Worst Dyno Results Ever ?

Yo yo.

R34 GTsT. 3" turbo back exh- Walbro 500 hp pump- JustJap Turnflow FMIC- Mushroom filter in box- Standard ECU, Injectors and AFM- Greddy profec B- Greddy RS BOV plumbed back into intake.

I've been having some real headaches with how my car puts down the power. In a nutshell, anything over 7psi (my Hi boost is set to 9,5) turns my car into a pig rich fuel guzzling, retardation machine. At first I thought it was R&R, and changed my plugs, AFM, and got hold of another standard ECU. Coilpacks are fine, and no boost leaks as boost comes on consistent and strong.

So I took it to Pulse Racing to see how it looked on the dyno. Check out the pics attached. Their Dyno reads at it's lowest A/F point of 10:1. My cars AFR flatlines at 10:1 or possibly lower right from the beggining of the run. Check out the crazy power dips to and a max of 126 rwkw.

I need some help in getting some ideas what the problem could be. Replacement standard ECU made no difference, and simply "chucking in" an aftermarket item isn't going to fix the problem either...

Tuner recons it's not the 02 sensor, coils, plugs, boost control, but pretty much tried to "sell" me the idea of an aftermarket ECU, which really, is a bandaid fix to the actual issue. I want to diagnose the cause of the issue. Any help is appreciated

Cheers

First thing I saw was Walbro fuel pump, did you use the stock wiring (6v / 12v depending on load) or did you give it alternator voltage like A/M pumps such as Walbros need?

i hardly think theres any problems with lack of fuel flow looking at the graph....

Are you sure the injectors are stock? Something doesn't add up... Checked fuel pressure?

He suggested an aftermarket ecu because he cant adjust anything without it.

To Moodles2, It was happening prior to the Walbro pump install, and if anything, it's getting too much fuel rather than not enough. the Pump was installed by Autosport engineering, who I dare say know what their doin. It wasn't a backyard job.

To Scotty, I haven't checked if the Injectors are standard. I would assume so as but will check that out for sure.

My thoughts are it's not necessarily the ECU at fault here. yes i kno that their is a safe map for knock etc with the Nissan standard unit, but there is no way that the map is "lets drop AFR to 10:1 through the entire rev range"

Get an ecutalk or other consult reader and get some idea of what is going on - injector duty, afm readings (can you swap out the afm with someone?) And get a Nistune chip so that you can actually try to tune it. It will also help to identify problems.

How has no one mentioned the fact he thinks he owns a R34 GTST? :D

Haha yeh i noticed that.

So is that run on stock boost?

Did u try running a higher boost setting. Like 12 ?

Check coolant temp sensor too. Its like its on cold start enrichment

check the boost sensor is hooked up, and secondly that the boost source for the BOV is connected. If either are missing it will do that... as will a split hose (cooler)

Second dip is normal as the std ecu has a big timing drop in i, run std boost and dip goes away... or a quick remap removes it straight away.

yes

ECR33 has excess airflow protection

ER34 has excess airflow protection

ER34 also has excess boost protection via the 2nd map sensor that runs to the ECU

its likely you are just tripping that out, youll need a remap, a map sensor cut device, run it no where and crimp the vac line or get a stand alone

Lo boost on Greddy - gain 28% set gain 13% Start gain .46 gives me about 7.3 peak boost

Hi boost on Greddy - gain 38% set gain 18% start gain .55 gives me about 9.3 peak boost

Running "lo" boost is fine

Running "hi" = what you see on the dyno charts

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
