Hi,

As the title suggests I am having a little trouble with my tune on a rb25det with a gt30 bolted on. Mods are as follows:

all supporting fuel mods, pfc Pro, zaust cam gear 3' neg, 3 inch zaust etc etc etc... Oh yea, running 19.5 psi...

The A/F ratios are just below 12:1 but so close you could say 12:1...

after we got the fuel right we started to add timing, but once we hit about 245 kw she started to ping badly, Big Carl had the same setup and made 260 kw... I cant think why I am experiencing this pinging, possible reasons are:

bad fuel?

oil in the intake piping?

F*ck, I dont know :D

any ideas why I am experiencing this pinging? We did not get a chance to wind much timming into it due to the pinging...

Would it be better to add a little more fuel to allow for more timming?

UPDATE:

Just spoke with my tuner, I was wrong about the A/F Ratio's. They are actually about 11.6:1 which is ritcher than I figured. Also on a power run it seems that the knock is happening at 6,000 rpm at full boost. Had a look at the map trace and I think we are only talking about 3 or so cells of timming that are causing the knock.

If I amend those ignition cells and the knock goes away is it safe to lean it off to say 12:1 and would this make much difference to the power produced? (I am not worried about the final figure on the dyno, I was just expecting more mid range than the tune currently produces).

Experiment with pulling 1 degree timing out when she starts to ping. Trace with the Map trace or you can do it easy with the settings -1 timing but that will pull one degree out everywhere and you dont want that.

Going from 11.6 to 12.0 is not going to make much difference at the wheels

Good luck

cheers,

Yea I have taken -1 out of the entire map just to see if 1 deg would make a difference and it did so now I just have to isolate to cells at around 6000 rpm causing the knock and take a degree out or two.

I would expect, leaning it out a little would make some difference...

i thought retarding the exhaust cam gear was more beneficial?

It might be retarded, now you have confussed me???? I know that it made a benifical difference when I put it on so I must have it right :(

Actually now that I think about it, it was neg 3 deg :P

are you referring to the lack of midrange problem re: injector lag time wrong? or something else. try a dyno run with the dump pipe / exhaust dropped off. see how the midrange compares. may find the exhaust is too restrictive

The lag time won't be an issue as you have tuned the car at the current setting.

With a similar setup i found about a 3rwkw loss dropping mixtures from 12.4 to 11.9 with no other changes.

Out of interest, what sort of response does it have? Any dyno sheet?

Just noticed you are running an rb25 exhaust housing. They are pretty small and may be restricting the flow, but on the up side improved response.

I thought the internal gate gt30 hybrids were using vg exhausts?

Arr, so I am not going to get to much power from leaning off then... The response is not bad. I get full boost (19 psi) at about 4000 rpm.

I will post the dyno sheet tomorrow...

Thanks for all the replies, Oh yea: I just changed the ignition cells that were causing the issues and it seems to have solved the knock issue...

Now I just need a little more power.

hmm what about the wastegate size? may be a bit small and overboost, which wasn't apparent on the dyno?

No over boost is happing cause the PFC tells me the max value for manifold pressure and it never gets higher than about 1.3 bar... Maybe 1.32 but the tune allows for a little over boost...

I'm running a GT30r with a VG30 exhaust housing, (.63 internally gated) and I will let you know how i go with the tune next week.

I'll have Nismo 550cc injectors.

Also, its bolted up on the stock manifold etc, pretty much the same setup.

I have a powerfc also.

man, 19psi? I that a stock bottom end? If so.. thats gonna kill it!

dont use octane booster unless you wanna change your plugs after using it.

If you cant get it working on PULP then there is a problem somewhere.

I'd start with the exhaust side of things.

Drop it and see what happens. You also need to find out the spec/rating of that turbo

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
