WEEKEND UPDATE!

scotty had to remove and weld up my throttle body/afm, where the iacv valve should be. i will get him to barb it in the future so i can remote mount it.

all this was required to fit the euro spec top feed micra fuel rail. (its from the same engine, just a 10 year on updated coilpack version)

we then added various o-rings and shiz (scotty is a genius at this, i wouldnt have known where to start)

370cc neo/stagea injectors installed!

i then spent freaking ages trying to get a 33gtr pump installed in the stock cradle. eventualled managed to get it in there with a slight change in where it picks up from......

tank was drained of dino fuel and replaced with 20 litres of e85.......

i then pulled out my shiny new nistune fitted ecu. installed it, and primed the pump a few times. we found a small leak at the fpr, and just found it wasnt seated properly. scottty bent some welding wire and inserted it, holding the fpr down and leak be gone!

guess what.

it works.

took it for a couple of laps around the estate and it works fine, even getting some boost down very very low, so i have to be careful.

she is ready to be tuned!

apart from one small tiny thing.

the pick up location of the fuel pump no means if i go round a right hand corner with less than half a tank, it stutters hahah!

we filled her up with e85 and i went for another spin. shes fine. will drain the tank at a later date and rotate the pickup.

nistune, added 30% more fuel across the range to allow me to use e85 to get there. the car is running hella rich, but drives fantastic.

really looking forward to friday';s results.

next on the agenda is to finish the swift gti seats install. they are slightly higher up than the micra seats, but this is fine for now. will head over to finish welding the passenger on thursday and pick the car up for the tune.

f**k. yea.

literally the stock ecu with a daughter board attached to allow tuning of factory maps.

sure it doenst have duel maps, and the features of all the other options, but its the cheapest, and thats what matters! haha!

what do you run on the pulsar?!

yeah thats what I thought. good jerb

was just curious as pulsar version of nistune is just a daughterboard. its cheap, easy and effective for what you need for +T. however apparently skyline version is $$$.

(I have powerfc but know heaps of turbo and VVL pulsars on nistune)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
