Killer T,

First Line: 100/100/100/101/102/103/101/100/100/101/103/101/100/115/119/125/125/125/125/125

Second line is the same

third line:

100/100/99/101/97/102/100/.....there after as for line one and two.

A bit different from yours, I am running a Z32 AFM as well, so that may be influencing things. My AF ratios are a pretty constant 12.3:1 and I get no detonation even on hot days running 0.85bar boost.

  • 1 month later...

sorry late reply,

but did u end up getting it fixed?...

i have the same problem

funny thing is that it goes to normal after a 30min drive but sometime it doesnt, its so unpredictable

most of the time i feel like pulling my hair out & packing the power fc away & put back in the factory ecu & some other days i dont take notice of it at all.

it normally goes 1200rpm then drops back to 750rpm then rise again.

Some people has said it was the wrong selection of your AFM, my settings on afm meters are correct so i dont know.

If you have solved the mysterious idle problem please let me know ;)

ive known a few powerFC's to hunt at idle. mine is good with a Z32 AFM.

the fuel maps should be very close to the 100 setting for a car with stock cams. the higher the number the richer so if your car is cammed then add a bit more fuel to stabilise it.

check the temperature compensation. sometimes if the idle is rich and the temp compensation kicks in the idle deteriorates.

check the temperature the engine is running at. (see above)

rb25 should idle with 15 degrees timing. if i recolect. check this too in the ignition map.

check what the timing is with a light. if the reading on the crankisnt the one on the map then you should correct this.

check the fuel cut recovery points and idle speed.

pawL.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
