Here is a graph from my last dyno tune...

dynograph2.jpg

My A/F ratio is a little high and i'm getting high knock levels at high rpm...

On a post earlier someone suggested that it was my walbro 255lph fuel pump that was giving out and not flowing enough fuel...

However, I'm still using a sII rb25det afm and making 371hp...

Would this be a problem causing my high knock levels or the fuel pump?

I turned up the fuel pressure to 50psi and my injector duty cycle is set at 87.0% on 550cc injectors.

Dude I've figured out now that you are in the US somewhere (probaby Georgia) but you should state that since 95% of us are in Australia and use different methods of working out horsepower - we actually prefer kilowatts but anyway...

So to your question; Yes the AFM should be well and truly maxed out. What ECU are you using? That said we have been using these walbro's and they are shit. You are right in the area where flow becomes a real problem.

Here's an easy test for you.

Put car on dyno.

Take off fuel return line and point into a bucket or tin.

Run the car up at full power.

If the return flow reduces to a trickle or even worse stops completely (as it did mine) take the pump out and sell it to someone who has less power than you.

This test is cheaper than replacing your pump just in case and since we don't know what ECU you have or the tuner's methods we can't comment on the afm really.

running 50psi base rail pressure? Do i read that correctly?

Thats astronomically high for 550cc injectors that should pump out (in your terms) over 450rwhp on the stock 38psi base.

I would say the fuel pump is not working, remembering that walbro's are nothing but a waste of money.

Make sure the pump is seeing the correct voltage.

If it is, rip it out and put a bosch/nismo pump in there and be done with it

Yesterday I hardwired the fuel pump to the battery... It's now recieving 13. + volts and I'm still getting high knock levels in the high rpms..

I'm using a PFC and my car was tuned at a certified excel tuner facility..

So are we saying that I could be getting high knock levels because my afm is being over flowed? The reading on my pfc is saying my afm is seeing 5115mv or something along those lines...

So it looks like i'm getting a new fuel pump... prolly not the nismo because it's twice as much as a bosch pump... what do you guys recommend? I see a lot of people on here using 040 and the 044...

yep sounds good mate....practically everyone runs a bosch these days...they do the trick very nicely.

Yes your airflow meter is out of range for the airflow your seeing. You need to get a z32 or q45 to cope. What rpm is it showing 5v?

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
