Isn't an AFR of 13 more rich than an AFR of 12. I thought it was the lower you go the leaner it gets and there for the graph looks about right, starting at 13 and getting richer.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

you are wrong

Air/Fuel ratio; You always refer to the air mixed with 1 part fuel in the ratio and if you have 14 parts air (i.e. 14:1) then you will have more air than if you have 12:1. Lean means that you have less fuel and rich mean that you have more fuel.

It depends on the engine but generally 12:1 is what is looked for under load 12.5 is starting to get dangerous. Under light load (closed loop)the ECU aims for 14.7:1 as this is the correct amount of air to balance the Fuel oxidation reaction (If you have done chemistry you will know what this means).

As the AF Ratio gets leaner the cylinder temps begin to rise, if they get too lean then that is where you start getting detonation problems or you start melting pistons or damaging turbine parts.

What the extra fuel does is lower the combustion temps by producing a cooler burn and the extra fuel also removes some of the heat from the cylinder.

i replaced the fuel filter yesterday and started it up and it ran a hell of alot smoother but still going to replace the injectors aswell before i put it on the dyno to check the AFR's if anybody has any gtr injectors let me know.(might aswell replace them with something a little better than stock if im doing it anyway)

you can't just fit GTR injectors and expect it to run, you will need to wire in the dropping resistor from a GTR as well and it will need to be tuned, and when i say tuned a proper tune (changing the fuel maps) not just whacking it on the dyno and playing with the CAS. Expect to pay $450-$600 for a proper tune. So with injectors and resistor your looking at around $900.

yeah i realise i have to wire in the resistor thats not a problem and i was planning on getting it chipped when i take it in for a tune and a dyno check.

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
