Hey guys, Im from the US. I have an S13 with an RB20det installed.

Heres what Im workin with...

Rb20det

Precision SC61 turbo

Z32 MAF

750cc RC injectors

Nismo bypass to Aeromotive FPR

Walbro 255

ROM tune with Ostrich and Carl H's assistance

Consult

Innovative wideband

Here's my prob.....

I run VERY rich at idle and at cruising speeds. Under load and boost the motor performs great.

I run so rich, my WBO2 reads "9.8".

Everything Ive checked, checks out fine. When I hook up the consult, everything "seems" too be running and checking out to spec.

MAF .50 key "on"

TPS .44

????O2.......which is reading .95 lambda = 14.0 AFR???

ECT within spec

Fuel Pump within spec

Timing 15*

Ive checked voltage and ohms on everything I can think of and its all fine and Ive changed the plugs 4 times now.

On Carl H's end, everything checks out to what its suppose to be with the ECU, according to him.

I'm at a loss guys, does anyone have any ideas on what else too check that would be causing these probs?

The weirdest thing I see the stock O2 sensors readings. Its not reading what the WBO2 is..not even close.

the stock o2 sensor isn't a wideband sensor. it is only designed to read between 14 and 15:1 and send the ecu a signal of either lean or rich. anything leaner than 15:1 it says rich, anything richer than 14:1 is says rich and in between is stoich. they ecu doesn't actually monitor the exact AFR.

it may possibly be that the stock o2 sensor is dead and that is why you are getting shocking economy, or the closed loop tune may be innacurate, or not even activating, however then it should just run on the same map as wide open throttle. i would be leaning more towards the tune than the o2 sensor.

I agree, today I did some test and came too the conclusion that the O2 sensor is fine.

I did find some, what seems too me, odd findings during my search today.

Let me ask in the form of a question lol

If I would check for continuity between the 2 pins of an injectors pigtail, should I get continuity?

I also put one side of the ohm meter in one side of the injector pigtail and check down at the ECU and I had continuity from the #6 pigtail to all the injector signal wires at the ECU.

I then put the one side of the ohm meter on the other pin of the same pigtail and did the same test and got continuity on all the same wires.

......does this sound right?

    • 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
