Hey guys,

Im stumped on a fuel issue in my R34 GTT,

It's hitting 100% duty cyle at 11.9 AFR up top at around the 500rwhp mark. Any help would be appreciated!

I've attached some screenshots of my map if it helps? Fuel pump has bigger wiring to it with a relay and direct battery connection.

Mod list below.

Standard RB25 NEO

Steam pipe high mount manifold

Garrett GTX3582R V-band rear housing

Turbosmart ProGate 50mm

Bosch 1000cc injectors

Proflow fuel rail

Tomei fuel pressure regulator

Plazmaman plenum

Haltech Platinum Pro ER34 Plug-in

Haltech 4 bar map sensor

Haltech boost control solenoid

Haltech flex fuel sensor

Splitfire coil packs

Custom stainless dump and front pipe

100 cell Venom cat converter

HKS HighPower 4" cat back exhaust

600x300x100mm FMIC

Any time anyone says an AFR number when talking about E85, and the AFR sounds like a petrol AFR, then just pretend the fuel is petrol. It's that simple. No-one would tune to a real AFR of 11.9 on E8

Replaced filter, 80% duty in 3rd at 7500 rpm. Not sure how that compares to 4th gear on dyno however.

interesting. the Walbro pump should be able to handle more than that for sure. As well as the injectors.

How much boost was used before the injectors maxed out?

perhaps the fuel pump isn't genuine?

Do you have a direct feed for the pump?

I believe those ones can draw close to 20A at high boost. That's more than I'd be comfortable putting through the factory fuel lid connections.

Maybe drill a hole in the lid and poke some high current wires through then seal it up

I'm honestly not sure.

The dyno chart shows that its at 11.9 at peak power. I didnt take a picture however.

I'm also using standard fuel pump cradle, standard lines under the bottom of the car.

next question is, did the tuner tune to AFR or to Lambda? correct Lambda should be around the 0.81 mark... if your tuner tunes using afr his calculations could be way off in which case it's probably mega rich hence why its maxed

What fuel filter are you using?

I'm not joking. I upgraded the injectors in your situation and had a limitation at that exact point.

Mind you, this is 372rwkw. It's getting 'up there' for 1000s.

If your AFR's start OK then start to leeeean out to about 12-13 as you really get into it.... seriously try something else instead of a Ryco filter. Try a dyno run without one.

I have had a few 34's doing the same thing lately on ethanol, large injectors suddenly maxing as the fuel flow drops off. As Greg said, we removed his filter while it was on the dyno and the entire fuel map went rich.

His Ryco had only recently been changed too. We replaced it with a stainless mesh filter.

Exactly, that is how we found the flow was dropping off. You have no idea what is happening without a gauge on the feed line, and you need to be on a dyno if the gauge is in the engine bay.

Speaking of which, it seems some factory regs can be too small for the 460L pumps, they don't bypass enough. The S15 I worked on recently was tuned at 60psi at idle, no wonder the car wouldn't idle well with twice the fuel pressure it should have had. It is definitely an important test that should be checked after any major fuel system mods.

Fuel gauge on the feed line? Is a gauge on the reg not able to tell you correct fuel pressure?

Well I just bought a speedflow filter with barb fitting to replace current ryco one and a new bulkhead fitting for the cradle as a few people have said the stock fitting is very small. I'll have a fun weekend ahead of me!

my walbro e85 pump is making 450rwkw at 24psi on e85 no problems so don't think its the pump

I think your injectors are at the limit, my old 1200cc injectors were at 100% duty at 409rwkw with 55psi base pressure

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
