i'd be keen to see a dyno graph of your auto R32 making 160rwkw ;)

i made 132rwkw with the auto rb20 having 3"dump/front/cat-back (stock cat), FMIC, 12psi, chipped ecu (AFRs were 10-10.5 though), rb26 cams, and panel filter with CAI

i thought the auto robbed some power out of it personally but you seemed to do nicely!

EDIT: actually i just noticed in another thread that you have the MV automatics shift kit in your auto box as well... was this put in after the 140rwkw run?  

would this have contributed to the dyno figure or is it purely gear changes as the name would imply?

To be precise, it was 167.8 rwkw. I don't have the dyno sheet scanned yet, but I'll post it up as soon as I do.

The shift kit only affects the gear changes.

I had 137 rwkw, before the shift kit and intercooler, but it was running very lean. Once I changed the pump the A/F ratios went to 11.5 and 130 rwkw. 144rwkw was the figure after the intercooler. All the above figures are on stock boost.

Who chipped your Auto ECU? What was done on it? Fuel, ignition? That is my next mod but I'm unsure if it will affect gear changes!

i had it done in melb at a place called chipcontrol (www.chipcontrol.com.au)...

it was written by someone else for someone else's car (the guy who's car it was written for was shivam, called 'deorbit' on the forums). he told me about it and it only cost $150 to get it done, so meh. obviously it was written for a different setup that's why i run rich

shifts have not changed at all, and as far as i was aware the auto features are not affected by the chip, only fuel and ignition or whatever it is written for...

hmmmm so you're making good power with the auto box, what's up with my setup?

I wasn't happy with my setup until I got it tuned.

The mods are: pod filter, full 3 " exhaust, R33 turbo and intercooler. 144 rwkw on stock boost. The car has done 155K kms and it's Auto. I don't belive the auto box loses much power compared to manual.

Currently I'm running 14 psi and 167.8.

Don't forget, Dyno is only a tuning tool. In a week or 2 I will take my car to Croydon for a retune and to confirm the power it's making.

I think quite a number of cars have issues with ignition at revs higher than 4500rpm. Weak spark at more demanding rpm and load usually shows up as a flatening off of the power curve. There is not necessarily a 'miss' that gives this away, usually that occurs once the coil leakage has reached a point where you can see a little spark jumping about and there is a visable crack on the coil. Next time you change the spark plugs notice how heat effected the wiring is to the coils , it cops alot of abuse not just from the heat but also from the movement associated with plug changes. The heat makes the wiring brittle.

The other difference is the fact that a dyno does not create a rolling road environment. Where things like altitude and moving air can be faithfully replicated. More attention to how air flows into the airbox gets better results in real racing environments. Some times this is a disadvantage on the dyno when the fan doesn't get the airflow directed the same way as the cars areodynamics create at speed when air is say 'rammed' into the duct created. If your tune doesn't create this environment well enough then what might appear to be a good tune for power at the dyno with it's airflow characteristics may not suit the real world and you can easily end up with a little 'power hole' down at the track.

Fine tuning your car on the dyno is best done with the bonnet 'down'.

Mine is a Auto and only made 120rwkw but 478Nm @ 98Km/h :confused: that was done in second with the snow button on so it started in second and stayed in second. From 65Km/h to 80Km/h it sat on 110rwkw.

A manual SS crueman was on before me and I made more talk then him :confused:

For a power run in a Auto how should you do it leave it in second and use the snow button like I did? let it run through the gears like normal, use the power button?

i don't know exactly...

the tuner/dyno operator should know what they are doing...

It's all bloody confusing the dyno graph I have starts at about 31km/h and reads about 65rwkw and about 840Nm of torque, if I had a scanner I would put it up. In stead of both the torque and kw starting from the bottom the torque starts up the top and the kw starts down the bottom and the finally meat @ 98km/h where it finishes.

I took a pic of it with my dig camera to give you an idea.

Its sposed to be done in third, what they do is put power mode on and accelerate till it gets to 3rd then give it more throttle to hold in 3rd and rev out

but most places do it in 2nd, which i dont like all that much cos hitting redline in a selected gear gets autos very hot

Mine was done in third. O/D off and accelarate till it hits the 3rd and off we go. If it drops back, start again   :rofl:

BTW. I took my car to Eastern Creek last nite and ran 14.02 @ 102.26. 60' - 2.408.

R32 Auto sedan    :rofl:

nice work! :rofl:

should start another thread for R32 auto drag times... see what others have done

what's the weight of the sedan compared to coupe?

did you stall it up before takeoff?

did you run it throught the gears, or just left it in D?

stock suspension?

much wheelspin?

Warren.

Is your car grey? I was their last night, afew 32 and 33's.

You have potential for a mid 13sec pass, seeya at WSID next week :rofl:

Yeah, it's the dark grey 4 door without the front bar

It was my first time so I didn't know what to expect. First run was 14.3 and stalled up to 1000. Second and third I just wasn't ready when it turned green so ran simillar times. On the fourth run I stalled it around 2000 RPM and got 14.02. 60' is still something I need to work on and if I improve it I should be able to get into 13s with this setup.

I had it in D for all the runs with the Power mode on and O/D off. There was some wheelspin but not too much.

Unknown suspension. Possible stock (looks very high)

benm - I see you have about the same time as me but with a way better 60'. What car are you driving and how much power does it make?

    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 馃槂
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
    • Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
