Project 300.

[UlysseNuovo]

Hahaha, suppose to post some pictures awhile ago but did not find the time to gather all of it.

Well, now here we go....

[UlysseNuovo]

As I posted earlier, I decided to go with an external wastegate, so in she went again into torque gear.

[UlysseNuovo]

wah Tial wastegate. screamer or no screamer?

cant wait to see the dyno numbers on this monster!

redd

As you requested, dyno was done when I am still on gtec1, now I am on the gtec1 higher fuelling since I do not have enough fuel going in as shown on the dyno chart.

[Redd]

bro why no torque and boost curves wan?

redd

[UlysseNuovo]

Ada la, the faint red line. Scan quality not that good.

[UlysseNuovo]

At about 3800 rpm I am boosting 1.05 - 1.1 bar.

[desin]

few suggestion, which is worth to consider

[UlysseNuovo]

Thank you for your suggestions, at the moment the only part that scrape the bump is the black metal bar bolt when I am coming out of my condo.

So far so good.

[FlameON]

Dude, Looking sweet. will need to sit down and get tips from you lah now

[UlysseNuovo]

Bro, I got your p.m. I will let you know when I get back from touring.

[UlysseNuovo]

Just to update on fuel consumption.

As you guys know, now I am using the gtec1 higher fuelling. Today, still about slightly above 1 bar left before empty tank, I have clocked 430 km.

I do a bit of high speed here and there but not all the time, just like how I normally drive. So, it is not burning a huge hole in my pocket, yet.

[pistole]

- the car much more laju kah ?

.

- and that compressor outlet really shouldn't be a fixed metal pipe
welded to a flange.

.

[UlysseNuovo]

- the car much more laju kah ?

.

- have not really tested but it do feel like running out of breath.

- it is time for you to put in your snail .

Just about a few weeks ago, my aircond blower was acting up. The time of the day you need it most, it was not blowing. I was still getting cold air when I open up the vent to take in outside air. Anyway, got it sorted out at Emech, the blower fuse fused. Change that and all is well.

[Redd]

UN, if it's one of the 3 fuses sitting just above the ABS pump in the engine bay, get chong to change them out to larger fuse holders. they will continue to melt and fuse until you do so. the original factory fuses are too small and cant cope with the amount of time we have our a/c on in msia climate. they will melt and fuse every couple months.

redd

[gtfan]

Yeah yeah stupid italian electronic....my kimchi ride 6 years also no such issue. Haha.

[UlysseNuovo]

Eh, Coupe not bad what, '10' years only fuse fused.

thats 50amp fuse...

nope. it uses the same amp fuse as original, just a larger sized fuse. i think the smaller fuse just gets too hot and melts, and the larger fuse takes the heat better. whatever the reason, it seems to work.

[UlysseNuovo]

Thanks Redd, that problem solved.

[UlysseNuovo]

Some months back after the dyno, I know that at the end of the rpm, I am running lean. So, I switch to Gtec2 higher fuelling from Gtec2 to hopefully solve the problem. But after that I am still running lean after about 4200 rpm.

At the back of my mind I was thinking it could be the fuel pump problem as I have to push the start button twice before Bella will start, maybe the one I gotten was fake or something that I bought from N1 (later found out it was not the pump problem). Went to Emech to switch it back to the standard pump and I don't have to push the start button twice to start Bella up. Yea! Problem solve, I should not be running that lean now.

So, went back to GT Auto to dyno. Arggghhhh! Still running lean. After some troubleshooting, found the cause. The fuel pump wiring, I should have change it earlier as recommended in our forum. Use back the Walbro 255L fuel pump that I bought from N1 and using the Gtec2 higher fuelling, the problem of running too lean was better. But after running it for a few days, I notice that the fuel consumption was higher (of course la, higher fuelling mah).

Last month, I switch back to Gtec2 normal fuelling and only yesterday I went back to GT Auto to dyno. The result I posted on my facebook. I started to get lean earlier than the Gtec2 higher fuelling from about 5400 as Redd said. I was advise by Thomas from GT Auto, not to stay too long at 6000 plus rpm, which I do not think I will be doing so la. I love the nice AF ratio that Loki achieved for his R33.

So, now do I really have to go Live Map?

[UlysseNuovo]

Oh, my water temperature was acting up of late too. Notice it during our Fadil's Tribute Run. I was stuck in a traffic jam and my water temperature was hovering around 98 and even touch 100 and it was not under stress e.g. climbing hill.

