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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
