hi i drive this

skyline-1.jpg

so i got my car tuned last week and have been having nothing but problems

and the dyno is whacked looking

dyno2.jpg

current mods are: safc neo, custom t3 (stock compressor housing bored out with a bigger wheel, t3 exhuast housing), sard fpr, greddy fmic, 3inch straight pipe

can anyone tell me why there is a huge "dip" in the powerband?

need ecu

meh alot of money went out this past month so it will have to wait

which baffles me is that my car has run perfectly fine in the past with about the same amount of hp

any other ideas?

AFM maxing out by the looks of it and hitting airflow cut. How you managed even that power on the stock AFM is interesting....

Also, you aren't running the standard injectors and fuel pump are you?

ya stock injectors and fuel pump

prolly back the hp down to around 230-250 or so

i've ran that power before with nps

but i think it's just way too lean

takin git back to the dyno friday

so hopefully everything will be sorted by then

or it rather be

ha

Yep AFRs are horrible, knock sensor is probably going nutso

huh?

AFR's look fine to me, sitting on 12:8 - 13:1 quite consitently. Dosn't seem anything wrong there

Gets a slight leanout as the RPM goes up, but that looks to be totally controlled by the tune as its not sharp, its slight, even and linear.

270rwhp is 200rwkw, which is what is probably the limit of the stock turbo.

And as your the aftermarket turbo, its likely reaching the AFM limit as stated. Every car is different with the AFM. Some are fine, some dont like it. Just how each seem to be really.

I'd be looking to

1. Change the fuel pump (do it regardless)

2. Upgrading the AFM

In the short term to get it driving nice, smooth and so on. Retune required there.

3. As i'd roughly say the turbo should make 340rwhp or so (hard to tell but thats what id be expecting), injectors might not be a bad investment at some point depending on how 1 & 2 go.

Cheers

remember ppl US power is about 20 to 40 % more then Aussie power. We work on true HP figures not the fairy HP that gets quoted on the other side of the globe.

that AFR is too lean. i would not let any car off the dyno with a AFR like that unless the owner knows it needs to be fixed. IMHO

Couldn't disagree with this more - so bored of hearing Aussies say that. If any dynos could be said to read "untrue", its Aussie dynos. Low reading doesn't mean more true.

Very much agreeing with that - not sure why sd9k is asking for advice and then basically ignoring it. Sd9k - you are LUCKY that you haven't blown your engine up running that kind of setup, the ECU is obviously trying to save it and with no help from the S-AFC.

A Neo by no stretch of the imagination gives you a decent proper tune, and you shouldn't be running a bigger turbo like that with stock AFM/injectors/pump. I am pretty damn sure anything else you try at this stage will not work, a proper ECU and associated fuelling changes are the first things you should be considering. Really - you should have done that before changing the turbo if limited funds are an issue.

Haven't people been tuning around that a lot lately?

More higher end tuners etc.

I cant remember exactly ;)

Okay so your saying aussie dyno's read low compared to the ones used in the US ? that would explain a few things.

and yes that car needs some serious attention. if you drive it hard like that it will blow in a matter of time. Take the advice given by these guys, computer, injectors and fuel pump is a MUST for this car or you will destroy the engine, have to buy a replacement and then still be where you started from.

Dyno Dynamics are pretty much the lowest reading dynos used anywhere. Again, that doesn't mean they are more or less accurate - they just put smaller numbers out.

i'm not ignoring advice at all man

i just don't come on here that much

but as far as the car is concerned right now

the guy who was supposed to retune the car never returned my calls

so i said f**k it and returned the boost back down to stock

and all of the corrections on the safc back down to 0 and the car runs fine like it did

and as far as the turbo on the car, it came like that when i bought it so i didn't really have a choice in the matter

but thankfully i'm coming into some moeny here next week like 1k bucks

so i'm pretty hyped

going to buy 550cc injectors, GTR fuel pump, and a z32 maf

is an ecu reflash a good idea or should i just wait to get a PFC

i've heard nothing but good things about PFC so i'm assuming that's the standard esp for RB's

but i'm open to other options as well

thank you all for the support and advice :cool:

Cheers.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