After I dynoed, GT Auto change for me the coolant to Neo Synthetic Keep Cool. By the time I left, I was caught in the famous LDP jam. Temperature went back to just above 80 and almost touching 90.

Total cost with dyno, RM230.

[pistole]

- adjustable FPR.

.

[raitag]

can u set the adjustable FPR in accordance to the rpm?

[pistole]

- takbleh.

- its across the entire rev range ...

.

[raitag]

so, u could be running rich at lower rpm and just nice on the higher side la...

[ognam]

Live mapping would probably be the ideal thing to do, but would be a hassle unless someone reputable can perform it here.

UN, that neo cool thing, is it a coolant option/replacement or additive ala water wetter?

Edit : re-read your post. You mention "changed", so must be a replacement.

[pistole]

- scan your dyno chart.

- email to GrahamL.

- ask him to do a custom chip to address your lean-spot.

.

[UlysseNuovo]

Pistole,

I might just try the FPR first and see before looking into the other options. Thanks.

Ognam,

According to Thomas GT Auto is an additive. It cost RM60.

[Kelv27]

Not sure if Graham does it anymore though.. I know Leighton (FC Performance) has done a few 'long distance' mapping with great success.. so try getting in touch with him. He sent me a revised chip the other day so I'm sure he'll be able to sort you out with one quickly too.

[DeaDLocK]

Yes, Leighton can do a custom map for you. He'll send you a base map (depending on what hardware you have), then you install the chip and dyno, scan the results and email to him. He then adjusts the map and sends you a new chip with the tuned results specific to your car.

I think Desin is the only one on here who has done this (for now ).

[ognam]

Pardon my sampai-mati-pun ignorance. So you're saying the only item that will be flying back and forth is just the chip? ECU stays at home? If that's the case, interesssting...

[UlysseNuovo]

Yes. You still can drive with you original Lays Chip.

...

But that tauke Desin always complaint.

[gtfan]

Aya, our coupe can do chip swap in 15 mins....last time at craven cafe....dunno how many times we swap in and out

[UlysseNuovo]

I will have to eat my words. I think I have yet to dyno with Gtec 2 higher fueling. Swap chip too often.

Tonight at Craven we will have a Chip swapping TT.

[gtfan]

paging itu uncle harris....

[ognam]

that's why.. if no need to courier the whole ecu, easy lor...

Tonight at Craven we will have a Chip swapping TT.

boss.. got any extra chip ah?

[Kelv27]

ognam, I've got a spare gtec2 you can borrow to test if you want

[ognam]

ognam, I've got a spare gtec2 you can borrow to test if you want

Thanks so much for the generous offer Kelv... but Gtec2 might be to kow for me. My car and myself are rather tame (and standard). Testing that chip could very well lead me to do other things. My aim isn't exactly in the 300s.

paging itu uncle harris....

Cool. I have something to discuss with him.

[gtfan]

10pm tonight at craven....

Btw, ognam, you can use gtec 1 should be sufficient since you are still using standard turbo.

Gtec 2 normal fueling might not be suitable as the timing is slightly advance and not advisable for those who want to pump ron95

ron95? What is that? Haha... Let's continue discussion tonight. If my 10pm meeting finishes early.

[UlysseNuovo]

I will be late. Just finish dinner.

No worries. Sorry, for some reason i thought you already had some work done to your car!

[UlysseNuovo]

2 ECU removal and Chip replacement in less than 30 minutes at about 0210 hrs.

[raitag]

i heard leighton is not cheap... and if anyone is going to do this, i suggest u dyno the car twice... once in the morning when it's cool and 2nd one at noon when it's hot... send both and hope he can tune to suit both conditions...

[Kelv27]

When he did mine in person, it was about 200 quid. Not sure if distance mapping would be cheaper...would imagine it to be but don't hold me to it

Yes, big difference in results with temperature. Basically, the more information you can provide him the more accurate he can map your parameters.

The virgin coupe took the longest time. And three people having a go at it. Haha. The Kraven Chip Swap Club :

UN, hope your fueling improves.

raitag & kelv, sound advice. It might be pricier but would probably pay itself off in the long run, assuming the coupe performs well with optimum fuel efficiency after the mapping.

[raitag]

first photo shows 2 guys at the passanger side... one tonggeng lagi... what the heck are u two doing ehh?

[Kelv27]

Do you guys in IA get thattttt 'friendly'???
