Hey guys and girls

At the moment i need to take out my Wolf 3D and place the standard computer back in and get it running.

I have the standard one in now and it will fire up for half a sec and then stalls straight away. If i give it a bit of revs to keep it running, it feels as if the timing is out.

Two things were changed under the bonnet (that i have noticed). Could any of these have anything to do with not running?

1. line going to the computer for boost controller (Its now blocked)

2. hose cut at the boost solenoid

Please help as i have to have it running by tomorrow morning with the standard Computer in.

I will have pictures in about an hour up

Thanks

I had a similar problem the first time i fired mine up after the engine swap. Turned out to be the fuel pump speed control wasn't plugged into the dropping resistor and so when the ecu wanted to drop the fuel pump speed at idle it would stall.

An easy solution to the problem if you cant find the resistor is to chop the wire at the ecu for the fuel pump speed control and it will have the fuel pump work at the normal speed all the time.

Do you know which wire is for the fuel pump? where should the resister be located? The AFM was used with the wolf 3d so it shouldnt be that.

this one has the blue tube that was added and the boost solenoid tube cut

this one had a T piece put in then goes to the wolf but its blocked at the other end

Thanks for your help, shouldnt be to long before i can get it going now

I noticed when they put the wolf in my car that my tuner turned the CAS (round thingy in front of the exhaust cam) fully anti-clockwise and tuned it from there. So check your CAS too since that determines the base timing for the standard ECU.

The CAS hasnt been moved since i got the car, but i will have another check tomorrow morning.

The reason im changing it back, is I have to travel over to Adelaide and im pretty sure i cant get BP98 all the way over.

Is there a way of changing something on the wolf so that i can travel with normal premium?

You could retard the timing a bit for the trip but it isn't the best thing to do, especially for a long trip. You're right, you won't get 98 accross the Nullabor. You could carry jerrys but it is still a long way.

Your last stop for BP fuel is at Norseman. Give them a call and find out whether they carry it. Then you won't get it again until maybe Port Augusta. Which still means that there is I think almost 2000klm's between stops. What type of fuel economy do you get?

You could carry some good quality octaine booster with you as well. Just stay off the hard boost. How bad doed your car ping with normal stuff?

98 is available all the way across now that Caltex sells it as well

Am I missing something here?????

The whole idea of a aftermarket ECU is being able to load custom maps to suit what you're doing with your car!!

Get it tuned for std unleaded and you'll not only travel safely, you'll be able to get an "economy tune" if the tuner knows what he's doing.

As TJ says, it'll be at a lower boost with some timing taken out. You should also be able to lean out the off boost/low boost load points and save some fuel as well! Just make sure that you well and truely flush the std fuel before reloading the "nasty" maps.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
