OK so a GCG hi-flow would be good for up to about 250rwkw... after a decent tune. I'm assuming that the SAFCII won't be good enough for tuning purposes?

So for all supporting mods:

1 x hi flo turbo or similiar

1 x new fuel pump

1 x adjustable fule reg

1 x new management system???

Would you guys reccomend getting new injectors or would the R34 stock injectors be good for 250rwkw?

Stan

Why wouldnt a SAFC be up to the job? For the supporting mods Im looking at using the SITC / SAFC combo, with stnd injectors, bosch pump and nismo regulator..... wanting 200awkw from non-neo Rb25.

......... why I can confidently say that Shoot Out mode doesn't ALWAYS give higher power readings. Well, not on our dyno anyway

lol I found that funny! man, what Id give to have a dyno in MY garage (at home, not work). :lol:

Brendan

Basically because SAFC will only do fuel and air control? There is no timing control option in that... hence why I said it's probably not the best option.

I'm running 200rwkw at the moment, just gathering information for the big jump :P Hopeful that I can get it all done with $5k

Thats right, so grab a Apexi SITC (super ignition timing converter), fairly rare now but I found a brand new one for $220US on ebay. Being installed right....about....NOW!

:P

Brendan

well i just got off the phone with my tuner and my car is going in on friday to get the emanage ultimate fitted. All this talk of power has made me antsy. I dont think the ultimate needs the ignition signal adapter like the older version does, but i iwll soon find out. As for the zener diodes i think that i will put them in anyways, just waitning for and email from 666DAN. NO one else has a wiring diagram for the inclusion of zenners in the ingintion wiring do they?

Am looking into it right about now :P

Anyone else know if this thing will work?

Satan,

See Stagea section, Gary's thread (SK) Apexi Super Ignition Timing Computer, he reckons its all good, and thats good enough for me by far.

Mine is going on the Stagea right now (yesterday / today), with high pressure fuel lines, nismo adjustable fuel pressure regulator, bosch 040 fuel pump, and a z32 afm.

Getting it all ready for the turbo upgrade, hopefully I dont need larger injectors........

worth a look maybe, start on ebay. :lol:

Brendan

powerplay quoted me $1600 for rom tuning. that is a fkn joke. considering it needs to be done everytime you do more mods. Emanage ultimate with all harness(even car specific harness) and greddy e01 ebc cost me $1600. If rom tuning was cheap it would be a good option, but they want ridiculous amounts to do it.

Isn't there a Daughterboard you can buy through a group buy here that allows you to modify the stock rom form your laptop......

Was quite cheap too I beleive.

Dr Drift can tune them.

I was wondering how long it wopould take for SK to see this.

Any further thoughts on my 250rwkw ceiling SK?

14psi, very conservative timing......

Id say Race Paces dyno is very very generous. 250rwkw at 14psi when its not even in the turbos effeceint range sounds a little too high. Considering you can pump another 5psi and easily get another 20-30rwkw. i went from 17-20psi and i picked up 13rwkw and at least 30rwkw in the middle with a 2535. Silva33 got 244rwkw on 14psi with a 2535 on the same dyno. Put another 5psi in that we are looking at 270rwkw, i just cant see that from a 2535. Considering i only am getting 231rwkw at 19psi from a 2535 from a dyno dynamics dyno in shootout mode. It may read low but thats all i got. Tuning for max power isnt too hard, get the A/F ratios in the high 11's and some good timing in her. Watch the knock, if its too high bring out some timing, its not too hard. Unless you are running no timing, your still going to produce some good numbers. Good tuning is in the light/middle throttle which takes alot of time and effort.

Unfortunately those dyno sheets dont show the setup of how the dyno was run. Dynos can quite easily be enhanced.

Nah, RacePace is one of the best in the country.

He doesn't play with the numbers because most of the people going there aren't worried about numbers. Just getting the best from their cars.

Ash's R31/RB25DET ran 20rwkw higher in Shootout mode on the same dyno, and it's known to be conservative.

I'm not even into the efficient range of the GCG.  14psi is quote low.

but dont forget GCG probably are rating @ a stock head style setup

non cams, and are they counting the fact itrs a NEO in thier info for you?

I had a little run with Silvas 244Rwkw (14psi) with my old 2530 setup and basically it wasnt as close as what it should have been

driver.

youve been racing yours @ the strip for a while now remember

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
