um no i dont have one really that i could lend you but you can just go buy one make sure it has a warranty then if you swap it over and the prob is still there just take it back and say its faulty.im not 100% sure if they can be electroncally tested maybe someone on here knows.but yeah good suggestion is to advance it first and see how you go.

thanks for the info, i think i will try a differnet cas and see if that fixes anything. its worth a try i guess.

just a quick question, is it that the car is just plain slow, or is it a start/stop/start/stop type of thing?

No its a start then stop thing. The tubo spools as normal but car serverley hisitates, almost undrivable, cant really take it over 2.5-3k

I dropped it into F.I.S.T. performance as they are local and one of the few workshops open today and the only works shop who would take the car with such little notice.

So fingers crossed i get it sorted and i will report back as to what the problem is.

I have found other posts with similar issues to what i experience but when they get it fixed no body reports how they fixed it :(

Hey guys! got it back from FIST performace, guys there where great very knowledgable.

Okay when it came in on the dyno it made 128rwhp.

List of things fixed.

- I had a busted fuel pressure regulator

- MY airflow meter was no good!! i tried 2 sensors previously and also resoldered one but that didnt solve it.

- Timming, The cas seems to be in a very advanced position, Tuner said for some reason this car needed a lot of timing to do anything. I know the car has had a rebuild from previous owner with pistons but thats all i know.

- boost 11psi

When it was sorted on the dyno it ran 270.9 RWHP or 202.1 RWKW.

Air fuel ratio varied from about 11.8 - 10. Tuner said it still runs very rich.

I have a SAFC neo comming so that should help things in that respect.

Does any one know why my car needs more timing than a normal r33?

And what do you guys think about the power figures? any thoughts?

Total aftermaket mods to this stage are,

- pod filter

- metal intake pipe

- walbro fuel pump

- FMIC delta fin style. piping is hybrid copy.

- dual stage turbo xs boost controller(low 9psi- high 11psi)

- GFB BOV switchable plumb back type.

Thanks for every ones ideas on this thread!

Are the Cams different?

Thats good power for 11psi.

It was more than just one thing wrong, no wonder you couldnt get it right.

I pretty happy :P

As far as i know the cams are stock, The previous owner claimed a rebuild and showed me some photocopy of a trade reciept for acl pistons but npothing else so i am doubtful if it is legit.

The Timing belt was changed a few months ago.

"R33S2" are u asking if the cams are differnet because the CAS seems to be in the far advanced position? im curious as to why this is too?

Yeah two things wrong makes it hard to diagnose, expecially when i ruled out airflow meter my trying two and resoldering one.

Cheers

it can mean a few things, aftermarket cams, timing belt fitted right??, qoute me if i'm wrong guys.

Check your Timing Belt Tensioner, they are a spring loaded mechanism from what i remember, if its broken timing belt could be far from taught and the reason you need to run spastic timing, if the covers are on your tuner wouldnt have seen shit.

Good to hear you got it sorted :P

Not surprised the AFM was a problem, but it's quite rare for the stock fuel pressure reg to die in my (limited) experience. I suppose they're not getting any younger so things are going to start playing up.

Dunno about the timing thing - maybe the cams have been timed, ie one or both have been advanced or retarded, so compared to where the CAS normally sits it might be a degree or two out. I'm probably completely off the mark but that's my best guess :rofl:

Your not wrong about these cars not getting any younger,

If it is the timing belt pretensioners woulnd they maybe casue the belt to slip? some times at idle there is a wirring sort of squiggle noise from the cas area. The cas bearings are fine so it may be a pretentioner?

Edited by tmc_2

maybe the timing belt has jumped a tooth on 1 of the cams. how many k's on the car (in total, not just since rebuild). it may be that when the engine was rebuilt they didn't replace the timing belt, and it is due to be changed.

my mates 180sx that is having similar problems is overdue for its second timing belt (its done over 200,000ks). we have to keep the timing fully advanced to get it to perform. we tried jumping a tooth with the cas and it was way too advanced. we think the timing belt may have jumped a tooth.

total kays are 125thou , timming belt done at 117thou and rebuild i am gussing some where between 90 to 110thou.

SO u htink its worth getting then to check the timming belt is its alligned correctly?

Will it be fine to just leave alone?

thans Mad082

so u've still got the stock ecu? prolly best to get a power fc (or other) and get it tuned properly. i.e lean it out a bit, then you'll also be able to pull some timing out. it'll go harder, and it wont chew as much fuel >_<

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
