Weirdest running rich problem above 3000rpm

Hi all.

Hope someone can help me with my problem.

I have an R32 GTR, freshly build RB28.

Mapped with Nistune. Car was running fine while we mapped it and also the day after that.

Next day it had the weirdest problem.

Car is running completly normal until exactly 3000rpm. Above 3000rpm the AFR drops to 10.5:1 instantly and stays there almost the entire rev range. Doesn't matter if I'm driving oder reving it in neutral.

It also doesn't matter what settings we make in Nistune. It's always the same above 3000rpm.

 

What we checked so far:

-both AFM have rising voltage with rev and load

-TPS has normal Voltage

-has 3000km old Splitfire coilpacks

-has 4000km old Mine's AFMs

-has 200km old Sard 850cc high impedance injectors and resistor delete

-tried a different CAS

-shows normal water temperatur

-shows normal IAT temperatur

-problem also happens with unpluged O2-Sensors.

 

Looks like some kind of limp mode to me, but can't figure it out.

I'm realy pissed with the car (again).

Hope someone can help me.

How much did the 2.8 kit cost? Spend a few bucks more and get a Link or such like. Also are they old school Sards? If so get some modern injectors and double check the settings. Have you replaced the fuel pump...tested fuel pressure?

I actually like the Nistune and would like to keep it.

And they are not old school Sard, they are the new type with 6 hole for better spray pattern. P&P kit for rb26 engine.

 

We also tried a completly new basemap and it was the same. So no problem in the settings.

 

Fuel pressure is spot on, Greddy in car gauge shows no drop or rise in pressure.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
