Brunei Trip 2014

R.N.R Autosport have been invited to Brunei to check out the car tuning and motorsport scene over there.It is very very pleasant trip,with very nice cars.We felt very welcome and the hospitality shown by the Bruneian friends is at its best. We manage to solve problem of one car fitted with Adaptronic e420d.The smile and satisfaction of every customer is very meaningful to us,we will continue to provide the best possible service to our customers.

Midnight cruise around Brunei capital Bandar Seri Begawan.

We hope to come back here soon as there is so many things to explore and so many cool cars.

AE111 + Adaptronic e420d + 1.75L Stroker kit

 R.N.R Autosport have been a dealer for Adaptronic ecu for 3 years now,we have a lot of projects and have worked with various engines.We are amazed with the flexibility of the Adaptronic ecu and its value for money.It runs very smooth and almost like a stock ecu and comes with a lot of features for its price.

Here we have a Stroked 4age 20v. The engine displacement have been increased to 1.75L from 1.6L.It runs Adaptronic e420d ecu with few other add on goodies to the engine.

 Base engine is 20v Blacktop

Here is the result with RON95.

R.N.R Autosport have been Dyno Dynamics for tuning every customer vehicle since it is easy to tune the part throttle with this dyno. The downside of it is its figures are lower than Dynojet and most other dynos.

It makes customer very sad but on road performance is what more important.

For us,dyno is just a tool to help us tune the engine,not to compare horsepower.

Toyota Corolla SEG AE111 4age 20v BT + Adaptronic e420d

Hi,Good day,here we have another Corolla AE111 with 4age 20v swap coming in for Adaptronic ecu. The engine is completely stock except for HKS extractor.

Car being strapped for dyno.

Red graph is stock ecu,Blue graph is Adaptronic ecu.

Quite a minimal gain with this engine,the stock ecu setting was pretty close to optimum where the engine can produce its power and torque.However throttle response was improved.The torque dip where the VVT is disengage is also improved by changing the VVT disengagement RPM.

Nissan Cefiro with 2JZ GTE VVT-i + Adaptronic e420d

An owner of a Nissan Cefiro with 2JZ transplant want a better performance from his stock 2JZ motor.We fitted and tuned his engine with Adaptronic e420d ecu.

Stock engine,0.95 bar boost tapering to 0.85 bar at redline,the sequential twin turbo have been converted to parellel operation and drive by wire throttle body (ETCS-i) have been disabled. 

Final result,base run and optimized.We having problems with initial boost response after a few run due to boost control system unstable but manage to find a bit more top end torque and power.

Honda Civic EG + B16A Turbo kit + E-manage

A revisit to the VTEC turbo B16A from previous post.The engine have been completed and the owner have finished running in his engine,now its tuning time.

This engine runs on stock ecu and E-manage blue with Greddy Pressure sensor.Mechanicals by Garage Daz and tuning by R.N.R Autosport.

 Top fuel turbo kit.

 

Final figure,boost is 0.45bar.This turbo kit have very good response,due to small sized turbo.Fuel is RON97

4AGE 20V + E-manage Mini

Another customer comes into wanted to install E-manage to his 4AGE 20V,this time we installed new mini e-manage blue.Good thing is it comes with USB connection which is a lot faster and stable,also friendly with newer laptops.

 6 speed gearbox

 Final result.

Toyota Altezza + 1JZ GTE VVT-i + Adaptronic e420d

Hi,

An Altezza owner with 1JZ GTE VVTi conversion have chosen Adaptronic as his rides brain.The engine is pretty stock with single top mounted T04E,a front mounted intercoolers and exhaust systems.Installation is done by the owner himself with guidance from R.N.R Autosport as this is his learning project.

 Running with Adaptronic e420d,VVT-i is maintained and controlled by Adaptronic ECU.On to the tuning then..

After lots of runs on the dyno,here is the final result with 1.4 bar of boost,the injector have already maxed out at this point.The engine also have some problems with ignition/interference hence the premature rev cut here as seen in the graph.That need to be sorted out later,i reckoned it will be a little bit better when the issues are solved.For now,we settled at 356 WHP.

More on this later.

4AGE 20V + Adaptronic e420d + Toda 264-264 cam

One of R.N.R Autosport customer have upgraded his machine.Previously it was stock 20v Blacktop with metal head gasket and adjustable cam pulley on exhaust,was run by Adaptronic e420d ecu with R.N.R Autosport  COP conversion kit.

The owner have upgraded his cam to Toda 264-264 9mm lift.Others remain untouched,even the piston is OEM 81mm. OEM Rotating internals have been balanced.

The blue graph is Toda Cam run with previous tune,the red graph is Toda Cam after tuning the ecu,the power drop above 8000rpm is due to cam settings,the owner will send the car to his mechanic to optimize the cam timing and hit the dyno again.The VVT is still retained in this setup.The gain is almost 9HP, i reckon it can get more than 160HP on this dyno with proper cam dialing setup.

Fuel is RON97 with Octane booster.

4AG 20V + Adaptronic e420d ECU + Tomei Poncam

Hi,R.N.R Autosport was approached by a customer to have the Adaptronic e420d installed and tuned for his 4AGE 20V Blacktop engine with Tomei Poncam,all others are stock except for 0.8mm metal headgasket and adjustable pulley on the exhaust cam. The VVT is retained.

 

The engine,fairly stock.This is our first time tune on DYNOJET. I still favor the Dynamics more as its better in steady state mapping.

