BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 8m 8d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 15/08/14 07:42 AM Share Posted 15/08/14 07:42 AM I paid 1900 (I think) for a pair of 'new' YTs for the 253 back in the early 80's when everyone was diing to be the first street car to have 1 1/2 hp per cube.........now it's so easy to get 2 or even 3 hp/cube.Gotta love experience and modern tech.

rollex Member 683 Member For: 10y 6m 6d Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 15/08/14 10:10 AM Author Share Posted 15/08/14 10:10 AM I did some of tuning on my skyline on a dyno via nistune, I'm an electronic engineer and have contributed to decompiling and modifying the rom in the Nissan unit, I've even looked at modifying on the fly k factor tuning for flex fuel via using the o2 feedback when at idle . I've also seen the sh*t tunes that many tuners do so I would like the capability to tweak and modify the results if I'm not happy with it. I'm well aware of how easily you can pop your motor if you randomly change things with no idea what you are doing, but thanks for assuming I have no idea what I'm doing. Obviously it is cheaper to pay someone to do a one off tune however I'm a perfectionist with my tunes and have never been happy until I spend another 40+ hours in it myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in what you know. Edited 16/08/14 09:01 PM by rollex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run it on the dyno. See the results then adjust accordingly and re flash the ecu. It's a very long process compared to the live tunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run it on the dyno. See the results then adjust accordingly and re flash the ecu.It's a very long process compared to the live tunesThis is how we used to do the old ECUs in the 1980s skylines before nistune was invented, flash the chip, put it back in the ECU, dyno, pull it out, put it back in eeprom flasher.If the process is streamlined so you can do the flash, dyno, flash, dyno it wouldn't be that far off real time tuning, you just don't have map tracing I'm guessing?What else is different or would be considered counter intuitive with hp/sct ?
