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?

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
