I just got me a Nissan R33 GTR. I Have Kyle from 6boost building me a manifold that’s a twin scroll T3 one. I’m planning on using a power FC (L-jetro) the manifold will have twin 38mm Tial waste gates and the turbo of choose is The GTX 3582r.

What I was wondering is how I will run the 2 MAF sensors and the 2 O2 oxygen sensors. For the MAF sensor I got a HKS divider pipe. This pipe goes from two MAF sensors to one collector, kind of like a y style fitting just much bigger.

Now how do I run the 2 oxygen sensors? Do I just weld the 2 bungs on the down pipe??

Or is there a way just to use one o2 sensor?

Thanks mate

If you can tune well enough you shouldnt need them.

I dont run them and have gotten 600-700km to a tank

Sounds like you already have the MAF sorted.

Yes i have the MAF sorted out, i'm using 2 30POO z32 MAF's. But i was just wondering if i tune the car and like you say don't use the o2's, wouldn't this make the car burn more gas at low loads. with the o2 turned off the car will run off the maps all the time (open loop) It wouldn't be able to be efficient?? It's all in the tune i guess.

In my head what your saying make sense, but I just cant get my head around it. At closed loop the car self adjust the fuel according to the inputs from the O2 sensors, and at some piont of WOT it goes to open loop and runs of the maps right? So in short my low end tune has to be good too. I would have to tune the whole map and not just the high loads points, But from low to medium and high spots.

Over the last five years i have really learnt how to tune all on my own with the help of SAU. If what i have mentioned is on the right track then i feel as if i can do it with somee time.

R31Nismoid whats the turbo set up your using to get the horse power goals. I'm looking at around the same power. Kyle from 6 boost mentioned to me that i should use a t3 split pulse manifold with twin 38mm tial gates, for the best response and power. He mentioned that i will get 20+ pounds of boost around 4500 rpms. I think that these numbers are with a fully build motor. I plan on building the motor myself, And my goals are about the same as yours.

Is there another parts of going single turbo i should know about??

Thanks Mate

You're pretty much on the right track. With o2 feedback on, the ECU will target an AFR of 14.7. But you can get much better fuel economy by ditching them and setting up the cruise AFR's yourself. Mine are set to about 15.5:1 right now, could go a little bit leaner but I haven't got an EGT reading so don't want to push my luck.

Thats realy lean mate, The numbers i use are as follows

At max load i want about 12.2 knowing that at max load ten percent more fuel is the best for power and consumption as well as keeping the burn cool. I tend to use 12.2 or 12 for safety. Now at low loads i've always woundered whats the limit i can go and never went over 14.7. At medium lowed i use around 13. Now heres a good question. The egt gauge should tell you how hot things are getting. The next question is at what temp does the turbo and engine fail. That i dont real know I would guess around 900c.???? If i know that, then it would be fare to say i can lean it out untill i see a high EGT reading.???? Boy back to the tuning lessons. lol.

am i on the right track, keeping in mind that everyone that i talk to about tuning has there own ideas, and nothing seems to be solid stuff. I take it all in and reaserch the answers so all the answers really do help.

I agree that the ecu will target a afr of 14.7, but this is only at a certain point right?? ok so now that feed back is off and we are at high loads it will no longer target it to 14.7 but what i have in the maps right???

well thanks again mate.

Can i tell the power Fc to target a differnt afr Like 15.5 rather than 14.7 ?????? or i have to tune the low to medium parts of the map????

You have to tune it, with o2 feedback on it will always target 14.7 because that's all the narrow band sensors are good for.

There is no danger running lean on low load as long as you keep the EGT's under control and the car isn't surging. But you have to make sure that your transient throttle enrichment is set up properly so that as soon as any throttle is applied the AFR's will jump back to an appropriate number. You will find a lot of people on here and other places will be running leaner AFR's than I am at cruise, I've seen as lean as 17:1.

I can remember seeing transient throttle in my heltech ps2000 but not in the power fc, i'll check again

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
