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

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
