does anyone know anything about setting up injector lag, beyond just inputing the numbers from the manufacturer?

i've been mapping the car but having problems getting a good idle and mpg and the problem seems to be injector lag. i get the car setup ok, it drives ok, afr at idle 14.7 within a few points with no o2 sensor feedback. if i increase the lag a half point eg 0.18ms to 0.24ms my afr's go rich, remap the car and the car drives and idles better. i'm up to +0.28ms so far with the manufacturer saying it should be +0.19ms and the car is a lot better.

does anyone know what the professionals do to setup injector lag?

i'm thinking what's happening is the injector is being opened too late by the ecu because the setting is too low, thus spraying the back of the valve as it closes. this pool at the back of the valve doesn't burn on this ignition nor on the next, it's just wasted fuel (bad economy). the wideband doesn't pick this up because it cant sense unburnt fuel, spray the sensor with petrol and it doesn't read rich. so, the lag is made greater and the injector fires earlier, this time it gets more atomised fuel ito the chamber for the combustion and my afr's go up, readjust the injector duty and the whole thing is timed a lot better so the car runs better.

does this sound ok?

i'm wondering if this should be repeated until the lag adjustment causes it to go leaner rather than richer. seems logical to me.

any input would be greatfully accepted, unless it's lies

sorry for thre lack on info...

RB25DET - nismo 555cc injectors - power fc

current setting are 50% correction and +0.40ms latency!!! has never idled so well and runs around 15 AFR on light load and drops nicely as it moves lower on the map...

oh and on idle its slightly rich..around 14.2

i know what it should be..thats not hard to find...

i am thinking that maybe the nismo 555s are not 555cc?!?!?!? i have found reports of this is a few places around the world... dont really feel like pulling them all out to get tested but i might have too...

i think this is the begining of finding something with my car that has never been quite right...

have you tried it with those settings? if you bought nismo 555s theres no way they'd be flowing over 700cc (which would need the 50% correction)

the fact that you've had to add so much latency correction over the recommended settings means your size correction is too low. more positive latency correction adds more fuel, which makes up for your size correction being 16% too low

how does more injector latency change the amount of fuel they flow??? i thought latency changes the time the injectors fire in relation to the CAS signal and also spark timing???

if the injectors fire too late then there could be fuel atomising on the back of the valves as they close and waste fuel.

with the normal settings for the nismo 555s i can always smell fuel a little around the car..particularly on idle.

however with the new settings i smell less fuel...

latency is the time it takes for the injector to open and start squirting fuel. the higher the latency the more time the injector has to be pulsed with no fuel flowing (while its opening and closing). so therefore if your telling the ecu it takes ages to open and close it'll pulse for longer to inject the same amount of fuel

every time i have tuned a car the injector settings have been no where near where the internet people tell me it should be.

The sooner you start using your own head and start working it out yourself instead of worrying what people say on here the quicker you will get the problem solved and you will learn how to tune cars alot faster.

I like to keep the injectors as close to 100% as possible. I don't care what injector it is. after you do 10 or 20 of them you start to see a trend in what works and what does'nt

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
