started at approximately 4pm (sat afternoon)... finished approximately 7am (sun morning)... me, sparksta (brandon), and another friend of mine worked on the car all night.

We installed the following:

-nismo 555 injectors

-HKS gt-rs turbo kit

-unplugged and reset the PowerFC

(still have yet to install the PowerFC boostCntrlR

After finishing the install we started the car up... let it run for about 15 minutes... then decided to take a drive...

turbo would spool to about 5psi then begin to stutter/power loss/no response

took the car back to the house... checked vacuum lines, re-adjusted fuel pressure (43psi-w/o vacuum)... disconnected battery, drained power (pumped the brakes a few times)... reconnected battery and let the car run for another 15 minutes.

Round 2: drove the car up the street a block.... everything good... then POP... loose intercooler coupler popped off.... took the car back to the house... tightened the coupler back down and double checked the others.

Round 3: drove the car up the block... everything is running smooth... hit boost at 12psi... came to a stop... checked the FC and knock reached 165!!!!!

Drove the car back home off boost and parked it... The car hasn't been tuned in any shape or form yet.

I'm not sure if i need to set the PowerFC to let it know the injectors are bigger or what....

Just thought I'd let you guys know how the progress was going... I've got plenty of pix and i'll post them as soon as I get them uploaded.

Any thoughts/criticism/compliments are as always welcome.

yes you need to adjust latency for larger injectors, without doing so it assumes stock capacity and latenly. not sure if this would make it lean out or richen up by default but it sounds very unsafe. knock of 165 is pretty extreme, i get worried when i see 40+. best to as a bare minmum grab the powerfc manual and work out the new latency for your injectors and plug in the injector settings, that should stop things blowing up at least. then get to a tuner and check with a wideband to make sure its not leaning out.

forgive my noobishness... but could you explain how i can change the latency of the new injectors?

What would you suggest I do about the knock? Before this install the highest i've ever seen it go was 70... it usually doesn't hit above 20.

Any other insight you could share is worth its weight in gold.

thanks

the power fc runs sr20's lean as when you plug them in, they need to be tuned. we did the same mods to a mates 180sx, and it did the exact same thing. when we got it to the tuner, it was running lean as. after tuning, pulled 244rwkw.

go get it tuned asap.

cheers

does ANYONE know the lag time i need to set on the PFC with nismo550 injectors?????

also correct me if i'm wrong....

in order to figure out duty you take the original injector size/new injector size=duty?

for example: 370/550=.667=67% duty?

thanks guys

Yep,

370/550 = .67 so 67% - This is used for cold start's so the car starts and idle's etc, so you don't get a dump of 550cc injectors into you'r engine.

As for the MS this depends on what value's on the fuel map you wish to use, and how much duty cycle the injectors will run at. I'd start at 0.10ms - This wil richen it up a little.

As the other's said you really need a sniffer to measure the afr's.

As for the Knock: SETTINGS > IGN/INJ > and down arrow on the ignition will retart the ignition timing over the whole map, but this does not save to the power FC it will be reset after you switch the ignition off. Try pulling -5 deg and take it for a run if it still knock's then try - 10. then you will know how much ignition advance its got.... too much!

hope that helps,

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
