Here is my current map. I am running stock turbos, HKS intakes, decat, HKS Hipower, and power fc. I had boost set to 1.0 kg cm^2 but I didn't reach it because the duty cycle wasn't set high enough. I hit .90. I now have it at 1.1 and lowered some timings and I also added AEM's water methanol kit with the 500cc nozzle. I will soon be doing a 3rd gear pull with my 35% methanol and 65% water mix. If anyone has suggestions they are greatly appreciated even if it's get your ass to a real tuner, haha!

Thanks!

-Dave

Should output it to virtual dyno and work out where max torque is. Then once you're able to determine where max torque is you can started ramping the timing up towards the top.

Because you're running water/meth with those timing figures, you'll fine :)

Hard to purely say from timing numbers without a few dyno runs to determine the finer detail.

Thanks Johnny! I will be sure to do it tonight with some new logs with meth spraying. Planned on checking out the Wangan/Tatsumi Parking area as well as getting some pictures. Should be good times.

From my experience, say if a car takes x amount of timing on 98RON - on E85 or similar water/meth that particular load point at y rpm will take 4~5 degrees more timing and make more power and torque.

But very hard to say in your situation without a dyno.

I usually start with a flat timing map then add timing till I start to see less power gains throughout the RPM range, then I determine where max torque is achieved and where it starts to heavily decay. This is where timing can be added (from where the torque decays) and then same thing, see if the motor will take timing at that point onwards.

Usually if 1x degree of extra timing makes less than 5kW of power it's pretty much a sign to stop adding timing.

Take whatever I say as only information, every motor, every fuel combination, every tuner etc.. is different. Also a good way to preserve motors is to run it richer at peak torque. The cars I tune (mostly for friends) run about 11.5 AFR at peak torque then lean up to about 12afr all the way to redline (that's E85 converted to Gasoline scaling).

Appreciate the advice. When I get some money saved up I will go to the local turner down the street that has the dyno. He mostly does rotaries but all the Silvia and GTR guys have been going there as well and aren't complaining. Like to do what I can on my own until then even though I know I need to take it there.

I find that RBs don't like too much timing and generally "flat" because of the torque output of the motor is quite "flat" (a good thing).

For example (rpm vs. timing) on 98:

4000 - 20

4400 - 20

4800 - 20

5200 - 21

5600 - 21

6000 - 22

6400 - 22

6800 - 23

and so on...

however on E85 or water meth you can throw a few more up top to give it a more of a ramp

4000 - 23

4400 - 23

4800 - 23

5200 - 24

5600 - 24

6000 - 25

6400 - 26

6800 - 28

(those are arbitrary numbers I've made up, please don't use them)

hehe I won't. Also I'm an idiot and didn't have laptop charging so no logs in copilot or fcedit. I did do one lap on the c1 and used a gallon of meth.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
