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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
