Car is R34 GT-R.

Installed these and car ran briefly with only a correction factor change (set at 48%) but I'm not sure what the latency should be. The car wants to start and almost does.

Other factors to consider, also installed Walbro 460LPH pump with direct battery feed via relay. Have confirmed there's fuel in the rail and that the pump is priming/supplying fuel and getting full voltage.

I bought the set from Kudos which come in a Sonic Performance bag and have part number BSS1000.

Closest I've found is this but I'm not sure what voltage the 34 runs as per that table - http://nyet.org/cars/info/ev14-latency/1000cc.png

Why?

Or, organise the tuner to come to you and set the settings and do some road tuning before the dyno.

Or, drive to tuner on current injectors and baby the car. Change injectors there. Retune.

do you have a wideband?

scale the injectors to the right percentage then set the fuel map where it idles at around 100, now adjust the latency on the fly till the idle afr is at around stoich

Take into account the injectors are not connected to the same pump as before on same voltage now.

Your new pump is hard-wired to battery now meaning the first 2 load cells @ idle will need even less duty cycle again as the squirter is under more rail pressure now.

Latency settings need to be correct before starting the car.

Your plugs will now be wet.

I Wouldn't be touching a single adjustment on a ecu without wideband connected.

It's like crossing the motorway blindfolded.

I got the car started last night after leaving it for a while, but I put the PFC settings back to where they were - which should have been way too rich. It didn't want to rev cleanly and would hunt after dropping back down from revs. I turned it off and the penny dropped. These are high impedance injectors...

Is there a generally accepted way to remove the resistor block?

Just to get it to the tuner. No big deal if I can't will tow it. I always like to have a go where possible.

I wouldn't think it would have any effect other than giving less voltage due to increased resistance in the circuit. (My ohm's law memory is sketchy but I thought higher resistance meant less voltage and given the injectors are being fed through the resistor block, will be seeing less voltage than they want).

Which will be why the car actally ran with the injector percentage scaler put back to stock in the PowerFC.

When I spoke to Sonic Performance they said it won't have caused any damage but the injectors won't flow properly until the resistor is removed.

Ahh, lower current not voltage. cheers.

Either way, less amps isn't going to "hurt" the injectors as far as I'm aware?

Read that something fried on an RX7 doing the same thing I think they fried the ECU not sure how but I read it last week on the RX7 forum it was in regards to the ballast resistor someone left it in when they should have removed it.

I don't believe that statement is correct... the job of the fuel pressure regulator (FPR) is to control rail pressure.

Regardless of what the fuel pump OR fuel pressure being pushed into the rail, the FPR will control the rail pressure to maintain 3 bar of fuel pressure going into the motor (taking into account the plenum vac/pressure).

The only instance where the fuel pressure is all over the shop (using the factory regular) is when there's so much flow it cannot return fuel quick enough.. usually caused by running surge tank setups with twin pumps.

Can't imagine it doing damage to components, injectors may not operate 100% properly maybe?

The resistor pack was just to fool the ecu thinking it was driving high impedance injectors. It was the fashion at the time.

you are right. I went back to edit my brain fart but I'm flat out busy at work right now ;/

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
