hey,

I just had my r33 dyno, and the dyno was stop cuz it started to ping (was only running 0.6bar). So its time for FMIC.

I want to do it right the 1st time so im going to buy a intake plenum alone with the fmic.

I was looking at the Greenline website and saw

Trust GReddy Surge Tank

(Intake Parts) ¥73,631

Intake Plenum. Suitable for use with TRUST or standard fuel rail and injectors.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trust Throttle Body Adapter

(Intake Parts) ¥7,363

Adapter to use factory throttle body with GReddy Surge Tank (Intake Plenum).

I was told i would need the throttle body adapter, is this ture?

and is this baiscly all i need apart from the ic?

thanks mike

You may also want to take it to a decent dyno shop, I have trouble believing you got detonation at only 0.6 bar, thats like stock boost (pluss a tiny bit). Why even tune it for 0.6bar, I mean add a bleed valve and go for 0.9bar (and you may have problems with detonation on hot days - but not at 0.6)

Just a thought - I assume you an exhaust and air pod ????

Before you go out and buy FMIC and Plenum, (I personally think plenum is a bit overkill unless you have a rebuild engine and ready to run a giant boost/high HP application)

do you make sure that your pinging is:

- not caused by merely heatsoak from the stock intercooler?

- dirty/stuffed plugs, or plugs with the wrong heat range installed?

- bad injectors (leaning out)?

- dying fuel pump? (not supplying enough fuel - lean mixture)

- stuffed AFM?

- blocked fuel line?

- stuffed engine (do a quick compression test on all cylinders to make sure)?

at the end of the day, I'd say go get fmic is good, but intake plenum hmmm...

not always needed if u had stock turbo and running under 1 bar. u might better

save the money for something else and get the greddy plenum till later. Many ppl on the forum can easily get 250rwkw with stock plenum, just exhaust, ecu, fmic and upgraded turbo.

hey thanks for the reply,

my car is running 100%.

The car has some sort of custum turbo using the differnt front end and the stock r33 rear end, also the car has a ebc set to 0.6bar (no spiking) i have exhuast (catback), ait filer, bov and r34 gt-t cooler upgrade.

But yeah the place i took the car too is very good place (not a backyard job) was done a ShootOut Mode Dynodansice (whoever u spell it) V4.

Dude - your car is not running 100% fine if it is pinging.

And also - just because your AFR graph goes up and down like that doesn't neccessarily mean you are pinging.

Pinging is an un-controlled explosion - a physical sound - not measured on a Dyno Graph -

You car might be pinging tho - we cant tell from here.

A front facing plenum won't fix pinging. Get your car tuned properly. Get a FMIC with a kit that redirects the air to your std plenum.

Put more fuel in

Get a bigger fuel pump

Retard your timing

There are lots of reasons that your AFR line is going like that

Cheers,

B-Man; the person who did the dyno run isnt a no-body and know his shit. He told me get fmic. i want to get a plenum for the simple fact that if i do change my turbo there is no point me doing the ic piping 2times if i go from stock to aftermarket plenum.

Also my car is tune fine, the dyno dude said if i got a safc II, it would be pointless he wont change my air, fuel ratio cuz they are fine not too rich and not lean. my timing is stock

Man I got 180rwKW out of a standard intercooler, and only had trouble with pinging on hot days when driving it too hard for too long (heat soak), and the boost was set to 13psi, so your figures are way off the mark if you cant tune it without pinging. My guess is that there is another problem with your car.

Im not sure whats wrong with the car, it drivers very nice, (and when i run 0.6bar and push it to limiter in 1/2/3rd gear i have no pinging problems) but on the dyno it started to ping at around 5500rpm in 4th gear :confused:

my ic might possible be ****ed its a r34 gtt cooler which is bigger than the 33 cooler so i through it would cooler better.

My 1st run i made 189rwhp (on stock boost 0.4bar) my 2nd run on stock boost also went down to 184rwhp (because of heat i was told)

The car was just done for a power-run not a tune

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
