another workaround (if you don't know what the deadtimes are), set roughly what you think the dead times are..

set your VE on your fuel map to 80 or so then adjust the deadtimes till your AFRs are stoich.

Actually, better yet, get bigger injectors!

This is just to get motor run in and sorted.

That sounds like a good idea.

So increase the fuel map % so the highest is around 80% giving it better resolution?

^ no no no.. only the idle cells, it's just a way to determine the dead time at x voltage.

So what you do, set the VE to 80 for cells around idle 0 to 50kPA and 0 to 900 rpm. Start car, monitor the voltage then adjust the dead time till you hit stoich.

Of course all other VE cells will need to be adjusted to suit as the base map isn't really ideal.

alternativly if the ecu supports changing from sequential to batch fire have it running at a stable afr using batch fire, then swap to sequential if its leaner when sequential then increase dead times, if its richer decrease, and change back and forth like that until there is no change in afr

Setting idle fuel load cells with a VE of 80 on most engines would be throwing mixtures in the mid to high 11's and possibly even deeper into the 10's or more as VE is dependent on the VE of an engine, all are different.

if the engine has cams and some brappy overlap good chance you'll be adding way too much fuel in those load sites causing the car to stall at an instant. Instant plug foul.

I'm not sure how your example can give you a accurate dead time as dead Times need to be measured over voltage and fuel rail pressure.

that data cannot be obtained while it's running in a car unless you're adjusting your voltage in your car somehow and see no erratic change in your Afr.

Even then you'd still be guessing

It's more of a guestimate way of setting it up rather than getting it precisely correct, many tuners have done that in the past namely PowerFC days.

Of course getting trade right data across voltage vs. lag time is ideal however it may be difficult to obtain data for stock side feeds hence the recommendation.

Many tuners do all sorts of things to get that I agree but it's called close enough.

80% VE at idle is not a good idea and you'll quickly be pulling plugs out from fouling.

The correct data would be voltage vs fuel pressure = lag time

I'm guilty of doing this, but if you drop the dead time enough you'll hit stoich on idle.

Yes you will hit stoich but choking you're dead times to decrease fuel supply to your fuel map is bodgie hard that's not the way to get your afr's correct and all your numbers will be ass about in your base map which is your foundation so it needs to be perfect before any subfolders are corrected otherwise you will chase your tail forever and never have anything working correctly.

so all your correction maps will never be correct.

Even cold start percentages like intake temperature corr and so forth.

If you put your high beams on I bet you your air fuel ratio changes?

this is what dead time is all about.

Yes I am 100% of all this, but if you have no data how else you going to set it?

With the high beam thing, easy go monitor your voltage and tweak the voltage vs dead time table when your head lights are on.

I've see a handful of tunes from reputable workshops that have a linear straight line as their dead times.

If your happy with close enough than that'll work. I wouldn't settle for that myself.

changing VE on base map to 80% at idle is not correct approach your best to Change the Dead times which is clearly the issue everything else is a band-aid approach that's all I'm saying.

Workshops do all sorts of weird and wonderful things unfortunately.

For every awesome successful build that happens I'm sure there's 10 that we don't hear of that are horror stories just saying.

Edited by mr skidz

Yes I am happy with that if I cannot find any data for an injector however these days everyone runs modern top feeds so the data is avaliable to just copy paste into a table.

If someone brings a car for me to tune with high flows I never use the data given, especially off Five O's site. Those numbers don't work at all.

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
