Car is getting a wide band kit as part of the Haltech install.

As I said, this was only to see if I could get it driveable to the tuner, if not, tow truck it is.

Yeah didn't think it wouldn't case any damage.

Other than if I went out and WOT the car and leaned it out.

if you're going to drive the car in this unknown state of tune make sure at least you're O2 feed back function is switched on under very very light throttle it will at least be looking for 14.7/ 1 regardless of your tune.

Just don't put load on it.

It's in the menu feature I can't recall where it is but it says a o2/FB and then some Kanji symbols you need to learn which one is on and off last time I played with it was 10 years ago so I'm a bit vague

Did this last night, I opted to sacrifice the resistor pack side of the loom to leave the ECU side in tact so this is reversible if needed.

I am a shit solderer, a mate told me more heat into the wires would help the solder penetrate better. That said I tested the wires before twisting and after soldering for continuity. The soldered section is also heat shrink wrapped under the tape. The whole thing is hidden under the fuse box now and cable tied to stay still.

Scaled injectors down to 48% and took a guess at latency (added .35 or so). Car started, and rev'd much more cleanly, no hunting. Still a bit rich though.

I also found feedback loop control in the PFC and turned that on, on was easy to tell as the warnings were all set to a specific symbol, knock, injector etc, but the boost control kit was set to a different symbol.

there was a lot of mis information here..

and a note, if you solder each wire individually before you join them all you will get much better heat penetration.

basically running high-Z injectors with the ballast meant that your injector circuit impedance was higher. this was extending the dead time of the injectors as your injector coil current was lower so they take longer to open before fuel delivery actually begins. without correcting for this, your effective fuel delivery pulse would have been shorter, and at idle pulse widths (~1.5-2ms) may not have opened at all.

re wiring fuel pump shouldn't affect anything as long as your regulator is large enough to bypass the entire fuel pump flow. it just maintains your base pressure regardless of flow.

if you get your injector scaling % and dead times correct it should run perfectly. the 1000cc aren't too bad as far as low pulse width flow linearity so if you are only driving to the tuners like a grandma, bugger all Throttle and staying away from any positive pressure and only low revs you can have it as lean as it will run happily. if it hunts around just richen it up a bit by reducing the scaling value. the narrowband Voltage/reading should give you enough information at cruise conditions to know when you're in the ballpark (more than 0.6 or so volts).

a good way (if it starts) is to let it get to a stable idle (post start enrichments over), then raise the scaling value until it hunts or your narrowband value drops below 0.2V (you'll be around 15-16 afr) ... then go in the other direction until it gets a bit rough. you'll be around 10/11.. split the difference, that'll be good enough. you'll have no load on the engine while you do this, and it wont take long at all. so you won't damage anything.

if it's a new engine with new piston rings i would be much more careful, as your bed in procedures require good AFRs so I wouldn't take the risk.

you need to know what the flow and dead time details for the injectors you have just replaced are so you can make the corrections.

Apexi Docs:

Factory injectors are 440cc @ .772ms.

for your reference:

Bosch 1000cc ev14 deadtimes @ 43.5psi:

8v 2.35ms

10v 1.72ms

12v 1.22ms

14v 0.86ms

16 0.68ms

Edited by burn4005

Bumped the latency modifier for a total of around 1.2ms total.

After letting the water and oil temps come up, one oxygen sensor showed .78v the other showed .28v despite all injectors being set the same.

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
