hi all

just wanting to know a rough figure on how much a dyno tune would cost for a rb20det with a fmic and 2.5" exhaust as the only mods...

its got a very rich idle and leans out fairly quickly up the top...

just did a conversion, so a tune is in need...

also, any places around Hurstville that can be recommended for it?

thanks

"...STANDARD POWER RUN - $80.00

OPTIONAL EXTRA'S

3 runs are performed, this includes logging and graphing of the following parameters through the rev range, which is also stored on our computer.

Manifold pressure (Boost)

Power graph in Kw or HP

Air Fuel Ratio

Torque

...."

DYNO TUNING - $140/HOUR

Dyno time for diagnosis, tuning or tidy up tune of aftermarket computers and controllers if engine is modified, for example tuning Super AFC etc.

this is an answer, but not the answer to my question...

i dont have any aftermarket computers... only the stock one

All that can be done is optimise the base timing .

Any air fuel change or timing map change would require a rechip or burn of your existing computer.

Don't know about the East but we charge around $650-$800 fitted and dyno tuned for the R32GTS-T.

cheers

warpz0r, As Ken says, you currently have nothing to tune, other than adjusting the CAS for base timing. Best to do a power-run to determine whether your current setup is running safely, after that then choose either an SAFC, remap or full computer.

I highly recommend unique autosports too.

I recently had my car up on their dyno (had just installed a front mount intercooler). It didn't make as much power as it should've so they tried to diagnose and fix the problem. They did :)

check out the thread:

i guess i might have to buy a s-afc from jaycar... they fit in my budget.. haha

because idle is a little rough but very rich, and it leans out fairly early when driving...

maybe exhaust sensor?

The standard lambda sensor does nothing at large throttle openings, under acceleration. Constant speed cruise and idle are the closed loop parameters. Almost all RB20/25/26's run rich when you run more boost, fit a FMIC, upgrade the exaust etc. If it is truly leaning out, then I suspect fuel supply problems( pump, filter, fuel pressure regulator). A fuel pressure check on the dyno will identify this.

My recommendation, have the base igntion timing checked and get a power run done on the dyno and look closely at the A/F ratios and the fuel pressure. That will tell you what the potential problems are. Go to a club dyno day and it will cost $50 or so, the best money you will spend.

Hope that helps

fixed the problem!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuel filter was the culprit!

went down to supercheap, got a fuel filter, put it on, let the car warm up and pressurize, gave her a few bursts of the throttle and didnt hear any stutters or anything...

took her down the street and wow... ive never driven a turbo car before, but with a 2.5" exhaust and fmic, its so noisy...

thanks everyone for your help

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
