Hmmm. Went for a dyno test and my car only got 156.3hp at the wheels. Never seen a graph like this before. Fully stock engine except for a FMIC. The mechanic said that my engine is running LEAN and that there is more air than fuel. He suggested that i change the fuel pump. My current fuel pump is working and spraying lots of fuel when ignition is switched "ON". I wanted to be sure that's it's the fuel pump as that costs like over $400 new here. So any suggestions?

And one more thing, can someone tell me how to read this dyno chart. I'm lost but i do know that the line shouldn't go back to the vertical one.

Thanks to information contributed by some of the SAU members through PM and the information i got from the SAU forums, i got the lean and boost problem sorted out. Bought a NISMO 4.1L Fuel Pump to fix the Running Lean problem and a HKS Adjustable Actuator to fix the low boost problem. The Actuator is set at 0.6bar at the moment. I also bought the Adjustable Fuel pressure regulator but didn't get to use it.

Dyno results;

204.2hp @ the wheels

250.7hp @ the flywheel

Not bad considering it still has stock internals, stock turbo & stock injectors.

The stock turbo holds boost well at 0.6bar and can hear it spooling at around 2000rpm.

The one thing i do notice is that my fuel economy has risen. Before the problem was fixed, i can only get 300km. Now i can get over 400km to a tank which is a very good improvement.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
