Tao are those two graphs up there your exact AFR's, what your wide band reads(I read that is how trent does his tuning, writes his table to target afrs then adjust af curve to meet this)?

My car is being really weird, sometimes it will idle at 14 othertimes I see it idling at 11.1. Can you get me a similar screen dump of a SS2 target afr, what afr you actually want to see come out the exhaust pipe.You run 9's in the top end, isn't that really really low of an afr? Surely it could be a little leaner...

What AFM you got? a GENUINE Bosch Z32? Mine was doing the same thing on my tune with a copy Z32..

Genuine Bosch Z32. It was fine until I fiddled with my intake pipe(don't anyone give me shit for this) but I don't see how it could have had that much effect on it. My car has always been rich on idle just sometimes feels richer than others. I haven't kept an eye on temps or any other corrections though...

How does it go at higher rpm? I'm assuming you have a wideband if you can see what it's doing? The target AFRs are just that, a target. The true value depends on things like k-constant (injector values) etc. My target AFR at idle on my fuel map is 14.7, but my true AFR is about 17.5.

So a screen dump of target values probably won't help much.

*EDIT* Sorry, just reread what you wrote and I think you're already aware of what I said :P

^ Indeed I am lol. How the f**k are you managing such a lean idle? My car lean pops anywhere close to 14... I do have a wideband uego. Ill take the car for a run next time I have access to a laptop and do some logging with afrs on a table. Should be interesting to see how well this wideband responds.

This is the timing and fuel map for the SS2 off my test car in April this year.

Pretty much all my afrs are between 11~11.5 range.

Also another SS3 prototype tested yesterday night. Made similar power as the G3 with slightly better response. It looks like my current setup has issues breaking the 330rwkws boundary, even so the SS3 has slight larger internals then the G3.

The G2/3/4 is available in universal form externally gated for $1000 , the SS2/3 can do for $1200. T3 .82 FNT rear, 5 bolt pattern externally gated.

G3/SS3/G4 all comes in .70 comp.

G2/SS2 comes in .60 comp.

The goal of SS3 is up to 350rwkws on 98 fuel with 20psi pre 4000RPMs. Its another step closer with probably another 10 miles to go. There are so much work and trailing getting just that 200RPMs of response through comp wheel fabrications. I'm trying to reach my goal by altering the turbocharger alone on a fair stock setup which is looking bit impossible at this stage, how ever I will list mods I've done as this project progresses.

What error codes?

Hey guys,

Finally got round to reading the error codes on my ECU; I'm posting them up on the NIStune forums but thought I might post them here as well in case anyone might know how to resolve them. So there's 4 codes that came up this time, I believe these are the ones that caused Sean a few problems:

[26] DTC BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR (Starts=5)

[33] DTC HEATED O2 SENSOR LHS (Starts=0)

[44] DTC ABC TCS COMM CIRCUIT (Starts=0)

[46] DTC THROTTLE MOTOR SENSOR (Starts=0)

Are those components fitted on to your car? The stock boost sensor? The O2 sensor? nfi what the others are. Maybe DTC means detect and its unable to detect those components? An easy way around is to find the resistance of said components and then get a resistor in there to fool the ECU into thinking those components are installed. Kind of like how people smash their cars and blow their air bags the fit a resistor in place to get rid of the air bag warning then sell it off as a normal car.

Could work, I'll query it to the NIStune guys...

I'm not sure if the stock boost sensor is still there, I never had the stock boost gauge installed on my car so the sensor may have been ditched. There is a Hitachi MAP sensor at the back of the engine bay utilizing the stock sensors location, but I'm not sure if that is the stock sensor or if that is my boost controllers sensor.

The O2 sensor is no longer there, it stopped working a long time ago and I tuned around it so when I got my wideband I decided to just plug up the stock bung and ditch it all together.

I'm assuming the other two codes are to do with the traction control which is no longer there. Again I'm not sure which components were removed or if they are still there and just not connected.

I just talked to my mate Brad, he had pretty much all the same codes. He is going to come on soon and tell you how to fix everything :)

Legend! Thanks mate thumbsup.gif

Hanaldo.

List what mods are doento this.

I take that the car was N/A to start with.

Does it have a turbo loom and ecu.

Let me know whats it has exactly and we can try and work it out.

Hypergear what happened to your electric charger? I'm curious if it made much power at all.

My idle is about 17:1 as well, and yeah it does pop quite a lot, but it still runs smooth, doesn't get hot or anything.

I thought I posted something a couple posts above regarding the electric turbo but looks like it didn't get through. Keen to see what happened with it or if the idea fell through.

Is the lean popping with such a lean idle a bad thing or does it not really have any negative effects on the car? If there is no real risk of damaging anything, I will lean out the idle. Shits me seeing it on 13's, sometimes even in 12's

So long as it isn't getting hot and you can deal with the bastard annoying pop that it Will be fine

Try to adjust afrs until the engine is pulling the most vacuum at idle

Means the engine is happiest

Same goes with timing

Just make sure both hot and cold start are still ok though

No real issue at all. It isn't like you use much fuel at idle anyway though.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
