I got a little problem here.

First thing first. The car worked great with the AEM ecu untill I changed my fuel lines.

I got good readings from my 3.5 AEM MAP and my AEM IAT sensor.

But when I got from -AN4 to -AN6 fuel lines on the feed side I had to tur the pressure up. It is at 3 bar. Still -AN4 on the fuel return line.

SO when I unplug the TPS sensor i can start it and it idles good(rich), but if I contect the TPS back in the car stops, or if I touch the throttle, the car stops. Like it's drowning or something.

Is there anything I can do just to get it going to my tuner?

Spec:

RB25det

750cc injector

255 fuel pump

AEM Series II

3.5 MAP AEM

IAT AEM sensor

I have tried to set the fuel pressure down. But no luck. I had to turn the fuel pressure up because it was under 1bar.

But it runs ok when tps is unpluged.. and when the tps is unpluged the tps has 100%.

I know it is 100% because it has no volts, but i gues there should be something I could adjust to get it moving at least.

I adjusted the pressure without the vac line. And then connected it back on. I gues there is something I hvae to to in the AEM software. But I don't really know all the settings there.

And it would be great to have it going before I got it to mapping.

I think that -AN4 lines is a bit small. So thats why i wanted to go one size up. It was just to make sure it got enough gogojuice.

I will play with the software tomorrow and see what I can do by myself.

But it should not be a problem using smaller returnline that feedline, should it?

It depends on pump flow and pressure.

I run two 6an feed lines, one per rail, and one 6an return. This isn't an issue for me as the twin Walbro 255's don't flow a huge amount of fuel. With a larger pump pressure would rise, (at idle mainly, as the injectors aren't using much fuel.)

A way around this is to reduce the power to the pump at low demand using a pwm output controller. If you can slow the pumps down enough that the return doesn't max out, and the pressure is stable, and tune it into the map somehow you will be able to run a massive pump off a small return. I have a 1500hp Fuel lab to fit into my setup for this very reason, they have a built in PWM controller which can be speed controlled by any ecu.

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
