i think the red lines up with the red, and the blue lines up with the blue...you can tell by using the grid...

However, you are right in that the blue doesnt line up with the red...

As you can also tell, its the stock ECU with speed limiter - cant wait to get that powerfc in to that fix low and mid range 12.5 13 AFR !!

yea i know - not bad for a stock 93 ECU, huh ??.....

Bloody miracle I'd say. :D

I have never seen a standard R33 ECU produce A/F ratios anywhere near that good. Ignoring the speed limiter, are you sure it's a standard ECU?

If that's a stock ECU then I'll be very surprised too. I've also got a 93 ECU and when I had the exact same mods with 1 Bar of boost my AF ratios dipped into the 9s at one point and were generally in the 10s.

There's no chance your dyno operator could have changed the software on the dyno? It is shootout mode though, so this shouldn't affect it.

stock ecu, stock boost...

Knore - i wasnt claiming the dyno figure as i know this is way too high - rather the difference between the two readings...

Based on the AFR's they mustve got confused with either another car reading, or its some kind of mistake..

ill be getting a real boost gauge done soon - ill also get another dyno run and check out the AFR's and see if there is any difference..

otherwise, ive just wasted my cash on a powerfc !! :) :jk:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
