Surplize modapuckers lol

This happened today, driving back from work like a normal person. Doesn't happen when I drive like a complete knob, or launch it at 4k.

Anyhow tried off and turning it off and on, that didn't help ?

So headed out to pick up the missus in this shit box, and spanked the limiter, she didn't like it.

Typical German car

Lol yeah but considering it's not even 1.5 years old with 17xxx kms on it, it's a joke!

Modern German cars have a system built into the BMCs and CAN that turn on one of a set of random errors each 18 months for the life of the car to ensure you get rid of it and buy a brand new one just after warranty finishes.

It’s why as cool as I think the golf r is I’d never own one, I’d look at either an sti or the Hyundai i30N

Man my back is sore lol. A fixed bucket seat, semis, several solid suspension arms, rock hard suspension but yeah ended up doing over 450km today. 1.5 tanks of fuel later ?

Good drive with @PLYNX and my mate in his R33.

Okay, admittedly it was pretty fun and first time I've actually stretched the new setup with a lousy tune. Shoots flames, 11:1 afrs, lazy 10 to 12 degrees of timing but it is wanting to light up 255 Nankang AR-1 semi slick tyres. Still need to swap out thr gate spring to a softer spring, running a 4 port solenoid and with a 1bar spring there's very limited resolution, kept spiking and hitting engine protection.

I'm sorry I missed the run.

 

I've spent the day yelling at people and driving back from sunny Singo

 

Glad your beastie got to stretch its legs.

 

What's next for the 33, back in the garage for a spell?

Umm no idea to be honest, I said I'll try go once a month with @PLYNX but knowing my life, even that would be hard to achieve.

 

And here's a dose video and some gate, wallah swear to god I didn't use the photo illegally (didn't talk or text or use social media) lol

What spring are you planning to swap to and what max boost are you chasing? 

0.5 bar and will run up to 2 bar.

At the moment trying to command 1.3 to 1.4bar is very challenging. Every 1% to 2% change in duty cycle is jumping 0.1 to 0.3 bar of boost. By dropping the spring you end up with higher resolution. Just some idiosyncrasies with running a 4 port. Running a 3 port but across both ports on the gate is a simpler solution which allows decent control too, but I wanted to try out a 4 port setup, so here I am lol.

Can't for the life of me think why it would be showing signs of fatigue or damage ;) 

Well it's there to use right? lol.

"The brightest candle burns twice as fast" 

That's why people run boosted engines, to get twice the atmospheric pressure :)

Another solution I've come up with for another car I tune which granted, we've not tested yet - and I don't know how flexible the Halaltech is with settings and available outputs, but we're running 2 MAC valves and running one of them against a fixed PWM look up table to "bring up the base pressure", then use conventional boost control to drive the second one as an effort to retain 3-port style table granularity but give a 4-port style boost range.

Interesting, is that similar to how anti-phasing works? I hear that terminology thrown around a bit however given we aren't in race cars or F1 cars I've never bothered to read further nor investigate further.

4x port was already going into another level for me haha...

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
