posting for a mate,

after having FMIC, BOV, filter, and GTR fuel pump installed by Fussy's, the car is running like absolute crap.

its making NO power! Boost comes on real quick (11psi) but you feel NO pull, and it breaks down and pops out the exhaust etc etc, and just wont rev cleanly.

Ive considered things like coil packs etc and have done the usual check for leaks, cracked hoses etc etc and found everything looking fine.

just wondering who can recommend a good place in sydney to take it to for prob solving and a good dyno tune. Ive rang UAS but they are fully booked out, and Croydon's tuner is currently away.

or, if anyone thinks they know the prob or any tests i can do, please let me know.

(fussy's also did a service with oil and plugs but i dont think they did much by way of tuning as they have no dyno)

Also, The GTR32 Fuel pump installed is louder than my bosch 044 pump!! is this normal?

thanks for any help!

i dont have anything to check the A:F, could be the prob.

def not the BOV leaking as i checked it (could see the valve closed as its a megasonic Tsmart and its wound in tight, and even put the stockie BOV back on.

why does a bigger pump make it richer? i understand it flows more fuel, but isnt pressure what its all about? it has std press reg.

When i took off my microtech making 200rwkw and put the std ecu back in to make 170'srwkw, still running the o44, it still ran as normal, no richer....?

any ideas on whos good to take it to?

Just a few things you can check.

What type of filter has been installed and how much oil is on it?

Pull it off and check to see the AFM hasn't been coated in oil.

Then i would look at the fuel pump because it's very likely that it's running rich.

I have a 32gtst with pod, ic, exhaust and boost controller running up to 16psi on the stock fuel pump. Got an AF meter just incase but it sits in the full rich zone all the time when boosting so it isn't underfuelled (and this is the stock fuel system with no mods).

I'd also check your plugs and see if they are really black (and i mean REALLY black, slightly blackened is good), which will indicate very rich running.

Also when checking the plugs make sure they have the correct gap and that the temp range of the plug is suited to ur engine.

How could the GTR pump affect anything?

Isnt the Fuel Reg there to control that?

I thought having a bigger pump does not mean more fuel is pumped into the motor.

But it could be a buggered fuel reg, and the car is over fueling.

hmm.. to me though - wouldn't it be that if you have a slightly faulty pump, the fuel pressure isn't constant and thats the whole problem.. therefore while tuning on the old pump you'd try and dump more fuel in there to compensate at certain points (even if it was just appearing to fix the leaning out).. Then once a new pump is in, and everything is back to normal, you're still running the ratios for the old pump, which were actually overcompensating??? As a result its richer than it now needs to be?

The stock computer will compensate slightly for a lazy pump when running around with a fairly stock car, it's when you start to max out the injector duty cycle that you start to see problems with the stock pump not maintaining fuel pressure and leaning out.

The problem with running a bigger pump is that the stock regulator/injector combination can't flow enough to maintain stock fuel pressure at idle and light throttle with the higher flow of the new pump.

Have you reset the computer? Just disconnect the battery and hold down the brake pedal for a few minutes with the igtition switched to on. Then reconnect and the computer will revert to it's base program and readjust to the new conditions. Simple, but I know it's fixed a few other peoples problems.

    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too  
    • hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy
