just finished final tuning on my mates rebuilt GTR

no real problems as such, but just a minor concern that we'd like some opinions on.

when under full throttle the acceleration doesn't seem smooth, and the engine seems to be leaning out too much, rather than running richer, as it apparently should be. this is especially up to about 3500rpm (no, its not lag), then another somewhat flat spot between 4200 - 4600rpm.

we can up the fuel with the haltech (in those areas, and others if we need to), but obviously, its using 30-40% more fuel than it should be by doing this (depending on how much it is increased).

Now, the tuner thinks this may have something to do with the injectors being slightly lazy (we sourced them from a user that had them in his 34 GTR, were 1000km old - flow fine - def not broken or anything). I know standard 34GTR injectors are different than standard 32GTR injectors, but aren't aftermarket nismo injectors universal??

Or, it may be because the haltech is being used with the standard wiring loom, and not the full haltech loom.

Now I am not a technician or mechanic myself, so I am trying to relay this message as accurately and completely as possible, to see if anyone has had similar problems.

I'll try my best to answer any questions you may have to help...

Any constructive opinions are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Beau

What makes the R34 GTR standard injectors different to the R32 GTR injectors apart from their body being silver rather than the 32's black?

I had mine flow tested. 40psi 480cc; which is what they should be according to tomei.

Off the top of my head tomei had the gtr injectors down as...

36.5psi - 444cc

40psi - 480cc

46psi - 520cc

Topaz... thanks mate... that info may help a bit... I was sure that they were simply RB26 specific, not different throughout the models!

cubes... apparently the 34GTR injectors are shorter than the 32GTR ones....

My 34 GTR injectors were identical in height and looks *apart from colour* to my Rb20DET injectors.

This was from the Tuner's mouth.. that they are different in height... I cannot confirm it myself.

Did the tuner have a fuel pressure gauge on the car whilst on the dyno, to check fuel pressure under load?

yes, they tested the fuel pressure at multiple places from tank to the injectors... no apparent problems/changes.

hrmm. haltec. similar problems ive heard of. just like my autronic. ps.. is it tuned throttle/map or just map?

obviously the maps can be and I believe are somewhat customised... not 100% sure on the details... I do remember him saying the haltechs are very similar to the autronics in the way they have to be tuned... especially compared to say the power fc that already has base maps to start from.

Haltech's and autronic are completely different ecu and are tuned in a completely different manner. Not sure if the haltech can be throttle/pressure mapped but it does sound like this could be an issue. Does the tuner have a good reputation?

Fuel pressure

Timing

Spark plugs

A/F

Things to pay real big attention to !!!

Hmmm... I must have misheard him... I'm sure he mentioned autronic in there somewhere....

I will see what he says about the throttle/pressure mapping.

compared to the tuner that originally had his hands on it, these guys seem to have a good rep.... no bad stories I've heard anyway. (then again, I'm sure all places have good and bad stories)

Fuel pressure

Timing

Spark plugs

A/F

I know he tested diff plugs, tried splitfire coils, checked and dbl checked fuel pressure all along the system.

Can't remember what he said about timing.

Its air flow is read thru map sensor, so not sure how this would affect A/F ratios etc

Thanks for everyones help so far!!

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
