I wanted to tell you guys about my results

My car is 1988 cefiro

rb20det

stock turbo, stock intercooler, blitz BOV, 3" exhaust from dump back, electronic boost controller, walbro fuel pump, pod plus intake. running 1 bar

before the ecu was chipped by toshi it was putting out 170rwhp and pinging. it seemed to run OK but was not as quick as i thought it should be.

Toshi took all my mods into account and remalled ignition and fuel. He also removed the speed cut and boost cut.

we put the chip in the ecu and did another run. The car sounded a lot better exhaust note. The results were 215rwhp.

Thats a 45HP increase! and the car dosent ping anymore!.

the peak power is great but the biggest difference you notice is the huge increase in torque/power in the midrange.

The car now feels awsome to drive and is now quicker than my mate's wrx :throwup: haha!

to anyone who wants their car tuned and running at its best get toshi to mod your ecu for you its the cheapest performance upgrade you will make and your air/fuel ratio will be correct.

we could have got 20more rwhp out of it according to toshi if we pushed it upto 1.1bar but i didnt like the chances of the turbo livivng very long at that boost level.

dyno sheet coming...

fuel economy is slightly better than before. becuase at default settings most skylines/cefiros run rich.

as for tuning in real time no.

he comes with you and organises a dyno run. he looks at the A/F ratios and other stuff and burns an eprom on site on does another run untill the chip is correct for the car.

so bacically the chip is custom made for your car and tuned properly.

it cost me $250.

that included toshi coming to the dyno place and burning a chip on site and then doing another dyno run to make sure it was perfect.

he even gave me a copy of my stock chip so i can run it in factory tune if i like.

A mate of mine here in WA does realtime tuning to Nissan factory ECUs using an emulator and also reads off the consult port etc. Works extremely well. I shall be getting my ECU done soon too. Also realtime means you can change maps instantly, not burn a map, run the car, remod the map on the PC and reburn it.

JK

Talk to toshi. he will book the dyno for you and you can meet him there. I used the dyno for a total of 17 runs and it cost me $80 The place to get the dyno work done is Procar. its on the northen beaches in sydney.

Cheers!

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
