Hey guys,

Im wondering if anyone will be able to help me out at all.

On the weekend I will be installing a Power FC into my car (R33 S1). Has anyone got a ignition map they have used in their R33 and are happy with, and can I please get a copy of it, this way I have a good starting point.

I was after a map that is on a car that has a bigger then standard turbo running at least 12psi, as this is a setup I will be going for.

Regards,

Cristian

Umm you'll have to get it tuned. Even if someone had the exact same setup as you their map won't necessarily work for you.

Every car is different, the only area it will be very similiar is the light load areas of the map.

Do a quick map trace and see what load point it drops to.

Go to that area of the map and drop ignition timing to around 15degree's. This will prevent it pinging. Just to be safe. From memory you will be running insane ignition timing at WOT, not good for a high comp rb25det. :)

Drive it and get it tuned. :P

Will there be ignitoin map in the Power FC to start with?

If not, how can I do a "map trace"

I thought that If i could get a already proved map, I can adjust to what suits the car best, I thought this way awas better then re-inventing the wheel.

It will be tuned professionally.

I didnt realise that there was a map to start with, as when you do most other aftermarket ECU's for cars, you have to start from sracth.

That's why the PFC is so popular, all the base stuff is loaded, plug it in and turn the key. Drive it gently to get tuned.:P

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
