Just remember, when warming up a car, you shouldn't be looking at the water temp. You should be looking at the oil pressure.

I set the 50c to 1 and forget about it. Those corrections are a pain in the bum. A lot of the drift guys here like to run 70c thermostats.

Yes well at the risk of splitting hairs I think the whole idea of cold enrichment is to make up for cold pistons chambers and valves absorbing initially a lot of combustion heat wchich pulls down the combustion temps and combustion pressure . More fuel means in theory more heat and when the internals heat up they don't rob as much heat from the combustion process .

I don't think the extra fuel is there to overcome cold oil drag unless the oil is a high viscosity dino oil and the outside temp is very cold .

For the record I just changed to Rotella 4T which is a 5w40 and I get no starting issues with EFlex E70 and the Datalogig showing around 10 deg water temp .

I just highly doubt coolant temps in the mid 70s indicate that an engine would need extra fuel .

Yes and I was wondering about those who chose to run cooler than std thermostats because in cold thempratures their engines may not even get to 80c .

marketing gimmick? oil needs to be at around 90 degrees to perform at its best, and like I mentioned before about the water/oil heat exchanger it's there for a reason to warm up the oil.

anybody running big cams on a 2.6 have their 'Accel vs TPS1' settings handy? Accelerate injector would be good too.

I'm getting a bad lean hesitation with a throttle stab near idle, and I can't seam to cure it with those settings. Only thing that works is to add fuel to the INJ table.

I think the heat exchanger is there to warm and cool but I suspect it has a say in cold start and warm up exhaust emissions and that what probably drove Nissan to provide it .

You'd think GTRs would have gotten oil radiators like Evos did but they got exchangers AFAIK too . Doubt the racers had exchangers .

hard to trade that table, unless someone has same cams, same injectors....

richen up the a/f on idle see if that helps.. I find cars that I've played around with running longer duration cams do not like stoich on idle

It actually idles nicely. Its the large throttle inputs right after idle that are a problem.

Black bn- if. Have an oversized theottle body it may be hard to get off idle throttle stabs correct,

Just have a play with the accell settings. Keep adding accell too see if it likes it

An RB26 would be very different with its individual throttles because the rise in manifold pressure would be fast and you need to toss a fair bit of fuel in to keep a reasonable AFR .

Its take a bit of getting head around but these computers have a unique idle setting state if you did the idle learning properly and you don't seem to get access to this even with Datalogit , not sure if you do with Apexis software .

I'm finding that you need to play around with the injection and timing tables just off idle where it changes to these map settings .

Its interesting to watch Datalogit in log mode so you know exactly where the engine is live .

I think its a juggle of how much innitial fuel comes from the accel settings and how much from the fuel table . ATM I have things a little richer in the 400 800 1200 areas while further up I leaned out the upper cells and pulled a bit of timing out to stop it popping on the overrun . I find the more you can get using the fuel table the better the consumption tends to be but don't forget to play around with timing settings as well .

I think there's limits to what can be done without a dyno and someone who knows what these engines like where timing wise .

Oops didnt read it was rb26.

thanks anyways, and yes i played with the accel settings quite a bit, but had no luck. ended up adding fuel to the base map. not a huge deal as this is a race car

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
