Hi there.

Got the Fc datalogit, laptop, LM1 hooked up to fc datalogit, and a apexi power FC.

Now I need to know how the Af should be..

Could someone rougfly point out what AF ratio I should aim for, layed out on the 20 x 20 inj map. Not each map point, just say the first 5 x 5 should be around XX, then up to 10 x 10 it should be around XX..

Thanks.

Best Regards

Ronni

the first 10 rows should be aiming at about 14.8:1

After that, I'd start richening up the mixture row by row until you can get the last line the car uses to run about 12:1.

I'll get a picture and show you in a sec

it all depends on the engine and setup that your running.

some cars need to run a little richer to run correctly on lower load points.

I find that some cars can run fine at 14.7 on cruise across the whole board but some cars will run like a dog and will need to be richen'ed up to around 13.6...

For AFR on boost it also depends on how modified the car is. If you have a stockish car then 12 afr is fine... if your pushing alot of power then its good to run it in the low 11's to keep the engine cool.

I disagree with that statement.

I'd still run a flat 12:1, as any lower starts to rob you of power an is just rumming the engine too rich. If the car is overheating, then there is something wrong with the Coolant system.

I'm running 13:1 afrs with water methanol injection. Engine sits at about 79 degrees after a few hard runs.

I'd only go richer if its pinging and taking timing out doesn't stop it in that area, but I have never come across this so I don't you should either.

this is what I run without WMI as promised:

Why do people allways run their cars on the edge to get max power at the expense of reliablility ?

Running a engine hard on .85's can work yes. But what if there is a bad batch of fuel in the question ? or a fuel pump starts to fail a little or a fuel reg does something silly it could change the afrs to .87 .88's on a highly tuned engine after a short time you will have a broken engine.

I like to see mine running at .80's and .82's when im pushin 25psi and 360rkw.. sure i could bag a extra 20kw if i leaned it off but i ike my engine and i want it to last.

More power is not allways better.. reliability is where its at as far as i am concerned

If you have a really good quality fuel system and EGT's in each cyl to make sure every cyl is getting the exact amount of air and fuel as each other and you are 100% sure everything is working correctly then sure run it lean...

Using water changes everything and you can run it leaner.

well, of course your going to run that kind of richness at that power and boost, but that kind of boost is probably too high? Have you considered looking at a turbo that provided more flow? Or maybe some cams?

Remember, boost is bad, its a measure on how much the engine is resisting the air your trying to push into it.

But if your talking 11.2:1 afrs, I still thats simply too low for even your setup. I'd look at 11.5 - 11.8. All you need to do is watch the knock, and I bet if tuned properly, there wouldn't be any at all any way.

Its not the fuel (to an extent) you should be focussing on when you want the engine to last, its timing. Pull the timing out if you think its going to ping \ blow up \ be running on edge.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
