Basic setup of the car Rb25Det Deatchwerks 740cc Injectors Rb20 ECU running nistune and a VCT controller.

Installed the injectors, all looks good nothing leaking. Run the Injector change function on nistune and the Injector multiplier is nearly halfed. Stupid thing starts to barly idle at a very lean 19AFR. Im adding nearly an extra 60% to the Multiplier to get it to idle at 14.9AFR the idle is just shit sounds liek a wrx on 3 cylinders.

Up the multiplier some more and AFR head towards 12.5 and the idle is alot nicer.

Now if the idle is set to what it should be the rest of the map becomes extremely rich, so rich in fact that the car splutters and stops moving.

So now i have 0'ed out the fuel map in the cruise section and cruising along adjust the multiplier to sround what it was when the injector change function was run.

Car seams to drive alot better comming on to boost it is still very rich but drivable(In the 11-12AFR range), no spluttering at all felt more like before the injector change.

Now to get it to idle thoses fuel cells are now adjusted to theroetical 10AFR

The way the nissan ecu's work theoretical AFR sound be pretty close to actual AFR expecially in the light cruize/idle range.

Any ideas? Deatchwerks sell them as drop in replacements from what i can see of the injector report lag tims are correct.

Is thi normal for larger injectors? Any one else with Deatchwerks experiance?

Ahh - the difference between theory and practise.

1. Your using quite a large injector how much power are you after?

2. Those injectors are quite poor in terms of spray pattern and low end drivability.

3. The test benches that injector manufactures use don't always match the how the factory ecu's drive injectors so the provided latencies aren't always that good of a guide.

The problem you are experiencing is non-linearity of the injector from driving a too smaller pulse width. You can correct it by increasing your latency time or to increase your ttp min. I would put in your calculated k value and try increasing your latency first, failing that increase your ttp min.

you have to adjust the latency corrections, if the 740s are anything like the 1000s i got from Deatchwerks the latency is massively different to stock. you should have got a flow report with the injectors with latency figures on it

Here is the report from Deatchwerks

post-28286-0-81601500-1309776814_thumb.jpg

Report says 756cc avg flow static and 645cc avg flow dynamic. Which figure do i use in my calculations?

And yes I can see 1.3ms Latency @ 14V I will give this a go tomorrow

The lean at idle symptoms you describe in your first post is typical of having the latency too low, whereas at WOT latency setting is not important. So - fixing the latency setting should help a lot!

use 756. cant remember exactly how nistune works the latency but for reference the standard 25 injectors are .63ms

Finally got around to trying this again. Set injector latency to 1300 resized injectors to 756 saved changes and started the car.

Car started and idled better than ever before(Even before the injector change)

Didn't have time to let it fully warm up and fine tune the multiplier but so far very happy with the hiflow injectors.

I was always told the hiflowed rb25 injectors were bad at cold start. These being Suburu hiflowed injectors seam absolutly fine.

Oh and to answer the previous question. Why did I buy such large injectors.

My power goal is 400hp for now but I do plan on building a 3L and run E85 so only buying injectors the one time

  • 1 month later...

Still having issues with these injectors haven't driven my car since installing them.

Here is an email I got from Deatschwerks regarding the problem.

Jason,

If the OE latency is displayed as 530us for the OE RB25 ECU, then think using 1300us for our injectors would be way off. The RB25 uses a OE side feed injector with almost the same coil properties as our 740’s. I would suggest trying something in the 700 rang and see if that helps then adjust from there. Our injector would not have anywhere close to more than twice the latency time as the OE injector

Thanks

-Mike

Now as you can see from the flow report I posted @14v(My car runs 13.9-14v at idle) the latency is 1.3MS or 1300us for Nistuns sake.

From what Mike at Deatschwerks is saying this is incorrect??? Does this mean the latency data provided is for both opening and closing time?

Ho can I accurately measure latency time my self?

Your spending too much time on latency and concentrating on theory (very often the case text book tuning is useless in real world applications), best bet is to concentrate on your idle and cruise with latency within 10% of the factory setting as they are high flowed. Use your K value.

Once cruise and idle is set to a reasonable setting then retune the rest of the map,it is not uncommon to rewrite the whole map so it resembles nothing like your old one.

Maniplutaion of the MAF curve is generally a given too. The maps Tao has posted the last few pages of his highflow thread have around 1.5 to 2hours spent on the MAF curve alone... so much detail in there athat changing turbos generally only requires a run or 2 on the dyno to touch up each time.

So what problems is it now having.

Still the same issue idle is only perfect when running really rich.

Status, that is some really good advise. I will get the latency and K value as good as I can get it then just start re tuning the rest of the map.

When you talk about tuning the MAF curve as you referring to adjusting the MAF table so real world AFR's resemble the theoretical AFR on the fuel map?

I guess that kinda like a 2D VE map isn't it?

If only the dyno my mate and me are building was complete would make this a lot easier.

One more question.

What is the stock latency figure for the rb25?

I have a nistuned rb20 ecu running my car and the latency in there is different to the latency of the stock rb25 ecu.

Maybe this value was forgotten when I had the base image built by Nistune? This could be the reason my car has always run really rich and had a bad idle?

Any way cheers for all the help again guys.

any conversion ecu required a full retune to get it working sweet, if you look in your rom pack under type 6 he rb25 bin files are all there..

Yes your reasoning on the maf map is correct, ive been spending more and more time in this map now that nistune changed the scale manipulation for me (on other ecus like pfc its where i spend most time), it used to be a tedious job as the values would only scale up and down in 10's... they have since changed it for me so it scales in 100's and it has been absolute bliss :P

Cant fault the Nistune guys as they are quick to react and help with any suggestions or upgrades.

The issue sounds like your operating the injector outside its linear zone. You may have to leave it on the rich side. I would do as I said above and not modify the maf curve.

Little update:

Planned to spend the day tuning my car. Ended up spending most of the time help my mate on his 3L and installing a Deatschwerks 300LPH fuel pump.

We had great sucess apart from my fuel gauge no longer working and i think the filter the fuel pump cam with dosn;t quite reach as far down as the stock setup, both can be fixed easily i guess.

Can you but a new stock fuel pump filter setup?

Started the car with the new pump and no tune adjustment.

Started really well but again very rich. After the car warmed up a little and closed loop took over the fueling the car idle fu*king beautiful and sat with a 14.8 - 14.9 AFR.

Starting the car I can see its still got way too much fuel in it but thats expected as I still need to adjust to injector settings.

So i'm thinking all these rough idle and missing issues for the last 2 years have been a stuffed fuel pump the whole time. Changing the injectors over just made the symptoms a lot worse.

The Deatschwerks pump was a tad over $200 including a nissan filling kit, purchased from Kudos motorsports web site. It is very quiet compaired to the noisy as hell r32GTR pump that was just removed.

Now I can start seeing what the real quality of these injectors are fuel pump are.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
