Re: First dyno disappointment...

Changing your K changes your load which would mean that you are accessing different values from before. Read the nistune mapping guide.

Re: First dyno disappointment...

I looked at your map and compared it to 8-bits. Your timing is extremely aggressive. On an NA tune, wide open throttle is around 25*. Anything after that is boost which results in timing retarded to get away from detonation. You really need to read the nistune mapping guide to understand what each f...

Re: First dyno disappointment...

Check base timing to see if it matches nistune. Check fuel pressure to see if it holds. Also look at your TTP minimum and maximums. TP load cut could might prevent you from reaching certain loads. If your TTP MAX is set to low no matter how much you increase the fuel in your fuel map, it won't let y...

Car runs leaner/ less vacuum with ac on

I have pressure tested and can not find a leak. Vacuum is about 20 to 21hg at idle. When I turn on the ac it goes to about 18hg and the car starts running leaner. EGR and emissions deleted. The only thing that I could think is that I have a vacuum leak after the IACV. Anybody delt with this before a...

RTV around the plug and the cover. I leak checks my whole piping multiple times. It's good. It's just a small turbo I guess. The td06 20g is what comes on the greddy kit. With that turbo the car made 278 whp at 12lbs. This turbo is a td05 20g. It made 318 on 16.5 psi. That's a 4.5 psi difference

Actual Wideband shows around 11.5. The map trace from what I've seen is close as far as accuracy. Any time you let off the throttle, it will show the most current, average, min, max. They could be a difference of 11.5 accle and full lean on decel. That is all cell/input depenent, but I'm sure you al...

91 octane

To calibrate gizzmo knock light, touch light for 6 seconds and hold engine at around 3200 rpms.
The light will go through 6 flashes. 2 green 2 yellow 2 red and then analyze the frequency and your set to go.

Big turbo vs small turbo psi and timing comparison

Should timing be about the same for a bigger turbo vs a smaller one? Given .75* per 1lb of boost. So 10psi on a t28 and a 3071r would run approximately 17* of timing at 10lbs? Or is there a difference in timing. I'm looking at the high pressure low volume vs low pressure high volume concept. Hence b...

I thought some of you might be interested in this. They have a DLP converter that has I believe up to 7 or 8 inputs. You can then define an aux input in nistune and this run a GM map sensor for instance. You will have to create a look up table for it. I plan to use this to measure kpa vs TP and RPM....

Did you do anything to the internal wastegate? Access to it is blocked off by 3 welds and it appears to be pressed in as well.
