Hey Guys

I am stuck at the moment my car getting about 280-300kms out of each tank its making ok power (175kw)but is runnin very rich. The guy who dyno'd it just said its been tuned for more boost so I can use the fuel of a high tuned car and have the power or use the fuel and not have the power.. but I'm not so sure he's right! he has a pretty bad history with powerfull cars that don't live to long how much boost can a stock skyline handle with front mount and 3 inch turbo back system ?

The car may have different internals but I'll play it safe as far as i no the turbo has a steel front wheel. maybe the plastic one fell off??? (series 2 r33) haha

it also had a heap of wiring pulled out of it once it landed in australia. what other things can make it run rich?

The car feels great to drive and doesnt show any signs of problems!

it all comes down to how he tuned it.

noone is going to sit here and say 'run 12psi' then have your motor blow because your car is tuned for 7psi (example).

that questions can only be answered by your tuner. he sounds shit so i'd be taking it somewhere else and get them to do it all for you.

well the front wheel of the turbo isn't the problem, its the ceramic exhaust wheel that all rb25's have the problem with. if it has a steel wheel and is a series 2 (unless it is a 95 model, which makes it a 1.5) then there is the chance it has been highflowed, or just replaced with a series 1 from a wreckers.

as for the car running rich, that is how they are from the factory. and your fuel economy is about right. when you say to a tank, how many litres do you mean, beacuse some people fill up at the empty line, others fill up at 1/8th of a tank to go and still say they got X amount of k's to a tank.

na I mean fuel light comes on i fill it to the brim and 280-300kms later the lights on again the car was tuned in japan by ksp tuning I can't get info off them it could have been done 10 years ago. So i'm just tryin to match the ecu and am not sure if I should just hammer in the boost, I don't drive the car very hard I have friends with skylines making 240kw that use less fuel? but do have better ecu's and mods...

Boost wise whats "safe"....? will the turbo be the weekest point? or engine?? :O

with my air/fuel haeding into 10:1 do you think I should just go new turbo for more air???? I can get my hands on a to4 but I'm not to sure if I want it I think it will be real laggy and I don't want nothing till 5000rpms.

I only want around the 220-250rwkw wat turbo will give me this without to much lag??

Cheers! :D

If your cruise mixtures are all rich then possibly look at getting a stock ecu fitted or even a new 02 sensor.

If the car is tuned properly it should not run rich everywhere. The idea that you have more fuel in than needed at a specific load point because it is tuned for more boost is ridiculous, as when you add more boost the ecu will be looking up a different point in the map (which i suspect will also be a bit on the rich side).

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
