Cheers Gary, good to hear. Would installing this DFA possible sort out my R&R problem? At 70% throttle at 5000rpm I hit a very viscous jerk that flings me forward then a second later the car accelerates only to have it happen again. I'm assuming this is R&R?

At flat throttle I can feel a few flat spots as well that basically makes the car feel very slow. Nothing as viscous as the scenerio above but noticable enough to realise that you aren't making full potential power. What could this be and could the DFA possible fix this as well?

Thanks!

What you are describing is not R&R. I hit that same wall of sorts at about 5000rpm, as well as my friend with an R34. It seems to be a combination of high boost on less that WOT. We are totally unsure what it is. DFA will do nothing for this.

R&R is a flat spot between about 4-5.5krpm, a DFA can help to alleviate most of this.

Hi SK'

i was wondering if you had any suggestions to my probablem. basically i bought a already built EBC and hand controller off some guy. But when i hooked it up, i didnt get any display, i opened it up and found out that a 10 ohm resister had blown, well i replaced it, and everything was fine, then later in the day, the display went out and the EBC stopped working, opened it up again, and saw the same resistor blown.

do you have any idea's why this might be happening

thank you

I was blowing a certain resistor too, replaced it and then found it was stuck on load point 64.

I blew another EBC too when i found it was switching between H/L too slowly that caused it.

I am just about to tune the EBC, DFA, SITC all together to make me ~200awkw.

At the moment, I have the EBC already in, tuned to run about 13psi. The DFA will make its way in within the next two weeks, the same with the SITC.

My question is as follows: At current, my EBC is set to 13psi, which is what I normally run during the day, BUT, some nights it will go all the way up to 15-16psi. This is on nights when its really really cold and im in the mountains (not just hills).

So, leading on from that, would you suggest I use an EBC that is more able to "measure" boost, and hold accordingly, such as a ProfecB or something? Or, if I get the car tuned with the EBC/DFA/SITC it shouldnt matter if my boost increases 1-2psi at night?

Mods: Full exhaust, TRUST front mount, GCG highflow.

i have noticed that this particular resistor get really hot when i connect the hand control, but without it, it stays cool and doesnt blow. any other suggestions anyone

i cant tell you if a short circuit or incorrect circuit design is causing it, but u can replace that resistor with either 2 resistors of the same kind (ie same W rating) in parallel, with double the value (which then brings it back to original value, but it can handle twice the Watts), or a single wirewound resistor of same value.

2 resistors is better as it will hopefully still blow if u have some issue (a wirewound would cause something else to blow instead)

this should only be done if the cause of the resistor blowing is it simply cant handle the current - i havent had any issues with mine (used hc twice to tune dfa)

None of the other IEBC's display this symptom. The denser air (your night example) is measured by the AFM and consequently the ECU adds the necessary fuel to compensate. This additonal fuel is noted by the IEBC and, provide you have it mapped correctly, will adjust the solenoid duty cycle to compensate. So you have a couple of choices;

1. Don't worry about it, the turbo will handle 1.5 bar easily, as will the engine. Just make sure the tuner is aware of the extra boost and tunes accordingly.

2. Fine tune the IEBC to allow for the higher injector duty cycle.

:D cheers :)

sounds like it was only tuned up to what was reachable on the day it was tuned? - you probably want to fill in the remaining ones with a guess/continuation of the last cells number (adjusting it up/down for whichever is lower boost if u want to be sure)

sounds like a good idea, i might wire two in parrallel

thanks

have another problem guys.

well i sorted the heating problem.

but for some reason i only have about 1-6 tunning points. ie at 5000 im at tunning point 4 instead of say 30 or 40.

do these things work with microtechs? i wire the input to the negative side of the injector, becuase thats what pulses the injector (the microtech grounds it)

any help is much much appreciate

thanks

sounds like it hasnt been calibrated right?

you may be right,

do you know how i would calibrate it, i think it has something to do with trimpot VR1, but other then that i wouldn't have a clue. im going crazy with this thing.

Help me please!!!

(p.s if you in brissy an know how to calibrate this thing, i will buy beers or of 6 pack of choice if you come over and fix this thing)

bugger brisboy - I cal'ed mine in Sydney and left it there with the car and instructions to pick up in the next month or so or I would come and help you out!

It really isn't difficult but there are 3 places you need to check voltages at, and cal accordingly. If someone with the instructions could scan them (or just that page) I reckon you could do it within 10mins.. just need a multimeter, 12dcv source (car battery) and a spare 50ohm (I think it was) potentiometer..

If the current group buy turns up before Christmas I'll let you know cause I've got another one on order, all the info and pot will be in there..

thanks mate, any help is much appreciated. i did find the vr1 adjustment thing, where you can alter it with a scew driver. however if i screw it the opposite way, the input number goes to 64 and if i wind it back a bit, the numbers become erratic and jump all over the place srew it back even more, and it square one, hardly any tunning points. Im wondering if i need to build a peak hold adaptor or something like that.

if anyone can scan or point me in the directions of these calibration intruction i would be extremely grateful.

I am in the middle of fitting a Jaycar IEBC. I found SK's Pin locations and am upto wiring solenoid (black earth). I have done all the connections at the computer. I had previously earth solenoid for high boost. Do I remove that earthed wire, then cut wire at computer (pin 104), to run solenoid earth straight to IEBC? Any helpers to clearup please or should I PM SK?

All hooked up. Runs upto 8lbs as it did with high boost mod. Number 2 led flickers and no. 3 stays on when running. No. 2 the sus one. Installed SK's load points to start with. Does anybody know were the resricter is in the S2 solenoid lines and what sizes. Has anybody successfully fitted a IEBC to a S2 following SK guide. Not bagging SK guide, just wondering if any difference for S2 because 22 pages will take awhile to read through.

tip #69 - dont assume a load point listing from someone elses car will be perfect for yours. same reason you dont wear your sisters clothes (well one of the reasons) is that they wont always be a perfect fit.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
