yeah was a bit much. He charged me for 3 and a half hours labour and 1 hour on the dyno.

Said he had some problems with the boost settings i wanted and it took him ages to fix and he had to fab some sort of T piece. ****ed if i know. paid him anyway.

Here are the results:

Note that this is run on 95RON fuel which is the best we can get down here and without any additives.

Looking at the dyno graph (particularly the A/F ratios) it's a pretty good job. Personally I don't mind paying a bit extra for a proper result.;)

PS; not only did he do a go job tuning but it also shows how good the algorithm in the SAFC is for extrapolating between the load points. Who needs more load points when it is that good. :aroused:

yeah, i'm quite happy. the car delivers the power a lot smoother now.

I would have liked a bit more power. That dyno was run at 10psi.

He said we could squeeze more out of it if we had optimax down here as then he could advance the timing a little. As it is i don't think he advanced it at all.

Mine on 95ron with stock everything was unable to run any more ignition timing as it would ping.

Popped the 98 RON in and I was able to throw in 6degree's more ignition timing.

The good fuel will come. :D

When I first bought my R32 only a small number of servo's had 98ron. Everything else was the plain on 'Premium'

Does the SAFC need be tuned for hot and cold weather, or can they be tuned in any weather and then the Std ECU deals with the changes in temperature?

The Std ECU deals with the changes in temperature:cheers:

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
