Hmm okay, i was led to believe (by mechanic) that its now running rich due to pump, he even offered to swap it back for stock one... maybe he wanted more work.

So why is my car running rich now with hi flow turbo, when it used to run slighly lean on stock fuel pump and stock turbo...?

The hiflow turbo will be using a completely different part of the tune. Without seeing which cells it is using and analysing that I am not sure what else can be done?

The only time you will see things become richer is if the pump you are taking out is dying and unable to meet demands.

Okay, thanks.

maybe your old fuel pump was rooted causing it to lean out. now with a decent pump it will be running richer

if you want better times, get an FMIC and some good tyres asap.

EDIT: beaten to it. but as said, if you're dead set on your current ECU, then sort out the other issues

Yep, ill do that for now.

I dont want to get nistune now, because the turbo is capable of 260kw so i wanna upgrade injectors and z32 together with nistune. Im not financially ready for that now. But good to know.

What boost are you running on the hiflow? Have you tried dropping it down to a comparable amount of air to the stock turbo you were running before. Then you can prove that its the tune or something else.

i ran 12psi, 14 and 17, all safe afr's.

Ye, for now ill stick with it and get cooler and better tyres.

After, i might upgrade the lot, ecu, injectors and z32.

So how bad is it to run around about 11 on AFR's? Obviously not ideal, just trying to understand...

you dont need to have heaps of power to get a good run in, i ran a 13.9 in my R33 and it only has:

3" catback, pod, 9psi, walbro FP, stock ecu, side mount, stock dump

i was pretty happy seening i was running shitty old tyres :P

please post 60' and mph for an accurate comparison.

Hi i have a simliar setup to you,

stock BOV

stock ECU

stock turbo

HKS EBC set to 12 psi

pod

trust m-spec fmic

splitfires

3.5in exhaust w/ screamer

highflow 3in xforce cat

walbro 255/L (500hp) intank fuel pump

denso spark plugs

on a dyno dynamics dyno it's done a 194kw or 261hp

ive yet to take it to the drags, but i wont expect too much, especially with my skinny little 225's on.

runs really rich, saving up for a vipec or powerfc atm..

i think he's starting to come around... he agreed with me at least on the point of setting up the car better. and he's intending to go nistune at some point, so being a bit ignorant of the limitations of his mine's ECU isn't so important in the long run

I had a similar set up like you 8 years ago,

Small Supra front mount, stock bov, stock turbo, jap exhaust, boost to 12psi and i ran 13.6 at Calder on a slightly wet track with sumitomo 225/45/16 but that's because my 60ft time was 1.999 something.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
