yeah afm surging is a known issue when the afm is close to such a large compressor inlet

put a bend in the pipe work between the afm and the compressor inlet, that should sort it out

or make long and a bend

hey guys

I been re-tuning my car in the lasst couple of weeks.. long story why it needed a re-tune but i started to do it with the Hand Controller as i dont own the PFC adapter myself.

Anyway i found this issue appeared on my car!! I ended up finding out (after a long time muckin around) that my TPS was set incorrectly. It took me 3 goes to get it right.

How i did it was losened off the 2 phillips head screws and then moved the tps untill i heard it click. then held it there and tested the throttle - the idea is to have the throttle move as little as possible before the tps clicks.

The way i got it was made it click and then moved it very slightly as well before doing the screws back up and that fixed the problem for me.

Although my engine was leaning off bad when it was missing like that.

Hope this helps

Finaly got round to going over more,

Fitted my tomei pump and ensured the correct 300kph at idle with no vac

Lengthened the intake by almost half a meter and put in 2 90deg bends, no change, also tried with no filter, and a spare maf.

Cleaned out the CAS that was nasty, still no change

set TPS all over the place, no change, though i didnt notice the click? S1's click as well?

Threw new plugs in with .85mm gap, yep, no change....

Pulled the fuel rail off the head, no leaks, no dribbles, all the testing all the bottles were evenly filled,

Compression tested it, 155psi +/- 3 psi for all.

I then sat long and hard and thought, I only realy noticed the slight miss after i fitted the gizzmo launch controler, I think it might be making problems, going to un-solder the wires and use 6 pin electrical connectors so i can remove and re-install it easy...

I have now gone over everything electrical, nothing has changed, i have fcked with every setting in the pfc, no change, full re-set on the pfc, no change.

its amazing how my 1975 Datsun 1200 runs better.

I have 2 suspicions, either my coils might be the source of the problem, or it is because of the large size of the q45 throttle body. Very little throttle percentage lets in large amounts of air into the plenum and Im suspecting the pfc doesnt let go of the "idle" mode.

It could be this that agrivates it, but I think it could be my splitfires failing, I only noticed it start doing the miss about 2 weeks after fitting a gizmo launch controler, which I have now removed and it still runs with a slight miss.

I am going to try stock coil packs out of another S1 I have tonight and see if there is any change.

Besides testing ohm's between + and - on the coils, what other testing specs are there on the ignitor and coil packs? want to get to the bottom of this problem, did a search but all i found was people wrapping them up.

I had a very similar problem on my all-but stock R33. I would be driving at very low throttle through say a car park and the rev would drop JUST below the minimum needed not to stall. This would happen at lights too while trying to sedately take off. Very annoying. My mechanic only found it by bashing my TPS with a hammer (he was getting desperate lol) while the car was idling - the voltages went berko and all over the place. He said they looked fine while just measuring them normally, but a bit of stress or a bump or whatever and it was game over. Might be that. Get violent :)

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
