pulse timing is a whole map calculation however like GTSboy says it is more noticable at idle and light load due to the fact the injector is opening and closing at a slower rate therefore making the latency timing more important.....its often a struggle to get larger injectors to idle well anyway...however newer tech injectors don't seem to suffer the same issues.

bump up the idle RPM to around 900~1000rpm and run it pig rich :D

The cheap man pays twice... As you just found out.

Any Sard injectors will have similar issues, and they get worse the larger they are.

I can get new 550cc sidefeeds to suit the 33 that will run fine, but that is the largest they can supply. For anything else you will need to fork out for genuine Nismo's, or swap to a top feed setup which work out around the same price.

I've been running sard 650s in my 93 liner for 9 years with the first round of PFC with supporting mods no probs,it's all with the tune,

I have been using a fantastic PFC tuner in Sydney, hi yavuz. :-)

Ok just gave all the suggestions a go, no luck

Didn't hydro lock the engine when I started it so that probably rules leaking O rings out

The car doesn't want to stall anymore, would go back to idle fine at traffic lights, unlike yesterday when I was playing with the latency. Idle holds steady and is actually driveable. Just down on power and feels like it's running on 5 cylinders.

I haven't had time to check if it's actually a bad injector just yet, could only confirm that it's not #1 caus it's the easiest one to get to

Btw these 540s should be the same injector series as those 650s, same shape, both twin sprays just different colour.

If it works fine on ur car it should be fine on mine, providing that there's no damaged injectors and it's set up properly

I had my tuner do all the work,I do 30000 a year

hope you get it sorted.A lot of mechs put the sards

in the two hard basket but some can get it right,

where are you? I will recommend my tuner,uni group engineering in Sydney

yavuz is the genious with the PFC and what not. :-)

one thing you can do is grab a long screw driver stick it to your ear and put it on to each of the injector metal covers and listen for it ticking....if you don't hear one ticking it could be stuck... all 6 of my freshly flow tested 850's were stuck....

Thanks guys

Yeah I had both nismos and Sards in two of my old cars and felt the Sards did the job just as well. Sure it wasn't exactly as easy as the nismos but I didn't have to worry about breaking the pintle caps when putting them in

At least the Sards are probably easier to pull out now because it uses Allen key bolts, just maybe not the #5 and 6

Yeah I'm in sydney but I've always gone to Toshi to get my cars tuned, since he just lives around the corner for me

Will try the screwdriver trick thanks Badgaz!

Ok here's the latest update

Tried the screw driver trick, could hear all injectors going

Pulled the plugs on #1, 2 and 6, all seems to affect the engine. Couldn't get to the plugs on 3, 4 and 5

So went back in the car and tried to adjust the latency on individual injectors, individual changes made to 2- 6 affects idle except for #1 cylinder.

I could put the latency correction to -1 and it won't make any difference, yet if I pull the plug then it will. So it seems like #1 injectors delivering fuel but not responding to latency changes

Can this happen? I thought injectors either die or alive?

PFC is brand new when a bought it a couple of mths ago, so I doubt it's the ECU

do you have a wideband? if you can get the afr's roughly right it should be driveable.... you'll need to get it to a tuner with a fcdatalogit.

Nuh I don't have a wideband

It is driveable, just lack of power and sounds like wrx, I already took it around the block a couple of times today when testing it. Lucky toshi doesn't live too far away so I can get the car to him once I replace #1 injector if it is a dud

At least if it's really #1 then I won't have to pull the rail out again, it's easy to access that injector

I'm just puzzled at how it could be possible that an injector is delivering fuel but not respond to adjustments made while others do, in both fuel % and latency

not much he can do about it now

he reckons its likely that either one of the injector's dud or ECU or coilpack is stuffed

seeing it was runnings 100% before the injectors i guess one of the injectors needs to be replaced :/

will be checking the spark plugs later

Update: as Toshi has suggested I've taken the spark plugs out and had a look at it

they were all running rich judging by the spark plugs, this is from cyl 1, the rest all pretty much looked the same

tn_gallery_27668_5717_21799.jpg

AFAIK they all still produce spark- engine drop revs when each of the injectors were unplugged, including #1

Only thing suss- cyl # 1 injector doesn't respond to changes on the PFC

Changes on every other injector affects idle

so could be the PFC, could be the injector. The PFC is only 6 mths old and injectors were also new

:/

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
