What's Wrong With My Car?

Hi guys,

I recently got my Power FC tuned and while I drive heaps of black spots build up on the rear bumper.

I am not sure whether is un-burnt fuel or oil, but I know it's a pain in the ass to get off because I have to use the buffer to get it off (it doesn't just wipe off with a cloth)

My mods are as follows:

GReddy Front mount I/C

SplitFire Coil Packs

Power FC

Straight through 3.5 inch exhaust

Pod filter with custom Cold air intake

Bosch 040 Fuel pump

Standard Turbo

Running 12 PSI

I've also attached a photo of my dyno print out, the AFR's seem correct at 12, right?

Could my tuner just be sh!t and stuffed something up and now the car spits out black stuff?

I checked my oil level, it seems fine, so I doubt it would be oil on the rear bumper?

Any suggestions guys?

Thanks

Hi guys,

got my car tuned recently, just wondering if this is about what people get with the same AFRs and same mods.

Also, are MY AFR's fine at 12? is that too rich?

my mods are as follows:

GReddy Front mount I/C

SplitFire Coil Packs

Power FC

standard dump to 3.5 inch front pipe exhaust

Pod filter with custom Cold air intake

Bosch 040 Fuel pump

Standard Turbo

Running 12 PSI

Is my figure of 194rwkw about right?

Is the power curve any good?

Cheers

Yeah mate that seems pretty decent considering your running a standard dump pipe.

cruising a/f is nothing like full throttle, unless you are flat foot 100% of the time, that dyno sheet tells you nothing about fuelling.

your car is likely running a bit rich, but othere than the mess its not necessarily a big deal. get someone to drive behinf you and check how much smoke comes out.

Yep that sounds about right

Must go heaps better now with the tune

Ohh yeah, heaps more mid range power, as you can see in the graph.

Only one problem now, I get heaps of exhaust residue on my rear bumper, not sure why?? :/

Maybe a crappy tunner?

I've gotten someone to drive behind me, I hit and and gae it it's max, and the person said not even a little bit of smoke came out, maybe it happens when cruising?

The a/f at 12 is OK with the new tune, reasonably straight line right through the curve. The power curve itself doesn't look quite right, its jittery. With a pfc the tuner should have been able to make it much more progressive and smooth.

For examples, have a look at the R33 RB25 thread at the top of this section and pick a couple that are in your power range with a pfc.

Back on topic :)

Spots on bar?

What rear muffler have you got? Short tip?

Do you warm the car up for a good time, with a roller garage door behind you etc?

The muffler is an Invada exhaust, and I do have a highflow cat. Not too sure what you meant by long/short tip so I took some photos.

I find that the black spots on my rear bar come about when driving.

I always let my car warm up for a minimum of 3 minutes before driving it anywehere.

It could also be from the atmo. BOV come to think of it, because when it releases the pressure, the car would run rich, making it spit out black stuff....

I might try putting the stock plumb back on.

Thanks for the help so far guys.

Actually, come to think of it, I had my Atmo. BOV on my car before the tune and it didn't have that black stuff on the rear bumper! So it's probably not the BOV..... Hrmmmm :D

PS. yes there were to runs done on the dyno, one was b4 I got the power FC installed (AFR 10.5:1), and the other was after the tune (AFR 12:1).

Should I take it back to my tuner and tell him the the curve isn't smooth as it should be?

Maybe the AFM was maxing out and couldn't get good flow measurements?

the bottom red line is the drive in reading and the top one is the tuned result.

If you did not pay more then $600 for a full tune then they did not tune it in cruise.

Get a cruise tune, if your in nsw i can do it for $200

10.5:1 AFR's under load is horrible tuning.

Get it tuned again. Could also be the fuel reg possibly failing

I am in ACT.

I paid $440 for my tune including install of the Power FC.

Where abouts in NSW are you?

I didn't know the Power FC can tune in Cruise mode and in 'underload ' mode??

I do noticed when I am only lightly accelorating that the car jerks faintly..... COuld this be the reason? Maybe cruise mode the AFR's are sh!t, hence spitting out unburnt fuel?

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
