Reason I say this Matt is because AFAIK the Microtech doesnt have individual cylinder fuel trim control, hence 6 would be running the same pulsewidth as 5 and as 4 etc. etc. As for air distribution in an RB manifold? Generally 6 will receive LESS air than cyls 2 and 3, making it inherently richer. You will more than likely find that 6 has been running physically hotter than the other cylinders, due to the Skyline cooling system design, which has pushed it over the detonation threshold. Ie. it detonated to death, rather than 'leaned out'. I may well be wrong though.

Yep your right mate, the LT12 doesn't have individual cyl control. What you've explained, re 6 running hotter & leading to failure, sounds quite feasible. I'll post up the exact findings when the motor is apart.

Could the cause be a high pressure drop across the factory fuel rail and therefore no. 6 injector gets less fuel pressure and may have pushed it over the safe AFR edge? I would say the harder you push the fuel pressure, the greater the pressure drop.

Martin, what ECUs has individual injector control? Have you seen high pressure drops across RB25 fuel rails?

I've seen on a number of tune shop designed items, the fuel feed line is in the centre of the rail, thus ensuring more even fuel delivery for each injector.

I will be thinking serously about a better fuel system when I bolt a bigger turbo on I think (as per Martin's HPI story some time back re RB25 injectors). Either straight fit SARD or new/better rail with whatever injector we come up with.

Sorry for hijacking thread, should be in Matt's rebuild thread!

Hang on guys, the problem with Whatsisname's motor was nothing to do with the Microtech.

I just asked, what other ECUs have individual injector control?

What if it did, how would you measure AFRs for each cylinder anyway?

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌

    • Thanks buddy.. the standard one needs to be about another inch or inch and a half longer. Thanks anyway
