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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
