in mandrel bent zorst and a tuned afc, but i can tell ya its better than what it used to be. i have been a little concerned since i got the engine on the lowish power outputs, at leaves gavin put some much improved grunt behind it,,, mine as up there for a few days, but then again he's a busy man and i didnt really need my car back in a hurry so i didnt really mind too much, rather him take his time than pressure them to get it done and rush the job :D

but any feedback on the lack of power would be appreciated... also take into consideration the inacuracy of dyno's so i believe?

HI SHANE

THAT WOULD BE SCOTT I'D SAY.

IT'S AMAZING HOW WHEN YOU QUIZ THESE GUYS ABOUT A CUSTOMER

COMPLAINT - THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE **** YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

ONCE AGAIN - SORRY MATE.

GAVIN.

PS. I HOPE YOUR CAR IS RUNNING OK NOW .

HEAR HEAR - I HAVE SEEN A DIFFERENCE OF 60 HP BETWEEN DYNOS ON THE SAME

DAY , SAME VEHICLE AND SAME TEMPS.

I USE A DYNO AS A TUNING TOOL - NOT TO GIVE AN ACCURATE POWER READING.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
