Oh - and btw - When you've got a really modified motor (like mine), you're right - most of the maps do need to be fiddled with.

Although - most of it you can fix by playing with the air flow trim...

We plugged a wide band lambda sensor into my exhaust and drove my car around for a cpl of hours to get my part throttle stuff nice and lean... 14.0 @ cruise at 60->110. So if I'm not giving it stick, it's still fairly good on the gas.

What's your power delivery like? Have you got a dyno graph at all?

Cheers,

matt

I can tell it you takes a LONG time :)  

I had two PowerFCs, and I copied *ALL* settings from one PowerFC to the other for troubleshooting... I got out the laptop, and fired up Excel :(

I sat there for three hours with my cousin reading out every single point on both ignition and fuel maps, as well as all other settings in the PFC...

I was ready to kill someone after doing that... ARGH!!!

Then I had to plug in the other PowerFC and copy all the data in the spreadsheet into the new PowerFC, which took even longer... About 4 hours....

Worst thing was, that there was nothing wrong with the original PowerFC, so all that was done in vain :)

matlowth (matt1) & whatsisname (matt2), have you guys got webpages up with your mods and photos of your cars? It's good to see other more *properly* modified R33 GTS-ts running around... Pity we all live in different cities! :(

Here's mine: actually I don't want everyone knowing my car... I'll PM you guys the URL

edit: Mine is the white one obviously... Don't mind the GTR badges, they're there to cover screw holes from the previous owner until I can source a new bootlid :)

I must've missed your URL?

No mate I don't have a webpage. I'll get around to setting one up one day.

There's actually quite a few well set up GTS25t's, it's just that most of them you never read/see about.

mightymax,

Sorry to hear of your Microtech woes. Lucky for me I haven't experienced any of your dramas in the months I've been up & running with the LT12.

Sly (Allan),

G'day mate. Yeah sure I'd be happy to go for a drive :D provided it's dry!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
