Is there any way of making my r33 run leaner without getting a safc but still running higher than stock boost?

because at the moment it has a flat spot after it hits full boost.

If anything you would want it to run richer then leaner. As running an RB25det lean will cause your stock pistons to melt.

If you are really that desperate to make it run lean, Buy a power fc, so you know exactlly how lean its running.

I have yet to see a single RB25DET with standard ECU that goes lean when you turn the boost up. They start off rich when standard and just get richer the more boost you add. :)

PS; the cheapest way I know to lean them out is with a Jaycar Digital Fuel Adjuster, take a look at the Stagea thread for details.

Have had experience with 2 Rb25det running lean with stock computers, Once more boost has been added. Melting stock internals.

We had one dynoed at 14psi. With stock turbo, Stock inj, Front Mount, and Stock pump, And afr was 30:1.

It only lasted a month or 2 after the dyno. Now re-buit with Forgies :flamed:

This is what happens if you run it too lean:

Their is a way to make the fuel mixtures more leaner.

The vacume hose going from the manifold to the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail, add negative pressure on it. eg: put a brass restricter inside it like one thats in the stock boost hose, To make it richer take the hose off & bloke manifold side up.

This should only be done with a stock ecu not aftermarket - PFC etc.

Yep, you can do that, or fit an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and turn it down (instead of up, as is normal to increase the fuel flow). But that changes the whole fuel map, and I have yet to see a standard ECU Skyline that needs to run leaner everywhere, they always need either to be little richer or stay the same at many load points. :)

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
