**update** Running Untuned With New Turbo In!...waiting On Pump/injectors/afm


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, an update to my previous topic, which is stil bellow if you want to check what was happening before:

Anyway, I got too excited and decided to put the new turbo in... took about 8 hours... after a few little dramas...... which Tao(Hypergear) helped me fix at NO cost and was fantastic about the whole situation and said he would help his customers when neccessary just because he wants to make everyone happy... the car was going well...

and it now is absolutely flying... on standard turbo injectors and pump it is at about 93% at about 6,000 so I don't rev any higher... but I swear... it boosts straight away! as soon as I change gears at about 2,500-3,000 there is already about 5 psi cumming in and by 3,300-3,400 I am on 11 psi and it feels really strong with this turbo... alot more then the standard turbo at 12 psi........ My actuator wont go much higher then 13 psi because it is soft... because of the n/a compression I didn't want to go any higher in the start.. but man... this thing at 18 psi would rip :thumbsup:

so I now just have the injectors/ afm/ fuel pump to put in ( and tune)... but it already feels so quick....least the biggest thing is out the way :(

what do you guys recon of the turbo?... I have never had a new or bigger turbo before... does this all sound about right? what should happen with the tune?

Kind regards

Adam

hey guys,

I recently got my new hypergear tr43 and I have that sitting on my floor as well as a set of nismo 740cc injectors and a z32 with plug. the only thing left that I have to get to put into the car before a tune is a new fuel pump.

I plan to get it tuned by Dr. Drift in a few weeks after I have cash for the fuel pump asap... my question is... can I drive the car (!very sensibly!) with the injectors, afm, turbo and soon a fuel pump without a tune? or any combination of those... ie... turbo and afm or injectors and fuel pump......or is it just too risky?

othernwise I will have to put it all in the day before I take it to Sam (Dr. Drift)?

I have a power fc + commander, as well as a spare stock ecu... which one would be better to drive around on?

Thanks in advance,

Adam

im in a similar boat but i have a safe tune until i have time to take it to the dyno. i have Uprated fuel pump

updated 660cc injectors Apexi Power FC ECU GT35 BB Turbo, and i get about 200kms to the tank driving like a granny .

Wow that makes me look even worse, my car has stock turbo any everything just the mod's in my sig and driving (as conservatively as i can lol) i only get about average 260km's to a full tank and ive averaged it on about 3-4 times ive filled up to the max and checked how many Km's..

But yeah WYTSKY ive been told by alot of people you'd be best to put it all on before the tune because it will run horrid

Z32 and larger injectors = the car wont run, least of all from Bentleigh to Sam's workshop

Ring City Wide towing (Jack, he is a member here), get it towed there and bobs your uncle.

Cheers

thank you very much for the info guys, I hate to say it but your bad experiences do help others :(

that is as much as I thought would happen... leaning out...running horribly and going through heaps of fuel...

i was hoping i would be able to fit everything except the injectors.. i am surprised at the z32...so if i put that in it wont go?

and yes r31nismoid... it will be a fair bit of a haul from bentleigh.... :thumbsup: I may take the towing route up there...

Thanks again guys, you've saved my car once again.

how to enter the new injector sizes and select the z32 are covered in the PFC FAQ in my signature

if you know the injector size and latency you can dial them in

you can select the VG30 afm from the airflow menu

this should be enough to get it to run and idle

if you get it wrong or trash the pants off it = you'll risk the motor

there's no reason you couldn't get it to run if you put the turbo, injectors and fuel pump in, when I put my Z32 on i didn't cut my old plug off i spliced the wires i needed to and left it with 2 plugs, so it can easily be put back to stock if needed, do this before you take it to get tuned so you can change over the AFM when you get there save your self a couple of tanks of fuel for the price of the tow!

Set your injector correction to 50% based of stock flow injector 370cc ( if you have other than standard injectors this may be diff), don't know the latency correction but this isn't that important tuner will sort it

the rest will take care of itself, pop the AFM in when you get to his workshop (5 minutes) and presto. I don't think you're taking a big gamble driving it untuned unless you go boosting all over the place, self control and you'll save a fair whack of coin.

Good luck if you're goging to give it a try.

Cheers Matt.

if you have the fc and hand set there's no reason you can't set the afm and injector size and latency corrections and drive sensibly to the dyno. It has a reasonable base map.

It's not that hard. pauls faq covers it all.

And the joy of the pfc is that if it knocks, the pfc will tell you, so you just pull a couple of degrees timing out of it on the fuel/ign menu (i think) or just drive with less throttle input.

thanks very much guys, and paul i forgot about your awsum faq site :D im sure that should help...but that is good news about the injectors

and some good ideas with the z32...

I have been controlling myself for the past few weeks with my current setup.... its hard but i would keep doing it to save money:P...damn those excels...so quick when you can't go over 3,000 :P

Regards,

Adam

You guys are idiots 200k's to a tank. Bye Bye catlytic convter, bye bye spark plugs, bye bye nice nissan piston ring seal with washed bores, hello combustion chamber carbon build up (possible leading to hot spots) bye bye oil, hello turbo coke build up. I can see the ice caps melting through your plume of fuel smoke so pull your head out of your arses and stop giving skyline owners the automatic penis attachment to there foreheads!!

hold up... i just bought some bosch plantnum irridiums... or irridiums..i don't know...buti paid $120 bucks for them and they are meant to last a while.......

they aren't going to go are they? :banana:

also... i never realised how powerful the powerfc has been untill now..it does appear to make all this alot easier

and rob82: venting a lil are we?

I think I just solved my problems... according to whereis.com my place is 28km away from Dr. Drift's shop... and being a basic racv member you get 30km tilt tray towing for free :D ... I just better check the car turns on after putting everything onto it...

Iridi are a waste of money... i dunno what is with people lately... i reckon i've posted that in 10 threads in the past 4 days.

Coppers coppers coppers!!!

Less than $20 - NGK, and overall workout cheaper than Iridi/Plati etc

ok then, thanks for that... i didn't think they would be that expensive... but then your at the counter of supercheap with a line behind you thinking i could get some cheapy coppers and you go, nar i'll lose my spot and these are more expensive... so they will be better :D

obviously not... ta

Adam

In a tuned application coppers are less prone to fouling than iridium plugs. Iridiums are great if your car is stock and your not wanting to change plugs every oil change, or 2nd oil change.

With copper and depending on how well your car is tuned the plugs will last (reliably) anywhere from 5000-15000k. Thats based on my personal experiences with my previous skyline which occasionally ran an anti-lag system. It was an r32 gts4 rb20det making about 370awhp. I used to get about 220k/tank when driving like a maniac, and 560k/tank on the open road.

BCPR7-ES from memory...

hey man sounds like your a bit upset, we aren't recommending that he drive his car around for months pumping unburt fuel out the exhaust, just suggesting some ways he may be able to not only save himself some money, but also learn something as well.

Take a chill pill, and if you're going to talk about melting Ice caps you better drive a honda jazz or a hybrid, not have an lcd screen and store water in your rain water tank... if you get my drift.

Cheers Matt.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
