ATTENTION: NOOB Question!

Im gettin a fmic next weekend and was just wondering if its worth goin on a dyno for a tune. Only mods at the moment are POD filter exhaust and runnin 10psi, but once the cooler goes on im gonna run 12psi. Just thought i might wack it on a dyno just to get it tuned properly so it runs really nicely. Is this possible with the stock ECU?

Thanks in advance

Not really no,

But you can reset the ecu after installing the front mount and it will self learn everything over again.

Do this buy disconecting the battery and pumping the brake pedel a couple of times and reconnecting again. After starting car let it idle for a couple min's then turn the a/c on and let it idle for another few min, then take it for a drive.

hope that helps

:)

Yeah i was told about this, but i dont want to disconnect the battery because it will reset the alarm as well which is not somehting i want to do as its a pretty razy alarm and re programming it or whatever u have to do would not be a 5 second job to say the least

Only to check your A/F ratios to get them running around 12.5 under full boost, The only real way you can change this is to change the ammount of boost your running.

eg: You carnt alter the fuel maps, so the fuel is set as standard so you have to get the right boost pressure to make sure you arent leaning it out, this could mean you have to runs less boost to get the a/f ratios right, untill you can afford a bigger fuel pump.

If you wanna get something like a SAFC to start with.

Should be able to get one reasonably cheap 2nd hand. They can be dyno tuned.

I had one (sold now), I was running 10psi like youself, with pod and full 3" exhaust.

No front mount though

Before tune, 1st run, it was 154 rwkws.

After, it was 177 rwkws.

So about $300 for the SAFC and i paid $150 for an hour dyno tune at Unigroup.

I ended up selling the SAFC and installed it on a mates car.

He got it tuned too and got 176 rwkws. Definatley worth looking into and easily saleable when you wanna upgrade.

I now have a Power FC but am putting of the install until i get the front mount done.

Hopefully get around the 190 mark if i also increase to 12psi. Hmmmm, yummy

Hey i have an r33 gtst, with the following mods; Kakimoto cat back exhaust, intercooler, CES double dumps and front pipe, Hi-flowed cat, 500hp fuel pump, blitz pod, heavy duty clutch and running 10psi. With these few mods my car makes 193.7rwkw's in shootout mode 04. The fellas at Apc are the ones who do most of the work on my car, and recomend gettin a dyno run/tune just to adjust timing and boost and obviously to check air/fuel ratios are good. So a dyno tune/run can be a good thing, even though u are limited by the stock computer.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
