Hi There Guilt toy. Thank you for the option. At the moment the MAF's are as far away from the turbo in the engine bay as possible. But that is not a great distance! If I can find somewhere to mount two MAF's and filters sensibly outside the engine bay I might go for that as it would also help keep inlet temps down! Not convinced I have space though? Also I don;t want the filters where they are likely to get covered in crap from the road or brake dust etc.. So that kind of rules out most places! And if they cannot be in direct airflow which I can see why.. limited even more! Can you post a pic of where yours is mounted? And are you on twin MAF's or a single?

Thank you

Lee

its been a white mate. no pics.

Normally a skyline has plastic covers down there, what i did was got some black tape and sealer up the area a bit more. no dirt or shit got in from the road but air flow came from the front of the bar.

You might want to run a Z32 afm, there are ways to convert to a single AFM setup.

I am pretty sure that moving the AFM further away will help if not solve the issue completly. my AFM was very far from the turbo and it solved ALL the issues i had and they were much worse then yours that you are describing.

good luck

Thanks for the reply again.. Surely a single Z32 is not good for that power?? From an earlier reply you simply splice the two MAF wires together to convert to single set-up? A little tempting but I am just concerned about physically flowing enough air?

I have after-market front wings and the crap shields didn't fit! I am sure I could fix something up if needed though.

Just another thought.. Which I have started a new thread on.. but would (I guess) raising the fuel cut value in the rpm screen help sort the problem at all?

From what I can tell monitoring the hand commander. When you lift of the fuel is cut? so injector duty is 0%. Then when it falls far enough.. presumably to the F/C value the fuel then starts injecting again to catch and control the idle?

If that is right.. If I was to increase the fuel cut rpm would that help the stalling issue at all? Would it have any other negative effects?

Thank you

Lee

Hi Jono,

Saw your rey on my other thread.. Thank you. The fuel cut at the mo is set at 1200rpm and 1300rpm. Would raising this help my MAF related tendency to stall do you think??

Slight aside..

I need my cold running setup.. When the car is cold does it run on the same map load cells and just use watertemp compensation to control it? Mine idles pretty fine but if you touch the gas a bit to hard it really struggles.. Hard to say if it's lean or rich.. I would guess lean? Once it's warmed up it's perfect.

Thanks

Lee

Would still be great if someone could give me some of the first few and last few numbers in the MAF table for a pair of Q45 MAF's on an RB26 ECU. I went through and altered all my current chart by the corresponding % for each voltage band.. I assume I did it right?? I just multiplied each table value by the relevant %?

Just to confirm I did this and checked the graph mode and the graph looks nice and smooth just like it was before I changed the values!?

I have one more shot at the dyno next weekend and really want to get the car as smooth as I can this time. Really appreciate any pointers please.

Thank you

Lee

Come on guy's. I only have a few day until I am at the dyno and I want to get my MAF table setup as best as I can. I cannot afford to go back to the dyno again!

Only after a few key values along the way so I can try and fill in the blank between!

Thanks in advance.

Lee

Thanks for all the tips guy's had a second go at the dyno this weekend.. I recalculated my MAF table and found that my previous calculation I had used an inverse multiplication by accident.. it didn't solve the stall issue on it's own but my tuner watched the map while I did some typical driving on the dyno and he found the cells that it drops into as it stalls.. He then kept leaning them out until it didn't stall any more. Sorted! Cells are not used any other time so that should not be an issue!

Cheers

Lee

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
