If i know the answer......I will tell him till im black and blue and he wont believe me untill hes got 10 ppl that have said the saME THING....

hehe i dont really know hes progress 1 day his water pump and radiator is gone the next day he needs a comp test and the next day hes running high boost no probs.....??

i give up

I failed teaching the apprentice

theres no hope

I was told to get 6's but not resistor type.

In the past I have been told to use the exact same plugs that you recommended above ken.

When I think about it - he didn't specify ngk, so maybe i got things arse about (i.e. should have gone a colder plug).

I had a set of BCPR7's but I GAVE them to troy - otherwise they would be in the car now...

My car is birtually stock so i reckon i should be using stock plugs - end of story.

macka - i didn't come over because you couldnt guarantee me a shag, so i chose to stay home & take my chances

Yep but people get pissed off giving advice and being ignored, especially for every thing that looks like it's going wrong.

Boosted RB 26 found out about that.

Why would Hippy recommend a NON resistor when NGK itself says use them.

If he is using anything BUT NGK , find a new dyno shop.

Nissans do NOT like running anything else, especially Champion or Bosch.

your dreaming....

I meant at night anyway

jeez i gotta spell everything out!

If taht's an offer then thankyou and I retract everything I said about you to everybody at Niz's party.

But brownie points are there for the taking so will get some. Dinner and the movies I think.

Cheers

I better stop asking about plugs now before you tell me I ask too many questions & don't listen.

Just gets confusing when people tell you to do different things.

I'm gonna go get some BCPR7's tomorrow cos hendo told me they are the right plugs as well - that's why i bought the last set of them & I know they work.

btw - i thought they come in 11's (1.1mm gap) or with no number at the end which is 0.8mm???

Possibly but hey , I only went with what hendo told me.

I should check with Lumpy but won't be able to till Monday.

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
