Not convinced my Ed30 GIAC Map is as it should be

[chris s]

Exactly my thoughts... I have 2 local REVO dealers so have plenty of choice there and both within 10 miles... hence can easily resolve any issues easily, if they arise.  A pain in the Butt tho as I already splashed out £466 in the GIAC

Where are you Chris, if you do change then it would be a good idea to get some feedback as to the best one?

A lot of people are happy with GIAC but its just a shame the tuner is so far away.

The thing is, he should have logged it properly so it kind of does fall on him.

Would it fall under the 'goods not as described' banner?

But was it not pulling even with PDT's map on? Is it the map that's causing this?

Yes apparently but what I am saying is the Tuner should have logged it properly, if he had he would have known about the massive pull and known something was wrong.

What I am saying is that a local Tuner may be better for Chris.

You can always try PDTs own software if you dont want to splash out on the £££££'s.
If you want to know what its like on an ED30, I can always flash my car back to the PDTuning software if you want to see what its like

Cheers guys - I agree with you about the GIAC situation... however I think it would be a losing battle fought at long distance... as I have no evidence to prove it was not right at the time I left Star Performance and the time and effort to get up and down the road would be considerable.  My car was pulling with the REVO trial map on as well, but all was good apparently with the stock map... although Dave didn't record this, but the out put was what it should be so have no reason to doubt him.

Star Perf suggested changing the plugs [done] and the coil packs... which dave has said he would do for free for testing purposes.... so my next plan is to have some full data logging tomorrow lunch time at Tiple H Motorsport (REVO Dealer), purely becuase they are literally 5 mins away from work, and the if all is well head to PDT for a REVO stage 1.

So I will have wasted £466 but my plan when I bought the car in April was to have it mapped... as coming from a 350Z the stock Ed30 would have been too slow ;-)

Absolutely mate.... the Zed was faster all round mate, plus it cornered much better.. anyway I went for the ed30 with plans to bump it's performance so that's still my plan

These engines are very prone to engine knock , mines been doing it for the last 3 years and i still have no idea whats causing it , what made things worse is the dealers have no idea when you present them with hours of logging showing your timing pull.
I changed plugs and coil packs but they did not make any difference at all.
i have a new cam positioning sensor to go on to try just incase mines on its way out.

any further update to this problem? or has a resolution been reached?

Talking about engine knock, mine is now running a stock map, timing pull peaks at 6.8

  WTF is up with your car Dom.  Maybe its not the turbo then!!  Surely a turbo on its way out wouldnt cause timing pull.  is it possible to test the knock sensors,
