Massive Sudden Lean-out Rb20det

Hi Lads,

Rex Has his KingPinny 'budget hack' on the Dyno the other day for its post-build, pre-thrash checkup. It makes respectable grunt with AFR's sticking nicely between 12.3 and 11:1 for the whole run.

However at the top of the run just prior to limiter (perhaps 500rpm) the AFR suddenly makes a dead vertical up past 14:1 which is where the operator jumps off the acceleratix. We repeated the run three times, peak power was within 2-3rwkw and the same massive sudden vertical leanout condition.

The dyno was done as a favour so no fault finding was performed, Rex was thinking that perhaps the AFM may be faulty (NIssan's are renowned for them) causing the ECU to basically drop the injector duty cycle right off.

The engine R32 RB20DET and is stock, along with the ECU and turbo etc. Only modifications are filter, exhaust and intercooler setup. Boost is un-modified but up to 11psi due to removal of restrictions in pipework etc.

Rex has considered AFM maxing however it seems more likely that Mr ECU would just go massively rich safety-like instead of lean.

Anyone seen/heard similar problems? He has seen a couple of other graphs with the same problem, but not an explanation.

Rex has some diagnosis to do on Mondey such as AFM peak voltage etc, but would be good to have some things to check if He runs dry ideas wise. It also seems very unlikey to be a fuelling issue because of the shape of the graph.

Have included printout below if it helps...

Rex considered fuel pump not to be the problem because surely if pressure couldn't be maintained the AFR would rise gradually. PUMP is R32 GTR

Fuel injectors maybe, but supposedly they are good for 230odd rwkw at 100% DutyCycle. HOWEVER with stock reg, He knows not.

Sounds like Rex may need a slightly different Multimeter...

As for the power, trust Him, Rex cannot believe it either. Approx 140rwkw would've been a delight but the 192.6rwkw peak almost made Rex pass-out.

Injector size: 270 cc/min injectors(25.7 lbs/hour)

Number of injectors: 6

BSFC: 0.65

Duty cycle: 100%

This combination will supply fuel for 237 horsepower

237hp = 182kw...

I knew this was going to happen, believe Rex he has heard it muchly since the day it was dyno'ed.

The engine is approx 60,000kms ex-GTS4 R32 from around 1993 He believes. Wether or not they use a different turbo (M-spec or whatever??) He knows not, but it IS the turbo that came in the half-cut. On Mondey he shall get serial no's to confirm.

Rex works for an importer, and yanked the motor out himself.

The car was 100% stock, no filter not even a timer or boost gauge. all of the factory bolts/sheilds/gaskets/retainers were in place with no signs of ever have being removed. Thats whay leads Rex to believe its stock.

Believe it or not the turbo is not the 'be all and end all' of the intake system. It is VERY dependant on the systems around it.

This was designed to be a help diagnose thread, not a 'you're a liar' thread. The Dyno may be wrong, but the operator has done it a thousand times. The car does feel that fast.

Back to the problem...

Fuel pressure shall be checked on Mondey to be sure

no one is calling anyone a liar. the figures quoted are at the top end of the believable scale.

all we are doing is trying to help diagnose a problem. if you get as many suggestions as possible, you can eleminate them one by one.

Yep, maybe a bit premature ;) ...

Rex is just geared for the 'Thats too much power, its impossible...You're a liar!!!' arguement that is likely to follow that printout and specs list.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
