Hey Guys

Got sick of my engine light being on this week so I did the self-diagnostic test as seen on this website and it flashed the code 33 which apparently means heated oxygen sensor. I just had installed a KLS split dump pipe (with the correct thread for the sensor) and now it wont turn off

Anyone had this problem before or know how I could go about rectifying it?

So I played round with the connections as the exhaust shop left one half clipped and the light has gone off after a good drive, fingers crossed it stays off!

Check the fault code again. Although the light isnt on it may still be faulty. My 34 has the code 33 at the moment, my 02 sensor is shagged but the light doesnt always come on.

Mine threw up this code yesterday, it came on after a bit of a spirited drive. It went away for around 30 mins but came on this morning on the way into work.

Definatley a dud sensor then, or does it just overheat when on boost and then come good? My car too has a split dump pipe

Mine ended up staying off so was the connection that the exhaust shop left off. Just double check them and if your sensor is dud move it off for a new one :)

Yeah I unplugged it and gave it a quick spray with rp7, been good since.

Checked the air fuel ratio on the dyno and it was a constant 13.7/1 at cruising speed/throttle

is that a typo? Should be 14.7

Nah, defiantley was between 13.2 - 13.7 under reasonably light load / light acceleration up to crusing speed.

I woulddn't have thought you'd acheive perfect stoich mixture, even at idle?

Anyhow, car was on the dyno making sure the Nistune I put in was functioning right, and it was only the WOT settings that ended up being tweaked to suit. We'll be looking at the light load stuff when I've got a bit more time.

So far though, I'm getting better economy than the stock ECU which means its all going in the right direction

Hey Bryce, Jeremy just got one from Ebay which I installed for him. Seems to have stopped his Engine light coming on.

It was a PEC brand which is what his old one was too. You just need to connect it to the stock Plug.

Vulture Motorsport sells them on here. :thumbsup:

Josh, sorry for the noob question, understand that there are 2 oxygen sensors on the RB25DET? Kudos only sells 1 kind, does it fit for both? I too have a fault code 33. Cheers!

there's only one, the other sensor is a cat overheat sensor for the dash

Oh, thanks very much Johnny, I was informed by my mechanic that there were 2 different sensors. Any idea if it's easy to DIY? Cheers!

Yes mate, very easy to do. Al you need is (from memory) a 21mm spanner. Unbolt old sensor, bolt in new sensor. It is located behind the turbo.

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
