hey all

just got my car tuned ..finally after so much rain up here

(nth qld) anyway all was going well till a fuel pump fuse blew....dont know why it blew... just as i came off power in 3rd gear whilst The Mafia was trying to tune it.. stopped in the worst spot on the highway could not get out to get down low enuf to see the fuses under dash....so we just bridged the power wire for the pump to get home....so with the fuse changed away i went..mods are

rb25det

gt3076 .82 or .84 rear.... maybe should have gone .6 mmm

greddy copy plenum

555cc nismos

snow performance water meth injection..

split dump 3 inch right through

spitfire coils

z32 afm

power fc

fmic

turbosmart boost tee....got to be changed...gizzmo needed:)

3inch cooler pipework

pulls hard got a deadspot in second gear bogs down after gear change..

changing plugs tommrow fixing cat converter leak

and EBC see if that changes anything...

mafia will tidy up the tune hopefully next weekend.

only really had an hour and 45 mins tuning so i am really happy

no sign of knock thanks to wmi kit..

running around 18 psi

im am suspect of my bov leaking under pressure

cant wait till the tune is completed :)

big thanks to Mafia :D

Did you check the castings on the greddy copy plenum compared to the gasket?? Some of them can be REALLY bad!!

I've actually heard a few people bitch about a "lean patch" on the stock pfc fuel map, present just where the motor is coming onto boost where there is not enough fuel in the engine to make the power you need coming onto boost but the cylinder pressures arn't high enough to cause detonation yet either..

Never really had this problem myself though as I don't use the stock fuel map for long :P

Perhaps if she's already got as much ignition wound into her as possible in said spot this could account for the dead patch?

ok update on the flat spot.......i put the larger nozzle in by mistake had a 625ml/m nozzle instead of the 325 i wanted to use...anyhow i put the smaller nozzle in and it has helped alot no more dead spot..if i roll in 1st then stab it and hit second it just frys the tyres..(brand new 245).6 rear housing the mafia has used i noticed its got just a littl3e bit more poke in the lower rev range in 3rd and 4th , when i hit full boost its like a truck hits you i the ass...just got a good supply of meth aswell so im stocked loving it....:D

it really is a sweet set up...basically copied what worked on Mafias car. i got the greddy plenum..is about the only known difference....(unsure on cams or internals that may/ may not have been changed) as far as i know mines stock as internally hope to get it dynoed today...then get tune touched up and re dyno it....

if anyone wants decent power

cant go past this setup it just seems to all go together...all i am lacking is an EBC to try to keep my boost under control.and possibly a stronger bov i htink it might be leaking under the higher boost.... i noticed on my way home before i floored it in 3rd

and i hit 15 psi and stayed there for probably 1.5 sec then went all the way to 19 maybe having a waste gate issuse it seemded to linguire on 15 then rocket past it..using very little meth now too...44$ a drum 20L lasts a while ...

the greddy copy i got was pretty good from the others i have seen...

i put the gasket over the plenum to check if it lines up ...i die grinded some parts...water galleries were the worst....all in all i happy as with it

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
