Guys

do these mixtures look OK

I have an R32 GTR and since having this power run done I have removed the mesh from my AFMs and installed a cold air intake. Now the car seems to run VERY rich (obvious ?)

I sometimes get less than 300ks from a full tank of fuel with a mixture of normal and heavy driving, and I get clouds of blueish smoke under heavy acceleration

smoke is mainly when I accelerate hard (big cloud of smoke) but once I'm on the peddle the smoke stops.

Engine has done about 12klms since rebuild and is running Apexi PFC

So – is it time for a re-tune, or should I try taking some fuel out myself (watching for knock)

It actually has a pretty decent tune on it AFR wise, its certainly not way too rich (it doesnt even hit 11.5:1).

Your description of blueish smoke isnt petrol, its burning oil somewhere. If it was running too rich it would be a grey/black colour.

interesting - I don't use ANY oil - but it does seem to use LOTS of fuel

I'm also now getting a mild back fire (pop) between gears at moderate load - another sign of too much fuel I thought (I'm not expert tho)

Would an oil leak on one of the turbos cause this ?

NB head was also completly rebuild 12k ago - all new seals etc - so I don't think my problem is there either

I suppose - what I'm aksing is would removing the mesh from my AFMs impact mixtures ???

SHouldn't affect mixtures much, although running a bit lean up top, boost curve not too happy, could be a(or both) O2 sensors, they will make it run rich all the time except under load, resulting in heavy fuel consumtion, what management?

Managementy is Apexi PFC - how would I check O2 sensors - where are they ?

The graph you posted is a wide open throttle, full load run (the mixtures are not rich at all) and has nothing to do with your economy issue.

Its the mixtures when cruising around that are in question which you dont have a graph of. What was consumption before you took the mesh out?

Its obviously a recently rebuilt engine, so what Ks were on it when it was last tuned?

good point - I obviously do not have a run showing mixtures at cruising speeds.

I can't say I noticed an issue with smoke or fuel consumption before de-meshing, or even immediately afterwards. But I do have a problem now !!

At this point I'm simply searching for some root cause, and that is the main thing I have changed since the tune. I've also added spiltfire coil packs - and that's about it I think

It's been about 10,000K since it was on a dyno for a full tune – is that too long ?

talk to me about the 02 sensors – where are they – are they easy to replace – how much do they cost and where can I get 'em

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
