Hey guys i recently stuck my car in to get tuned, they reached about 9 psi and started to have issues with knockin.. etc scratched their heads for a while and worked out that the air fuel ratio was changing dramatically between runs without them changing any settings.. between high 10:1's to low 12:1's on boost

my mods are intank walbro fuel pump, power fc, fmic, full exhaust n a blitz ebc.. ive tried earthing the fuel pumps earth to the battery and the results remained much the same

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Jarrod

yeh i would of liked them to have done this but i wasnt there as i was at work, had a mate take it up.. the ppl that dynod it turned out to be completely useless coz they could of chekd the coilpaks n pressures while it was on a dyno, n i don't want to have to send it to another place n another dyno just to get the problem resolved, just would like to know some of the most likely causes.. the earth wire on the in tank fuel pump is exposed n a little corroded.. that couldnt be causing the issue could it?!!

located in perth guilt-toy, thanks for the pointers guys ill probally replace the fpr first and over the fuel pump becuz its the cheaper one to replace... are they any fpr's that are direct replacement that dont need adjusting? is the sard one any good?

It goes in this order

Test

If broken

Replace

Dont just go replacing random parts dude, test them, find the problem and then fix it the first time rather than bringing more problems into the equation

you said it was doing it under load, you must therefore test it in the same fashion

You 'can' do it on the street, but you wont be able to see the AFR's without a wideband and a proper read out.

Take it back to the dyno place and demand they do a semi-reasonable job. They did a half assed one last time

yeh i got a wideband with a datalogit.. i rang up the shop this morning n askd why they didnt test the fuel pressure n they claimed coz they were borrowin the dyno they didnt have their tools with them to do it ... so now i have the dilemma of sendin it to another shop with a dyno to diagnose.. why im tryin to just fix it myself coz all the shops in perth seem to be useless..

anyone know if a 180sx fuel pump will work in a r33 gts-t?!? i borrowed a girl my stock one because she thought her one was broken n claimed several ppl said it was the fuel pump so after we installed the fuel pump for her we found out she had a kink in her fuel line, when and got home, i tested her fuel pump n it still worked.. id swap them back sooner but shes in bali for a while .. so would it be fine to test a 180sx one in the skyline for a run to see if the afr's hold more steady on the wideband

ahh think i might just buy the new fuel pump.. standard wiring isnt the best anyway the earth wire is exposed and a little corroded so ill buy a full replacement one... so tomei or nismo?!! i know you probally can't go wrong with either but what one would allow for more hp?

Cheers for all the advice aswell guys

  • 2 weeks later...

hey guys sorry to bring up an old thread but im still having afr troubles, i bought a new tomei fuel pump to replace the walbro, no change still playing up... bought a sard adjustable fuel pressure regulator.. same results...varies between 12 n 14.4 around the 6psi mark... and varies between 9.5 and 12.2 around the 10 psi mark... im measuring the results with a innovative motorsports lc-1 hooked upto a lap top... has anyone else got any other ideas that could cause the results to vary so much

Cheers

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
