Have written a few threads about this recently & Im sure some of you are sick of them but I need to try & find an answer... Had no car for months!

My RB25 is badly overfuelling on idle & all through rev-range. Injector pulse at idle is 7ms! Have no vacuum/IC leaks, have tried other AFMs & temp sensors, all with no luck... 1 interesting thing is I was told to unplug AFM & see what happened... While unplugged, the idle stopped hunting & exhaust stopped smoking, however you could smell it was still a bit rich. When I plugged AFM back in & went to rev engine, it was still in limp mode. I turned car off & on, same thing... Eventually with AFM plugged in I wiggled the wires & it came out of limp mode. It seems even moving where the AFM wiring meets the main loom has some effect on idle, (in & out of limp mode) but still nothing perfect. Does this give anyone any ideas? (bad earth from ECU to AFM, etc...) Really going crazy!

Any help appreciated

I had a bad afm, the solder on the connections inside the afm from the plug had broken, another problem could be that you have a short in the plug its self, try another afm and see if it makes a difference.

How do you know the injector pulse time at idle?

Check that you have supply voltage (12V), continiuty of the signal line to the ECU, and check the ground(s).

Had short use of a scantool to check live data...

So supply voltage to ECU. Signal line from AFM to ECU? & does anyone know which pins in ECU are earths? Have a pin-out but unsure of accuracy...

Checked all this today, came back fine... Every test I do comes back fine although there is obviously something wrong...

Any chance ECU could be at fault? Or anyone have any other ideas?

Thats what Im starting to consider... Possibly a fault in the ECU itself. If it is thats fine, ill go get a Z32 ECU tuned to suit by Dr Drift or similar but if its not I dont have a clue what to try next

If you in the frankston area i have an ecu here you can try to see if it is the ecu.

Thanks heaps mate but series 2 engine so possibly some difference in ECU... Seriously appreciated though

I believe S1 and S2 are the same, you can use the same model power fc on both, i believe the differences are outside the ecu, like the coils, S1 have an igniter for all 6 coils but S2 have an igniter on each coil, the ignition from the ecu is the same on both though, maybe do some searching and see what you can find, iys here if you need it.

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