 

The blue graph is stock ecu + Poncam

The red graph is Adatpronic e420d + Poncam

Very healthy increase in power and torque,and also removed the torque dip with the stock ecu.As you can see the stock ecu also have a dangerously lean AFR across the midrange.

Fuel is RON 97.

Mazda MX5 +Emanage

 Installing the e-manage

 Car on dyno,engine is stock with extractor,

A bit low but still a lot of improvement can be done.Thank to the owner,hope you enjoy the new improved power.

AE92 SE with 4AG 20V Blacktop + Emanage

 Another customer all the way from Penang,thanks for your trust to tune your car,engine relatively stock,with e-manage piggyback ecu.

The results.

AE101 SEG + 4AG 20V Blacktop + E-manage

Another AE101 SEG with Blacktop 20V and E-manage Blue (Actually it is EM-CON by M7).His engine is equipped with the usual bolt on goodies,trumpets and a Tomei Pon-Cam 256-264deg.

Good result there.Impressed with the cams,really bump the torque significantly to 160Nm (117lb/ft), almost 10Nm increase over stock engine with stock cam.I reckon with a standalone ecu it will be better overall and trim that torque dip above 6000rpm.

Well,there is always a room for improvement.

AE86 + 4AG 20v + Adaptronic e420d Re-tune

 This car have been featured before,the owner did a few extra mod and asking for a re-tune.So to the dyno we went.
 

 

 

I can't believe it! 151.2 WHP this time,153 Nm of torque. The engine is still untouched! The extra mod is a full set of titanium cat back exhaust system and an adjustable cam pulley on exhaust cam. This must be a one healthy engine.

Come back home smiling.

Toyota LE + 4AG 20V + Adaptronic e420c

This car is old but with a new engine,it can perform well chasing the new cars,but the body and chassis need serious strengthening.It is fitted with 4AGE 20v Silvertop,with Adaptronic e420c for engine controls and Plug and Play 4AG 20v harness (Previously on stock ecu).The engine spec is pretty much stock,with stock cams and piston,only with 0.8mm metal head gasket and custom trumpets.It is also tuned with 4-2-1 extractor and a 2.3 inch straight exhaust pipe which exit just below the driver seat floorpan.Fuel is local RON95.And i should mention that the engine is not in a very good condition,it was smoking and consumes engine oil very badly but owner insist to tune it before tearing it down for rebuilt.

The end result (blue graph).

 This is a huge gain over stock untuned map(red graph),i am really pleased with this considering the engine is relatively stock.Almost 144 WHP and 114 lb/ft or torque,that is about 155Nm.It is quite responsive too.Owner is pleased.We are happy for him too.

AE101 4AGE 20v + Adaptronic e420c install and tuning

A customer come in a AE101 corolla swapped with 4AGE 20v. He wants a plug and play installation for his Adaptronic e420c,so we made up a plug and play harness for his 4AG 20v.

Installation was quick and straight to the dyno.

 End result is 131.8 WHP for a stock blacktop 4AGE 20v.

This is not the best reading i have with the 4AG and Adaptronic,the engine is knocking so bad and i can't raise the ignition timing too much.We suspect there is something wrong with the engine,so the customer will send it for checking.A healthy stock 20V should make aroudn 135 to 140whp and around 110lb/ft of torque.

AE92 + 3SGTE E-manage Tuning

Hi,

Before Hari Raya,a friend come to tune his E-manage blue in his 3S GTE equipped AE92 Corolla.

The end result is 224.5whp but with less boost than the 1st run.

The blue graph is base run with 0.8-0.9 bar of boost,the red graph is the tuned but with only 0.6-0.7 bar of boost.The boost controller acting weirdly during tuning so we cant raise the boost. However we picked up good gain at high rpm even with less boost as the previous AFR is too rich at the high end.

The owner will get the boost controller sorted out and come back for more.

AE101 SEG with 4AGE 20V 6 Speed + E-manage Blue Tuning

Another E-manage (EM-CON) tuning...SEG AE101 with 4AGE 20V 6 Speed.

 Car up on dyno

The results,not bad for a 1.6L,slightly modded engine.

Toyota AE86 4AG 20v + Adaptronic e420d ecu

A customer would like to replace the old 4AG 16v engine in his AE86 with a newer 4AG 20v,but as the 20v is from a front wheel drive Levin/Trueno,when it being fitted to rear wheel drive format,the distributor will hit the firewall,there are 3 solutions to this,which is knocking the firewall for the distributor to clear,make a distributor relocation kit or use a Standalone engine management system to convert the ignition system form distributor to wasted spark or direct fire (individual coils).

A better alternative is the third option which is using a standalone engine management system.R.N.R Autosport have suggested the owner to go for direct fire coil on plug ignition system.In this case the coil used is from Nissan SR20 S15 Silvia.ECU of choice is the Adaptronic e420d.This little ecu is packed of features for its relatively cheap price.

Coil harness fabrication

Here is the finished custom made harness,all wires are soldered and shrinked wrap the entire loom.

From another angle

 Fitted on the engine,the wiring literally hidden.

Another view

Another angle from top

 

Put the car up on the Dyno Dynamics Chassis Dynamometer

 

The result of the conversion.The engine is totally stock standard except for extractor,coil on plug converision and the custom made trumpets.A good result considering its a RWD car which has a higher transmission losses,not to mention this is tuned on RON 95 petrol.The fuel consumption is greatly decreased,more than 14km/L on highways (as reported by the owner). Ecu running flawlessly everytime,no matter cold or hot start.

Congrats to the owner,a rare classics,AE86 is a gem.This project is will not end here,the owner has a few more plans for his baby.So watch out this blog guys.Thanks.
