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?

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
