yes but 300rwkw on an rb25 is different to 300rwkw on an rb30

it will flow different amounts of airflow for a given RPM

and i believe he was using ap eng RB20 which i think possibly the airflow ramps were a bit of out spec, ie: in the newer 5.10 RB25 PFC i think the ramps are bit better

they may flow different amounts throughout the rev range, but if peak power is the same and if it doesnt max out on one, it wont on the other either.

I was running it off the rb20 base map to start, then we flashed the pfc over to the rb25 base settings (which work better) and we had a play with the datalogit adjusting :

the numbers in the voltage ramp which are visible in datalogit, fc pro and power excel only control how it is placed on the load map, that is it wont control when it hits 5.1v but more determine where certain voltages hit the load axis.

as well as something else to get the load points down to a tunable resolution.

dont ask me specifics, i just pay fer the tunes :P Cubes may remember exactly what we did...

In my expierence's with the Q45 (one that works) I've tuned 2 different RB25's with 2 different turbo's same Q45 AFM... Sorry didnt look at the number on it.

Engine 1: rebuilt engine, GT3540 turbo - running 30psi making 500rwhp maxing AFM 5.1vlts @ 5000rpm - engine was reving to 8k - peak power was made at 7500rpm

Engine 2: stock engine, HKS 3037s turbo - running 25psi making 430rwhp maxing AFM 5.1vlts @ 5500rpm - reving to 7k peak power made at 7k

We did not check these AFM with a multi-meter to see for sure that they were maxing out, these readings were from the apexi PFC.

The cars drove fine etc, had no troubles with tuning the AFR's

I know boost pressure does not = air flow through the meter.

The z32 is a much better afm for tuning the only thing you could do is to put it into a bigger 90mm pipe.

Doesnt a z32 have enough resolution for 300rwkws?

:S

369rwkw/24psi on my ole RB25 & Z32

peak power the same for both motors, wont mean the same airflow for both motors (if different capacities) if im not mistaken

power is determined by how much fuel and oxygen is burnt ie mass of fuel and mass of oxygen/air

afm measures *mass* of air, so regardless of engine capacities a 2L and 3L both producing 100kw at whatever rpm, are both consuming the same mass of air.

Wolf3D... great step up :lol:

mokompri: What are you trying to say? If 2 differnet engines make eg: 300rwkws and if the AFM does not max on one it should not be max on the other becaues they have the same peak power.

You'r claim eg:

Car: Make 300rwkws at 7000rpm - None Maxed AFM

Car: Make 300rwkws at 7000rpm - None Maxed AFM

How do you know its not maxed, regardless of the peak power like I said AFM's generally max at peak torque point or close to it in the engine, whether its 5000rpm or 7k a MAX voltage of 5.1 is the limit.

Too many variables,

Were talking turbo's not superchargers!

Let me know how you go adrian! :)

doesnt matter whether its a supercharger or a turbo..

what im saying is, that afm's measure mass of air

the peak consumption of mass of air is at max power, not at max torque (unless that rpms also has max power), for any given period of time.

so yes, 2 engines making 300rwkw will show the highest voltage on the afm at peak power, and since they both make 300rwkw peak neither will max or both will max.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
