G'day all.

I got my car retuned yesterday at ICE performance in Cheltenham, Melbourne, and after 7 runs on the dyno we took her up to 255.6rwkw which is slightly more than last time. The fuel map was clean up a little and reduced the ingnition timing by 1 degree just to counteract some detonation i was getting... With the current tune the car feels alot stronger, especialy off the bottom.

Yesterday was quite warm in melbourne (35degrees) and i had the car tuned at 10:30am just so we could beat the heat. Nigel from Ice told me just to keep and eye on it for the first couple of runs on a cold night just incase the car reacts alot more than expected because of the tuning specs.

Very happy with the result!!

im running 1 bar boost

specs as follows

RB25DET (Serviced Every 5000km with Castrol Formula R Synthetic 10W60)

HKS Air Filter

Custom 3" Exhaust Cat-Back

Race Pace 3" High Flow Cat

Just Jap 3" Dump/Front Pipe

HKS GT2535 Turbo

HKS Front Mount Intercooler 600x300x75

RacePace Boost controller 14psi

HKS Actuator

GTR Fuel Pump

and tuned by Race Pace and ICE performance

Nigel from ICE also commented on how nice and tight this engine feels for a stock engine. He was very impressed

Surely u have some sort of aftermarket management?

Any nice power, exactly what i'm chasing. I've got everything u have except the turbo and boost....so cant wait.

How does the car respond with that turbo...on how many psi? Laggy?

My car runs 1 bar boost which is 14.7 psi

It has a Apexi power FC with hand controller. 2535 turbo isnt too laggy... goes like stink though.. If i drop it back into 3rd gear at 90kmh-100kmh there wouldnt be much on the road that could catch me....

Not that i speed though ;-)

Just came back from a run in the cold air to see how she would go... I will have to through her back on the dyno... she pulled 72 knock at 5500rpm which it never did before prior to the tune. Nigel said that i should keep an eye on it the first time out because we did tune it in rather warm tempretures so it was to be expected.

72 Knock at 5500rpm you say ?? are you sure that it was not a knock from backing off ? those knock sensors are pretty sensitive.. I sometimes get knock that high when i back off the throttle...

Does it do it while accelerating or right when u back off? how many times has it done it ?

What injectors are you running and what fuel regulator and what injector duty are you running ?

You wouldnt have the time to write up 2 excel spread sheets with your ignition and fuel maps? would interesting to compare them with my RB30DET maps

Shouldn't you get less knock with lower temperatures?

Do you have aftermarket injectors?

Don't think so....

The colder it is, the more dense the oxygen is in the air, which means more oxygen gets pushed into the cylinders with the same amount of fuel...

more oxygen, to same amount of fuel = knock?

Yes the colder it is, the more dense it is, but the AFM also measures this increase in density (ie flow) so more fuel is injected to compensate.

The real reason is that hot intake temperatures make the mixture more detonation prone due to the air/fuel mix unable to remain stable and hence brings on detonation.

95% arrgh, install an adjustable fuel pressure reg- up the pressure slightly and bring the duty cycle back under 90%.

5500rpm is where peak torque is made, If you find it knocks more so in 4th and more again in 5th- definately upgrade the fuel system.

Or sell it to me for a good price and i'll do it =)

Its for Sale

Good to see another HKS 2535 equipped RB25 making 250rwkw+. Join the club :)

It's a great turbo. I have similar mods but was running higher injector duty at lower boost :confused: My bosche 910 pump is supposedly rated higher than the GTR pump in terms of flow, plus i have an adjustable fuel reg so i'm a little perplexed. Good on you though on a great result. Anyone looking for a bloody fast street car, this would be good buying!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
