Hey All,

I've got an R33 RB25DE+T (Stock RB25DET ECU and Injectors), with an AFC Neo piggy back and a wideband O2 Air/Fuel ratio + RPM datalogger (innovate).

I've had the car on the dyno before so i knew the fuel mixtures were way out, on my first run everything was spot on, the AFR's at RPM points match the dyno plot perfectly.

At light throttle with my cars lambda sensor disconnected the car ran at 10:1 AFR, which was fine - I was able to lean this to the 12's no issues whatsoever (took -20% on the AFC), this was my practice and everything was fine. So now I started to work on my massive lean spot at WOT (car lean spikes to 16:1 at 3000rpm), kept adding fuel up to +50% but it didn’t make any difference... Moving on from this I tried to adjust my rich spot up top (10:1 AFR from 5000 to 7000rpm) no matter how much fuel i pulled out of it, it just didn’t make any difference to fuel mixtures or the pull of the car. The AFC shows the correction (in the monitor mode), but it just doesn’t do anything... It's like the ecu is RPM mapped at those points... The more i lowered the boost (its at 10psi), the better the lean spike looked (~ 8psi brought it to 14:1).

Any ideas? The AFM in and out are both set to 1 is this correct? All wiring is perfect.

Cheers for any info, don’t tell me to take it to a tuner.

I think I've found the issue (though not sure if it would cause my symptoms...?); I installed this based off this guide:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sa...3-G-t85232.html

Where is says set AFM IN and AFM OUT both to 1

But reading here: (Page 24)

http://www.scribd.com/doc/19576441/Apexi-I...-Wiring-Diagram

It says set both to 4.

I'm not sure if the AFC is different, or if it is wrong, or even if it will make any difference - I'll have to wait until I get home tonight.

Please still post if you have any other insights...

Have you made sure you've set your throttle position as you have to calibrate it for your car? As it sounds like the % for the hi map is screwed up. Should be around 35% that it switches

But yes iir it should be set at 4 both in and out.

Yeah that’s set right, low throttle comes in at 0% and high throttle is at 40%.

I've tried moving the threshold higher to run of low throttle maps, but it doesn’t make a difference. Regardless it runs increasingly rich until around 45% throttle, then it leans right out.

Setting it to 4 & 4 didn’t make a difference. I randomly set one to 1 and one to 4 to test it and the car spluttered like expected, so it is working...

Here's a picture of my wideband log, RPM vs AFR, you can see the lean spot which i am trying to iron out....

I really hope not, can’t really fork out for full management. Everything is fine I just need to correct these fuel mixtures.

There must be a reason for this issue... Its not like I can’t adjust it any further, its simply just not making any difference to mixtures (even if I +50% it).

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
