Hi all,

Just returned car to stock after getting defected. (well everything except the exhaust)

Removed the FMIC and put the SMIC on

Removed the pod filter and put the stock airbox in

Removed the PowerFC and put the stock ECU in

Removed the Z32 and put the stock AFM in

No longer have BoV, just the stock one.

I start the car and it seems to idle funny and is blowing black smoke, does anyone know what could of caused my car to suddenly start blowing black smoke on idle?

I am at a loss.

Matt

a. did you rewire the plug properly when changing back to standard afm?

b. did the wires on the afm touch while doing the rewire? as a short circuit between them can blow a main engine control fuse which makes it run like shit

c. do you have standard injectors? because aftermarket injectors on the standrd ecu will also cause this

d. did you check the hoses, joiners etc for cracks and tighten all hoseclamps properly as vacumn leak can also cause this

a. the plug for the standard AFM was never removed, the plug + wiring was spliced off the original one (if that makes sense, it was done by an auto electritian) however there was a 4th wire added, which is an earth, which i currently have earthed? should i just unearth it and put tape or something over it and see if it works?

b. see above.

c. i am pretty sure i have standard injectors, i've only had the ecu + afm in the car for 2 weeks, injectors have not been touched during this time

d. all the hoses are tight and the clamps are also done up tight.

Do you think i should check my fuse box and see if i have had a short?

running rich, i guess leave it until you get it off defect and put everything you had back on it.

It is a factory stock standard ECU, how would i reset it?

easy to reset the ecu. pull the negative terminal from your battery over night (couple of hours should be fine)

then start up your car wen you have wired it up in the morning and let it idle for 10mins. dont press accelerator at all.

Hey guys,

I went to try your suggestion this morning however it now the car will not start.

I hear the starter motor winding, and the car is trying to get ignition, it kind of half gets the ignition but then dies and just keeps winding. I suspected maybe my engine was flooded so i pulled out the sparkplugs and sure enough they were completely black and covered in carbon, i cleaned them off.

I have been doing some reading in other threads etc, if my engine is indeed flooded, i'm sure by now it would of been with all that trying to start it. Should i put everything back together, re-seat all of my intercooler piping (making sure the insides are all clean before i do so) then try and start it with a WOT? From what i have read this will burn up all excess fuel in the engine.

Then let the car idle for 10mins (battery has been disconnected for like 8 hours or so).

Am i missing anything from this plan of attack?

I do greatly appreciate all your help.

PS: I think i found the original problem though, it was one of the seals connected directly to the SMIC, it didn't appear to be fastened properly :)

did the seal fix your problem? to me i dont think it would, it wont cause overfueling, it will just give you a boost leak

Hey, Just posting an update, took the sparks out, cleaned them and put them back in, cleaned all the seals and piping for the smic, however i think i have my vacuum hoses in the wrong spot, the one i have marked with yellow on the pictures below looks wrong.

If anyone knows what hoses i shhould change based on the pics below it would be greatly appreciated.

Once someone can tell me where the mistake is, ill fix it and try starting the car.

Cheers for all the help so far guys!

nah look shalf wrong

for a start the line to the bov shouldnt have a t in it . not that there is anything wrong with it but its not like that fornt the factory. and also the nipple your red line is plummed to should be connected to the factory bost sensor on the fire wall ill try find a pic .

Sweet, what about the thing the line i have marked in yellow, what are the things it connects to on both ends called?

- The thing down next to the Left Headlight

- The other end, and what is supposed to go into the other end? It is just connected to a tube with no further connection at the moment.

With regards to the Tee's i dont know why they are there, i guess they were used by a previous owner for an aftermarket boost gauge or something, they have been there this whole time and the car ran like a dream, until the defect and i pulled it all apart lol

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
