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?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
