Well, I have had it in for almost a week now.

Anyone got any hints on what I can do to it before I take it to the tuner.

The whole "It will detonate its ass off" is one big myth.

I put 95 Ron Premium in my car (best we have in Mackay) and run it, and I get 5% knock out of 100% which is most likely just engine movement in the bay.

Anyways, anything I should look at? That is simple? I am a complete noob to tuning and don't want to blow my car up.

I have -

3 Inch Split Stainless Dump and Front pipe all in one (custom by mate)

3 - 4 Inch Through the high flow cat and to the cannon

FMIC

Stainless Steel Pipe to Pod Filter and turbo

Blowoff Valve is plumbed back

Apexi AVCR at 10PSI

Car runs good, but sounds like its running rich as. Not sure though.

dont forget the commander is only picking up what the sensor tells it to

check its working perfectly

not saying its not, but after a hard fang on 98 octane i get anywhere between 10-30 knock on the commander, my knock sensor is working perfectly and my engine is very healthy

food for thought :P

well, I put BP 95 Ron in and it knocked up to about 30%

Then put Shell 95 in and it only knocked to about 10%

Got any hints for a little self very basic tuning?

well... Removed the Blowoff valve return hose and blocked it up, and the car started blowing heaps of black smoke (running mega rich) and then when I put it back on, the car wouldn't rev any higher than 2000 rpm before stalling.

Had to reset the PowerFC and idle tune it again. Car runs fine again.

Can someone explain why it does this, and tell me a work around this blow off valve misshap?

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
