I don't have a wideband yet but I will be getting an AEM Uego unit hopefully tomorrow if this guy answers his phone!

I'm close to the money on the settings as it seems, maybe ill give it +14ms and tune from there.

At the moment, I am not doing anything fancy, just sorting out the pops and splutters on idle and cruising, so ill be adding more fuel rather than pulling which should be safe to do without a wideband. I just listen to it and when the pops are gone I know I'm done lol.

Quite interesting this tuning stuff.

I wouldn't touch your injector settings till you have a wideband installed

I was just having a read around and from what Ive read it seems that injector settings are just a correction to compensate for the changed injectors, an easy fix so to speak. If you are going to tune the car from scratch, for example, after you init the power fc, could you use those standard settings of 100% 0ms to tune the car to the correct afr? Technically this should work as the car will be tuned around the injectors on that setting. I don't see it not working like this.

The correction is just the easy way out for when you have a tune and then don't want to retune because of injectors, just get the correct settings and bam. But if you start from a clean slate at 100% and fix setup the AFR's in the injector map, it should be fine. Right?

Unfortunately you can only go to a max of 1.5 and min of 0.5, so apologies but that idea goes right out the window.

Don't be lazy, correct your injectors.

Also, the map doesn't scale exactly how you're hoping.

Its not about being lazy really lol, I know the settings for my Nismo injectors 50 and 14ms but just wanted to ask as I read in a different thread that you can leave it at 100% 0ms and tune the car based on that.

This scaling shit is weird to me. There are many places which can affect scaling. Example, my % for my AFM aren't at 100%. Each voltage gets a lower %. At 0.64 its 100%, the next one is 96 next one 95 then eventually 85. I don't know why it is like this(They are all 100% by default) but that is how it got tuned for $800 so there must be a reason behind it.

Also I done an init on my ECU, let it self learn the idle(after setting the AFM and injectors settings) and it started and idled just fine. I went to copy my old map across and now it feels the same again. Weird shit.

I corrected my injector settings. Only thing that would have changed is the AFM voltage settings thing. All the boxes after the init were 100%, on my tune they taper down to 85%. I am using the settings which my car was tuned on, 52 10ms but I am aware that the nismo are 50 14 but as it was tuned, it how it will stay. Before I fiddle further I will do a compression test when my coils arrive and new plugs get dropped in.

Some tuners tune by afm correction obviously advan is one of them. If i did notice that i would have set to 100% and tune like i normally do.

I think u should start from an init and leave the afm at 100% and tune it

When the car is ready, I'll leave that up to you lol. I'm just tinkering with low tiny load and idle.

unfortunately your accel pulse, crank pulse and everything that requires accurate injector pulse timing will be up the creek, yes you could do it but every single fueling curve would need changing and it would still be behid the eight ball when finished. The PFC has a lot of areas that are non adjustable in the back ground which rely on the lag time and % correction to bring it back into check.

Tuning in the AFM percentage table is a sign of pure laziness, poor form unfortunately. I like the write my fuel map so that it accuratley resembles my target lamba / AFR i then re write the AFM table to get my results. This means its easy to make correction in the future as inputing the desired afr in the fuel table means you will get the same result out the tailpipe. Especially handy with fuel changes or a trip to the drags or a turbo swap etc.

Tao from hypergears fuel and afm curve is so close to being perfect we can swap between different size turbos and the tune requires only 1-2 pulls to be spot on the target AF in the fuel table. Timing is still a dynamic thing.

ahhh very interesting, that explains alot. I never really understood fully why the air flow curve was not a linear relationship, ie airflow to voltate. But now it makes a little more sense.

Trent, what is the best way to actually setup an airflow curve. do you set the fuel map to represent the target AFR first, then slowly tweak the corresponding Air flow load points. until the target afr matchs the actual afr?

What exactly do you mean when I write that. Do you mean that you initially leave your curve at 100% across the board then setup the injector table to reflect the afr you want. Meaning if you wanted the whole map to be stoich, 14.7, you would set that on the whole map then adjust the air flow to get 14.7 out the rear?

Bingo. Just make sure you do it smoothly, no big jumps that way all load points regardless of boost match your desired afr in the fuel table.

yes the table with percentages should always stay 100%, use the table below it to fine tune.

Exactly, but 14.7 would be difficult on a turbo car.

Yeah, just for example lol.

That is very interesting but it seems like a harder way to tune. It would be easier in my mind, or the mind of a novice, to leave those as standard and adjust the fuel injection as necessary across the load points.

Ive sent you a PM. I actually didn't it wouldn't let me...

Does any 1 want to share there Inj map so that I can have a quick gander at what they used as a target AFR's across the board?

Would I be correct in saying that every car would need a slightly different airflow curve?But for the most part the target afr or inj map would stay pretty much the same. For example my car is a neo RB3025 with a GT3576 and z32 AFM. it would have a different airflow requirements to a RB25 with a GT3576 and z32 AFM due to the extra capacity. But the fuel map would be quite similar.

I obviously did it the other way by using the standard airflow curve and tuning the inj map to compensate. So once I get the idea through my head of how it works, I might start slightly tweaking it via the airflow curve.

you would be suprised it actually is the same time wise and if you use the numbers enough (like evryday like we do) then you can nearly write the map without a dyno.

If I send you my tune can you have a look at it and if possible make any suitable adjustments? I am happy to $ for your work if you believe you can make a difference. It seems sloppy in the lower range. If you are able to, PM me.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
