5 bucks says plugs are dripping.

Got them out, BLACK as, like black velvet , all of them :(

I guess you owe $5

Frankly it's not a big commendation of the quality of the tune.

I don't know much about tuning but i own and driven a car that i know for sure ran rich for a while and it certainly turnt into a slapper, not saying yours will, but it must create more wear so wondering if this is a running in strategy?? could it be or not..

umm no. running a motor rich while it is new is very bad for it, fuel in the bores causes glazing, preventing the rings from bedding in properly.

in bad cases it can need a strip down and re-hone to fix it.

This, excessive rich is bad, just not as bad as really lean

What the hell would you know about engines....lol

(sorry uncle Dunc)

thats all I need :/

new plugs in and will not be driving it until they have a look at what is going on using the info I give them and connecting to the ECU and adjusting the tune.

yeah sorry, not trying to alarm just inform.

also the other issue for excessively rich tune on a new motor is fuel gets past the unbedded rings and into the oil...and petrol is terrible for bearings.

I had a chat to croydon about this build.

I want the same motor!

I think the motor is fine and once sorted it will be a very good all round DD , just frustrating :(

Why would you want the same motor

Can't afford it if you live on the central coast and need to take it there three times, petrol and accomodation is expensive. :rolleyes:

How rich does it need to be to foul plugs, and how rich to cause running in problems? Big or small difference? Hopefully rich enough to foul plugs doesn't mean rich enough to cause problems running in.

Accommodation or transportation are equally expensive and a pain in the arse, but that is my problem.

I would also like to know "how rich" is too rich and how long before it can cause damage? I see it can even contaminate your oil if it is bad enough and that cant be good!

It seems too lean or too rich causes problems, but rich seems to be preferred to lean

just about back to the original thread topic, my fuel is too rich and then once it is leaned out a bit, will it give a better power result..

I know now that after a short time with new plugs you can feel the car getting more sluggish and it is not long before it wont rev much past 6000rpm without playing up.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
