Alright I was just wondering what is the leanest afr you guys would consider safe. Basically I have a stock rb26 with no boost restrictor, exhaust and a FMIC, so the boost is around 15psi. had the car on a dyno and the afr ratio was mostly in the high 11s and low 12s but spiked at about 12.9. Is this getting pretty dangerously lean? Thanks for any help. Also what AFR would you recommend tuning to when I get PFC?

As NYTSKY said you 11.8 is safe! Don't risk it with 12.9!! I know many tuners that tune with afrs like yours but it is risky and to have many horsepower!

Better safe than sorry!

If you have with 15psi 12.9, try 12psi or less!!

Better safe than sorry!

Buy a PFC or remap your stock ecu. It is cheaper than to rebuild your engine!!

Better safe than sorry!

So the stock injectors should be good enough to keep up with the 15psi? Also is anyone sure what the boost is without the boost restrictor on a GTR? My car is swapped so I am not positive that the turbos are stock, since i got the motor with 30k on it. though I am pretty sure cause they appear to be stock. Also yes it is a stock computer. Fuel pump is a walbro 255lph so I would think it would be fine. I am gonna get it back on the dyno in a couple weeks and take another look at the afr.

A print out of the dyno sheet... power vs AFR & power vs boost would be able to tell me if its dangerous or not. The first one would help if thats all you have.

I will post a dyno sheet when if i can get ahold of one. Also what should the stock wastegate boost pressure be for the stock turbos? my car is boosting between 15 and 18psi. seems like that is higher than it should be.

12.9 isnt dangerous if you have timing to match, which out of a stock ECU shouldnt be too bad, but still dont drive it hard, i'd get it tuned properly first. that said i have seen cars (R34 GTR is the first one that comes to mind) that came out of racepace and was on a dyno elsewhere, its A:F ratio was 13:1 up top, and i believe thats just how it was tuned. i quizzed the dyno operator on it and said he'd seen it a few times from racepace adn it works fine, just less margin of error for crap fuel etc.

point is, i wouldnt say its bad if racepace is doing it (that said i could be entirely wrong lol)

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
