I drove 1500km to get to the dyno and the car had developed a high idle after about 1200km of driving that day. Prior to that it was 1100 cold, 850-900 once warm. But when I got down to be tuned it was 1100 all the time. Not lumpy, just a smooth 1100. I couldn't be 100% that it was checked or it was assumed to be correct.

Whatever the case may be, I'm back in the middle of nowhere with little in the way of options other than to drive back down there or truck it. Not like I can just drop it off at a workshop for the day. Either that or fly someone here to look it over.

Surely there is someone there local that can help you find a vacuum leak, hoses, gaskets especially the inlet manifold gasket maybe try pressurising it through your intercooler with the car off see if you can hear leaks or try http://www.sau.com.au/forums/index.php?/topic/110431-Diy-Aac-Valve-Cleaning-&-Idle-Reset.

And please tell me you didn't drive your car for that distance on the power fc base map

No it wasn't base map, it had been tuned a year ago and had been adjusted via the hand controller using my wideband recently.

Finding a vac leak isn't an issue, having it re-tuned is. I traveled halfway across the country and may well have to do it again.

Standard cas. He said it would only take 7 degrees and was expecting 12 or more. Power does seem low for the turbo but torque seems to be ok. Car made 263rwkw and 750nm of torque. Mainline dyno.

I'll have to pull the dump off and check that out Tao. If that's the case, I will drag out the die grinder and open it up a little and make sure it's all nice and smooth.

Thats about right, we have had a few on pump not able to crack 270, same thing timing limited. It works mint on E85 but unless you have a killer exhaust manifold and cooler it will struggle.

Might be time for an exhaust manifold and bigger exhaust then if that's the case.

Thanks for your input.

Tap a fitting into ex manifold and measure the pressure, i bet its crazy high

Have purchased datalogit, just going to source some knock detection gear and see what is what I guess. I'm going to throw some more fuel in at wot, even if it is "rich", I'll feel better for it. And the amount of time is spend in that region it won't hurt my economy much.

Lol I have no doubt you'd be right there

For reference I have an Hypergear SS2, standard manifold opened up and port matched, bell mouth dump opened up and port matched as close as possible, 200cell cat and 2 straight through mufflers in 3 inch piping and I get 0.5psi back pressure max. I pulled heaps of metal out of the bell mouth entry. Well worth a look at yours to rule that out.

Cheers. Yeah when I get some time I'll pull everything off and whip out the die grinder. Exhaust only has a mid muffler and rear cannon. Was considering removing the mid muffler or replacing it with something that is documented to flow more than I need. I'm willing to got 3.5 inch cat back if that's what it takes. I'm not worried about noise, as long as it doesn't drone

We're not talking about back pressure in the exhaust pipe. We're talking in the MANIFOLD. On a street car you will find it will be up to double the boost pressure.

I realised after posting that's what Trent would have meant, I saw the comments about the dump pipe and misunderstood.

Still have an issue with having to hold the throttle open on cold start for it not to die, I'm thinking this may be an iacv adjustment that'll fix that

That's pretty poor form from a tuner.

Could also be mixture related, once you get a wideband on, it should provide you with more insight on what's going on.

Close to stoich or stoich on a cold motor, will stall, too rich on a cold motor will stall.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
