HI Guys

some help here please

so I have rebuilt my rb26 from scratch, flowed and ported head with Tomei poncam type-b

so first install with rc750cc injectors and Mine's mafs brings no joy, idle is rough afr erratic, i can lean the afr out completly and it would still run rich

replaced the mafs with old mafs and old injectors still the same problem

the car came with bov's that vent to atmosphere I have disconnected them they are not leaking at all when disconnected

when driving the car it hesitates alot but when turbo's start making neutral pressure 0bar the AFR starts to lean out then when on boost its start riching up like You would expect and it feels pretty solid on boost with no issues

any suggestions

could the cams perhaps be out to overlap and cause an issue like this?

Thanks hope somebody can shed some light

are you using the same map loaded on your powerfc as before? i recommend, if you can...to do a data initialise (wipe) of your power fc and then reload your maps...then run through the startup procedure for the powerfc again. if you can't do this...i'd recommend taking it to a tuner that can.

I have initialized the apexi so with stock injectors and mafs you would expect it to idle like normal but no luck, its just beyond rich and adjusting the correction does not lean it out

I am thinking that the ovelap of the cams 35degrees is maybe losing some of the air in the chamber and causing the richness

but driving at low RPM is also horrid so much hesitation

if it's a fresh build perhaps cam timing is out? how big are the type b's? I thought they were pretty streetable AFAIK.

Also, not that it would matter in idle but you can't tell if the Bov's are leaking without pressure testing

I sparyed some quick start in the bovs while idling with no change in idle

paid so much attention to the timing when assembling the motor but will chack again

does anybody know what would be safe degrees to start off with when degreeing these cams could maybe close some of the overlap

check your o2 sensors.... They could be poked. unless you have o2 feedback turned off. either way if you are not able to tune it.. try getting it Tuned.

The cams wont cause the issues you are having, unless installed incorrectly.

I only recently installed type B's into my neo and it has been running fine with no change to the tune (havent had a chance to get on the dyno yet)

ok so Update

I checked cam timing according to true TDC everything is spot on

I did a compression test on the fresh motor couple of km's on it and it was super low 6bar 87psi cold, could be due to cams and not run in yet

I am at a loss here and I feel I want to burn this fekker :/

so when on idle now it would be on 12 afr but very rough as soon as i want to rev it up slowly it starts leaning out up to the point that it wants to die

when I leave the throttle it wants to die aswell then i need to sort of keep it alive, I am now getting a set of standard recirc bovs in hope that that can help but wont bet my life on it

Yes I do have bigger injectors

I have RC pl4-750d 750cc injectors, played alot with the settings and ended up on 59.2% and +0.24 lag time

this seems to work best, if anyone has used these injectors with apexi would you mind sharing your experience and settings please

try this:

  1. Reset PowerFC
  2. Set scaling in ball park
  3. Select correct AFMs
  4. Turn off O2 feedback
  5. Start/Rev car up to around 3000 rpm & hold (when warm)
  6. Adjust scaling till car hits stoich (roughly)
  7. let it idle, then adjust lag time till idle is stoich (roughly)
  8. tidy up map
  9. Enable O2 feedback
  10. Take to tuner

These are the Lag times i could find for the injectors.

Update

I think I resolved the issue here

did a silicone grease trick on the ignition coils

degreed cams a bit +2 intake -4 exhaust

installed stock bov's recirculation

now with the setting of 59.2 and 0.24 on the injectors it idles almost perfect 14.7

acceleration is also almost find just a bit of leanness when initial pushing of the throttle

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
