update:

I changed the spark plugs on the weekend and guess what. The olf ones were black as night... Heaps of carbon on them. The problems is that it is still flat spotting at .8mm spark plug gap.

I will get the car on the dyno this weekend if I can and see if it running rich. Besides the AF ratio's what else should I be looking for on the dyno??? temp corrections etc????

Ps, ECU is a PFC Pro

Got the car booked in on the dyno on friday, is there anything other than the good old fuel ratio's to lookout for that could be causing it to run rich at certain points when on the road?

Anything else to lookout for that could be causing the flat spotting. I have new plugs, new coils so far...

SK,

Some questions on one and two?

1)How can I test the acceleration enrichment and partial throttle openings?

2)Where are the acceleration enrichment settings and Cold and hot start settings in the PFC HC.

Sorry to bug everyone, but I can just see me leaving the dyno place with the AF ratios looking fine and me having no real progress on this issue...

1. That’s a full power, WOT test. So it is 99% irrelevant, how much of the time do you drive around at WOT? . More importantly, what are the A/F ratios as partial throttle openings? At idle? What are the acceleration enrichment settings? Cold and hot start settings?

2. Together with the fuel in the catch can, it is the black smoke on start up that has me concerned. Give it a run on the dyno, but make sure you test idle, cruise, acceleration enrichment, partial throttle openings etc.

3. I would also have a good look at the fuel pressures, just to be sure that increasing fuel pressure is not the problem.

4. If that doesn’t show up anything then I would have the injectors flow tested. If one is rich for some reason, then the other 5 might be lean, giving 12 to 1 on average.

>_< cheers :laugh:

UPDATE:

I got the car on the dyno the other day and the AF ratios were all over the place. Thing was though they were not consistantly all over the place. We could not get it to follow a consistant path on the map tracer???

After a lot of dicking around we decided to check the the Air Meter Voltage and guess what? The volts were all over the place, which lead me to beleive that the AFM was shot.

It turn out that the plug was loose and once we snaged a zip tie around it she was puring like a kitten without any flat spotting :blink:

Now I just have to wait and see if any more fuel turns up in the catch can, if it does then those injectors are going to have to come and and get tested. :{

Been giving it a good run over the last couple of days and it seems that it is flat spotting at the top of 2nd gear, but not all the time???

Is there a way to tune the accelleration enrichment on the road without a lamda sensor?

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
