OK I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THE XF THROTTLE BODY I HAVE OPENS THE OPPOSITE WAY TO A STANDARD R33 ONE. THAT MEANS I CANT USE A STANDARD TPS , AND TO MAKE LESS HASSESLS WITH THE WIRING I WANT TO KEEP THE STANDARD TPS. ARE LARGER THROTTLE BODIES OVER REATED OR NECESSARY ON A 300 PLUS KW ENGINE

Well IMO. I think big throttle bodies are a waste of time. Especially on a GTR! Kier Wilson is still using the 6 standard throttle bodies in his 8 sec GTR. The 6 throttle bodies provide better response than a big single throttle body.

If you want a GTST in the 300-400kw mark I really think spending the money on other components of your car will be more advantageous.

But this is only my personal opinion!

Keirs is far from standard, and at that level it is more of a tuning preference. Keir can run the six throttle bodies and not notice the disadvantages as much as others might as it is a full blown drag car and only sees full throttle. I am not argueing against the standard nissan setup it it great but it limits you to power fc or a motec, plus with a big turbo you will be forced to run afms (again not a disadvantage but damn expensive) because you are basically stuck with a power fc when using 6 throttle and they are AFM computers. To answer you question a single throttle body isnt a nessisity as there is no restriction there standard its just a matter of preference. Myself I will be running a single throttle as I am running a maf based computer, also I am running a GT head cooling system which is very hard to do with the six throttle, it is a packaging thing.. Tell us more about your circumstances and people can give you more accurate answers.

What about an Autronic and Power FC pro?

plus with a big turbo you will be forced to run afms (again not a disadvantage but damn expensive) because you are basically stuck with a power fc when using 6 throttle and they are AFM computers.

If you are using a big turbo (or big sets of turbo's for that matter) are you only restricted to using air flow meters? It's a general rule that if you go the high mount turbo you should loose the AFM.

Also the Motec and Autronic units are far superior to the PFC. Both the Motec and Autronic can handle the 6 throttle bodies and do not require AFM.

I am sure there are advantages to going the big single as s13drifter said. However, I am yet to be convinced.

The fact of the matter is, nearly all quick track GTR's and quite a few quick drag cars retain the standard throttle body set up. Mines swears by the set up!

Please don’t think I'm trying to force my opinion on anyone I'm just stating my point of view.

OK WELL ITS A GTST R33 AND YEAH I HAVE A AFTERMARKET COMPUTER A HALTEC , BUT IT IS PIGGY BACKED ON THE STANDARD ECU. SO THE STANDARD ECU STILL CONTROLS THE IDLE SOLENOIDS AUXILARY AIR VALVE ALL THE IDLE CRAP , AND IT NEED THE STANDARD TPS TO RUN ALL THAT. YEAH I CAN REWIRE AND PUT ANOTHER TPS AND REWIRE AN AFTERMARKET IDLE CONTROL VALVE BUT I HAVE DECIDED TO RUN WITH ALL THE STANDARD IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM.

I HAVE A GT3540 ON THE SIDE OF IT.

HOPE THAT HELPS

Burko I think at the level of mods you have an aftermarket throttle body is a worth while investment and will provide benefits. Yes you ca run the standard item to x amount but the same thing can be said about a number of engine components. At your stage you have to eliminate restrictions for the best possible result!!!

Manage

When i said Power FC i meant the whole Apexi range. Autronic will still struggle to give you a good result and you need a good tuner with alot of experience to make the transition from tps on a multi throttled car to boost map a smooth one!!! As a side note the effects of these change overs are far less noticable on a laggier system say a big single or big twins as the turbo(s) build boost slower and the mapping can be done in longer intervals making it more subtle and easier to get around. When I said you need afms I was referning to the fact you would be running a PFC or Motec due to the fact you are still running 6 throttle,(hope that made sense), so no you dont need AFMS on all single turbo setups only if you are thinking of using 6 throttles, which in turn limits you to certain computers... It isnt a bad thing its just a point i was making. Yes the 6 throttle are great and dont pose restrictions etc, but as forementioned all the cars you are using as example are race bred and drag cars, and arent shy on the cash either, twin q45 afms dont bother them where they might bother us as the price for 2 is the same as a normal power fc. Also Motec and Autronic are great but far beyond the reach of your average enthusiasts, manage you raise good points and people should consider them, I am just providing some other schools of thought!!!

Hope this helps,

Daniel

Cool, thanks for clearing that up Daniel I see your point.

BUT I got to ask you a question. I just want your opinion. I'm not going to argue or anything I'm just interested.

For a GTR or GTST aiming for the 300-400rwkw mark is it necessary to use a big single throttle body?

im using stock throttle body, RB25DET.

no problems making good solid power at all.

They are fine.

GTR's... Leewah's car is using an Autronic... and amazingly enough its not using a single trottle body either :)

Im confident they are stock tb's too, if not slightly modded.

From what i understand its driven quite often daily in peak hour. no problems.

Cant argue with his car's power or times, or driveability.

Many ~400kw GTR's using stock tb, and many mid 350's 33-t stock tb also.

stock tb's are fine. Invest $$ elsewhere IMO

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
