Hi there,

I am attempting to tune my newly installed rb20 in my r31 drift Pintara but am struggling to tune the wolf i have also installed! I am using the map sensor for load, no tps. but as the revs rise to about 3500/4000 and the boost creeps to around 5psi, it missfires, pops and farts and regardless of how much throttle i give it it will not clear or rev/boost higher, and then on returning to idle overfuels like crazy and needs to be leaned out before it will idle smoothly and then require to be richened back up to keep the smooth idle? I am using R34 coils out of my other motor to do away with the ignitor pack so the wiring is neater, i am using .8 milliseconds to charge them as i burned out a few on 1.8 previously. Does anyone know what charge/discharge times i should be using for the r34 coils. And any opinions or advice on what MAY help? Should i be using the tps for load?

Thanks In Advance!

Paul

Better off connecting the TPS

and Dwell timing for standard coils i think should be around 2.5

are they wired in correctly

Best bet is to stick it on the dyno and check what is happening

Need to be able to drive to get to the dyno the closest guy i trust to tune a wolf is 1.5 hours away i live far away from any one usefull closest stocked auto shop of any descripion is bout half hour away! And as for dwell timing wolf told me to run 1.8 for the standard coils and about 1.0 for the r34 ones, i lowered that value again as it makes no difference and i dont wanna spend heaps on more coils again!

if you live in melb...take it to EAS..they will tune ur ecu the best. experts in wolf 3d :) speak to Vic - 9330 2001

Thanks, but i'm in nsw been talking with Alex Blackson from Redline Rotary (great guy might i add) he loves his rotaries but spends most of his time working on skylines and the like as they seem to be more common! Seen a few of his wolf powered skylines running smooth as!

.8 will be a bit low, maybe try 1.2, although i dont think this is your problem, can you stick a scope on the cas, did you put a wolf trigger disc in it? Anyhow, alex should be able to sort it out in no time, and he's very reasonable in price too.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
