i have an r32 skyline its a four door factory auto that has been converted to manual and had a reco engine put in it (not original motor)

my mods are

fuel reg

pump (walbro)

gtr fmic

pod

supersparks

they are the important ones anyways

my problem is the engine is detonating and the car smells really fuelly more than an averge rb20de i have replaced the fuel line going to the filter aswell as the one after filter going towards the front of the engine the others look preety good and i have changed the fuel filter and its still happenig i have cleaned and check the gap on the plugs and all seems fine im thinking it is a leakin injector or something is there any way of testing them with out take them out and without using a noid light... also does any one have a pic on how the standard CAS sits mine is pulled hard right (as in the elongated holes that allow timing adjustment are not centered and the bolts are on the far left of the hole and it doesnt seem right) and i think i may have to much timing going in because the bolts dont line up with the marks on the CAS so its suspect

Thanks for any help

Cheers Bejay

yeah i will check the timing tommoro and why do i have to put the stock reg you think its dodgy? also i dont have a consult but i can bridge the pins to check for error codes ...

do you think it is safe to drive its my daily i need it for work

just looked at ecu to make sure it is a standard one...

its not its a nasty tomie stage one

which has timing and ignition maps all tinkerd with

no fuel or speed cut

no boost cut

and also tuned

for boost up aswell

as exauhst

cooler pump etc

i had a mines in my last 32 and had nothing but issuse with it i think this may something to do with it cause ther cheaply made and the agressiveness of the fuel and ignition maps also my car is on stock boost also so dont no if that helps

yuck, those jap remaps are pretty terrible, 10:1 fuel ratios and shitloads of timing, not good with our fuel or climate, had a car with a mines ECU that wouldn't rev over 5.5k due to rich misfire as it was running below 9:1 fuel.

Definitely get it to a tuner and on the dyno, i recommend a nistune for how cheap and easy to tune they are, also they look stock.

If it is actually detonating it sounds like a fuelling issue, stock ECU should pull back timing loads if you've increased the boost (exhaust + fmic will do this).

Can you confirm fuel rail pressure, pump making any funny noises? Really need to get it on the dyno as detonation can kill a motor pretty quick.

i am running 11psi due to exaust and frountmount with no controller and i bought the car just over a week ago with all mods fitted i have not changed anything since purchace just put fuel in and i dindt seem to do this the day i got it so ine been riped or unlucky as...

i think its a fueling issue aswell now because my ideal has become irratic and will not hold steady on idle the car drops from 800 down to 400 randomly and also on idle the engine seems to have an exauhst pop it sounds like it has a standalone ecu in it is so irratic which makes me think its fuel or timing doing so only thing i change was the fuel filter and i changed the the fuel pressure from 20psi at idle to 32 psi which did not make a difference...

do i have to completly disconnect the aftermarket reg(like take the fuel lines off and have it not hooked up at all) or can i just swap the vac line from the aftermarket back to standard...

also i noticed on the gague on the reg the fuel pressure will not stay at 32 psi as the idle pops and drops so does fuel whicmh makes me thinks its a fuelling issue and pump doesnt seem to make any differnce

base fuel pressure for the RB20 is 35-40psi. so at 32psi your just under that which may cause issues, but at 20psi it definitely will, no wonder it was pinging.

i know you didn't install and setup the aftermarket regulator but are you saying that you have both the stock reg and the aftermarket one attached to the fuel line? it should be one or the other, not both. can you post up a pic of your fuel reg setup? oh and to disconnect the aftermarket reg you have to pull the fuel lines off as well as the vac line.

yeah the stock reg was still attached but no vac line going to it

the after market reg is set up on the return line just after the reg on the rail above thermo stat housing if that makes sense will have a photo buy tonight

pull the aftermarket reg off, put the vac line on the stocker and see if it runs. if not the stocker is probably drilled out, if it does run and works then whoever set it up like that is slightly retarded, as no vac line on the stocker will mean higher than factory pressure whilst in vacuum.

put it all back to factory and see if it solves your problem

Shouldn't be changing ANYTHING to do with a fuel reg if you are running a stock ecu, any change will completely f**k up the tune.

Put it al back 100% to stock or get a full tune, there are no other options.

i have put the stocker ecu in and hooked up my stock reg and my pingin has gone

i will get the reg checked and make sure she works before i think about putting it back on thanks guys...

one last thing what boost will the stock reg put up with before it starts to fail???

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • 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.
