Hey guys, i finally got my turbo n everything running correctly.. so i give the car a tune at first myself and after a week the whole tune turned rich again.. so i retuned it a few times then thought i may of been doing something wrong... so i called a few workshops and they just said the usual "oh it just needs a "proper" tune", so i sent it to be tuned n made 408rwhp on 19psi which wasnt to bad, so for the first few days it wasnt to bad and i runned a wideband on it... nice 14.7s on light cruise to 11.5's-11.6s on full boost..

So a few days later it started to feel abit slower and chewing a fair bit more fuel so i put the wideband back on it.. its now runnin 12s-13s around town.. n 10.9's-11.1's on full boost...

Is there anything else other than the ecu that could be causing this weird problem??

btw the ecu is a power fc pro

nismo 740cc injectors

sard fpr.. but the fuel pressure hasnt changed on it

Cheers

the stock o2 sensor might be messing with the afr's. what happens is you pull out the stock narrowband to fit the wideband, then tune it while the narrowband isnt reading anything. then you put the stock narrowband back in and it messes everything up again. my mate had the same problem with his pfc.

try unplugging the stocky completely and see where that gets you. your other alternative is to get your tuner to tune the car with the wideband that hooks into the rear of the exhaust and leave your stock narrowband in.

Turn 02 Sensor feedback OFF. If your tuner forgot to do that id be really worried.

Check out Paulr33's PFC FAQ to decipher which jap symbol means OFF and which one means ON.

Keep an eye on AFRs after that.

vacuum /boost leak..... cheack over cooler pipe joins etc. 02 sensor feedback wont effect anything other than cruise and light load, full throttle is derived purely from specific map values..

oh turbo could be on its way out, check boost curve.

      Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.

      What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
