100% duty cycle are you sure?

not 100% sure......running the same boost but using more fuel was the set up of my last tune (about a month ago), an I know then it was running 100% on full boost (was watching the hand controller) might take it for a bit of a road test over the weekend an find out.......well.....have someone else watch the controller, I of course, will have my eyes firmly set on the black top :(

what % would you assume they would be running? just out of interest

:mad:

I'm not exactly sure about duty cycles but I do remember that you should aim for a max of 85% duty cycle.

Over that and you run the risk of failure or possible lean out should the air be cool. :mad:

100% means the injectors are constantly open. Thats not good.

yeah, i know 100% aint good. But injectors a big $$$ an wallets running on empty, so it'll have to do for a few months, just wont be pushing it on high boost much (DEBC onto low (9psi) boost for most driving)

But XR6 turbos need to be put in there place :mad: hehe j/k

Point the video camera at the Commander, slow motion/freeze frame play back is great for picking up stuff that happens too fast or the observer didn't notice. :(

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
