Just went for a drive, got the below numbers.... injector duty highest reading was 85.2 at 13.4 psi. First time I have done this! I take it this could mean my injectors are the issue?

Packet Number0 32

Packet Size 32

RPM Decimal 5625

Load Decimal 74

Throttle Position 65.2

PSI Boost 13.4

Injector 1 Delivered 18.056

Injector 1 Acc Enrichment TICs 0

Injector 1 Duty Cycle 85.2

If those are peak values than you are clearly out of fuel if it's pushed any further.

The 3 (maybe 4) important ones there are

1) peak rpm of 5625 is still 1200 less than the stock rev limit so it would use more fuel if reved higher

2) 13.4psi is nothing. the turbo will happiliy stuff 20 odd psi into the engine if you let it and use more fuel if the boost is run to make decent numbers

3) duty is at 85 already so you have no more head room to play with already not even considering that you haven't really pushed it yet

and maybe 4) as i'm not 100% on this one but if the wolf is reading throttle position as a percentage you haven't even given it 2/3 throttle...

So even as it sits right now i think it is unsafe and if you do decide to give it a hit you could potentially cause damage.

This is basic stuff and it should have been brought it to your attention.

get the fuel pump and injectors sorted as a matter of urgency and turn the boost down in the mean time. You should have an adjustable actuator so wind off some preload.

hi mate, i guess its pretty clear now that you need to bump up your supporting mods in line with the 260ish rwkw you should be able to make, and that you should try a new tuner for not pointing that out to you :blink:

cheers

PS from memory i dont recall my 2835proS kit having an adjustable actuator, or does it?

Thats exactly right these are fundamental things and I have no idea why/how someone with an apparent high reputation could miss this???

Without painfully spending more $$ on a retune with another tuner and finding out the inevitable. I guess I may aswell purchase injectors and fuel pressure regulator then take it to a different tuner? I already have an aftermarket fuel pump.

But before I do this I will post the dyno chart tomorrow.

Tuner tells me "engine starts pinging when more timing is entered into the engine. Fuel is not an issue, I am getting plenty of fuel when needed." "The wolfs do a great job of getting plenty of fuel out of the stock injectors"

He says the reason why I am getting 85% at 13.4 psi is because he put a richer tune in the car to be safe.

Only other variable could be bad fuel?? Car had BP98 when tuned? Bad batch?

Yes Choku I have been told he FPR's are not really needed.

Love the whole thing about wolf geting heaps of fuel out of the injectors... If someone can tell how a computer can magicaly make a certain size orifice flow more id be very interested... Last few people ive heard trying this method with the wolf destroyed their pistons....

Mate, he's yanking your chain. 2-3 years ago there were a heap of guys from perth claiming big numbers from wolfs and stock injectors. Simple fact, 370cc/min injectors cannot flow more than 370cc/min at 100% duty. More fundamentals....

Make him guarantee it. Make him agree to the engine rebuild at his cost when it all goes pear shaped because you don't have enough fuel at 1 bar and the engine pings itself to death.

Those are exactly the incidents i was refering to. met one of the guys personaly, the repair wasnt cheap... Prety shure the worshop isnt arround these days either after that set of misshaps....

square peg round hole anyone?

stop trying to be a cheapass... you're only going to end up costing yourself 4k to try to save $700

Not the issue at all. I completely see the sense in spending $700~ on injectors, however the tuner repeatedly tells me that this IS NOT the issue as the duty cycle on the injectors was only 80% when the pinging began to occur.

My issue sounds almost identical to this one

No resolution in the end though???

so your @ 80%. Means your pretty much on the limit.

You do NOT push injectors to 100%.

You take them to about 85-90% at the most. Running something at its absolute maximum leaves no room for anything.

Its probably a case of your making 200rwkw (260rwhp), and they are 80% at that point which sounds much more reasonable.

Either way, they WILL be at 100%, BEFORE you reach the limit of a 2835. Its as simple as that

I can only suggest getting another opinion. A random dyno run at another workshop and another tuners opinion won't hurt before commiting to either injectors or engine rebuild.

I'm still a bit concerned by what he has said, particularly about the injectors only being at 80% when the pinging starts, yet your log shows you can easily push the car past that point as it stands....

tuners are a dime a dozen. if it came down to it, i'm sure you'd rather ditch your tuner than ditch your engine. so put it to the test. get another opinion.

you'd be surprised how quick your loyalties change, if you find out you've been fed a load of bullshit ;)

holy f**k mate, people here are 10x more experienced than this tuner. Are you listening? Sack the tuner, and get another. If you don't, you will have no power, a shit tune, and eventually a dead engine. And if you rebuild your engine, you are going to need injectors anyway.

I'm a tuner - I have a Stock RB25 and Garret 3037 pushing 314rwkw. SACK YOUR TUNER, and stop defending him. He's a liar and a cheat. I've dealt with plenty just like him.

oh and 370cc injectors are only good for a max of 230rwkw. Anything more, they'll leak, f**k up, and you'll blow your engine.

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
