Hi Everyone

I've got a bit of an issue. I have to increase my injector correction too much in order to get my car to run properly. Here are the details:

Nismo 555cc injectors

Bosch 044 completely rewired to the battery

Fuel Rail Checked

PowerFC Settings:

stock 370cc / nismo 555cc = 0.666666667 x 100 = 66%

nismo 0.71ms - stock 0.52msec = 0.19msec

The correct settings are 66.6% and 0.19ms lag adjust

66% and 0.18ms Lag time adjust = Car won't start

66% and 0.18ms Lag time adjust AND massive injector increase in idle load cells = Car starts and runs, heaps lean everywhere else.

72% and 0.18 ms Lag time adjust = Car starts and runs, and map is consistantly good for fuel

66% and 0.45 ms lag time adjust = Car starts and runs, and map is consistantly good for fuel

Ok here are the catches.

1. Same problem with Nismo injectors, and Factory injectors. So its not the injectors.

2. Changed out the fuel pump twice. Same problem.

3. Changed the FPR, same problem.

4. FPR is getting good vacuum signal.

5. No Boost leaks.

6. Same problem on RB25DET stock, and RB25\30 with cams.

7. DaleFZ1 had the EXACT same setup (Injectors, Fuel pump, AFM, ECU, etc, and set to 66% and 0.18ms lag adjust and he had no problems.

Here are most likely the only things that could be wrong now:

1. Injector Voltage. Multimeter says they are 12.3 \ 12.4 volts

2. AFM?? Could this have an effect? And why?

3. Kink in the fuel line? I'm hesitant on this one because the problem can be replicated at idle. A Kink would only effect mid to high load? Plus, with the doctored injector settings, the car runs ok with plenty of fuel up top.

This is really a pain in the bum. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

This is not really a solution.. just a similar comparison.. when i had nismo 740ccs in my car.. even tho they were twice as big as standard.. 370/740 = 50%.. i had to set them to 55% to get my tune similar to the stock injectors and fine tuned it from there.. i never really got the idle perfect it would be rich oneday lean the next.. either a air leak or you may have to relearn the idle.. i was just too lazy.. it runned fine. ill check the injector times for you in an hour

I think your doing it wrong, the calcs your doing are if your going backwards, to the 370's.

I think the lag time for the nismo 555's is around .7 to .8 of a sec.

*edit*.

Seems as if im way off base and your not after the actual lag/void time.

Too used to nistune

thanks for the responses.

I've tried to idle learn a number of times, but it didn't make a difference, because just remember that the rest of the map is super lean on the "correct" settings.

Im a bit confused to your reference to the "correct settings", as i thought the % was just a trim to the overall base injector duty cycle.. whats wrong with increasing the %?.. when i was running 27psi i had to turn the % up a bit more than the 55%, i always thought that correction was just to get your tune in the ball park of your old injectors so it can be driven to a shop and tuned?? Im probably wrong tho :)

66.5% and .18 are the correct settings for nismo 555s

check fuel pressure. i know you changed the reg but i had the same problem, tried 3 different regs which worked fine before i put them in my car, later discovered they were all dead after seeing my car. cracked the shits and bought a tomei reg and it fixed everything

tunes dont just fall away. either its a injector problem, or its a faulty ecu. (that is if it was fine and now it isnt..)

from the sounds of it you may need to do some swapsies with some friends who have the same afm...

I am looking into this too. I need to find myself a fuel pressure guage. It will be a quick one because as I said earlier, the problem is right on idle. And is always there.

Injectors are perfect. I've put factory ones in and they have the same behaviour.

Are you trying to run your previous rb25 fuel map with the rb30 and just adgust the scaling? That should work if the afm is the same, however the rb30's do seem to need more fuel? Is o2 feedback off, maybe the initial start has killed the sensor? Definately get a fuel pressure gauge on it to be sure. At the end of the day if the car runs consistently well with the settings you have put in it i wouldnt be overly concerned. Do you have a wideband you can leave on it for monitoring?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
