Hi People

Looking for possible causes or Idea's as to why my engine is leaning out at high rpm.It has a new nismo fuel pump 4.1l/m sard 550cc injectors, sard fuel pressure regulator at standard pressure, aftermarket fuel rail and after market high volume fuel filter and has fairly high hp.Any one got any idea's , some that have been thrown at me already are fuel pump not fast enough and the plenum ?

cheers Peter

hi, how do u know that it is leaning out high in the rev's is this on a dyno? i'd be checking the tuning as it may just be a matter of adding more fuel with whatever computer ur running.. also what sort of power you making? is 550cc injectors big enough for that much power? just some suggestions. also might be worth bumping up the base pressure on the reg to say 40psi if its not already?

The Tuner, said that he was having trouble with it running lean top end and it was something to keep my eye on but on the dyno day we just had they backed of at 5300rpm because of it .FPR is set at 45psi, computer is haltec e11v2,and from all my research ! 550cc injector will flow enough for 110hp so 6 should be good for 660hp ,Only whish I had that much.

with the e11v2 u can temperely fix this by adjusting the full wide open throttle map, so when WOT is reached these values override the base map.

other than that u should put exhaust temp probes on each exhaust runner to determine which is leaning, if u find that an individual cylinder is leaning then i would look to the plenum.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
