Advice Please - Injectors and Tune Issue

Hey guys. 

I've been getting parts together for a couple months and finally installed them into my R33. I got the following installed:

 

-Hypergear G3 21U high flow

- z32 AFM and stainless intake pipe

- Walbro 255lph fuel pump

- 550cc Injectors (STI side feeds, part # 16600-AA170 with harnesses)

- Nistune ECU

- 3in turbo-back stainless exhaust and Blitz FMIC already installed  

 

Along with the parts I also did all the maintenance items, got new NGK coppers gapped to 8mm, new fuel filter etc etc. However, when I got Toshi to try and tune my car, he claimed that the AFRs were being whack and it was misfiring at 5k rpm. I immediately thought of coils and I also didn't do the earthing mod for the fuel pump, so this might have been my issue. 

I ended up buying Yellow Jacket coils packs and I also earthed the fuel pump and checked to ensure full voltage. The car started fine, test drive fine low revs, etc. However, again getting Toshi to try and tune and check AFRs etc and we still can't run boost into it as he claims the AFRs are still unstable. He now says it's the Injectors but I don't know if I believe that as when we're in the "base" tune he did, the car isles fine, revs fine etc albeit a bit rich. 

 

In short, 2 questions:

1. I know there are better options, but how likely is it these Injectors are actually the issue? They're not high flowed, but genuine STI Injectors. Anyone else run these? I can send back under warranty if needed.

2. How likely is it that the tune is the issue? I read another thread on here where someone had a problem with a Toshi tune that came down to injector latency being set wrong and another tuner fixed it. 

I really feel feel like after all the work done, and the fact that a rich tune revs fine but another tune doesn't makes me think it's the tune? Anyway, I currently am advised by Toshi not to boost the car as the AFRs are off and he wants me to replace Injectors and go back to him. I just want other opinions. 

 

Sorry for essay. Thanks in advance.

The very, very first step when diagnosing this shit is to put a fuel pressure gauge onto it and see what that is doing under load.  It is cheap (free) and it takes 90 seconds to do.  Speculating about the health of injectors is a waste of time before knowing this one fact.

Yellow Jackets are also famously variable in their quality.  Any set of 6 might be fine, but any one of them might be f**ked from the factory.  Ergo, they are a waste of time and money.

Thanks for the replies guys.

The injectors are remanufactured but have been tested and all ok (got the paper at home).

I haven't checked fuel pressure so I may have to do this.

Johnny (above) is going to have a crack at tuning for me, cheers mate!

      The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
