Guys,

Last night i accidentally played around with my turbo timer settings

I think i went into the A/F and 02 settings. This happen in the morning

Later that night i was driving home and noticed after 3000 rpm the engine wouldn’t respond and boost wouldn’t kick, after half a second later it responds and the car jumps also i get a pop noise from my exhaust....

im not a expert but i think i stuffed it up by playing around with the settings or

because of the mods ive been doing i need a new flue pump or my air filter is clogged

Does anyone here know how to return a apexi turbo timer to default settings?

And up to how much kws does a stock fuel pump support? (r33 gts-t s11)

Any feed back would be greatly appreciated

Thanks babylon

It probably isn't the turbo timer (Apexi Auto Timer?) The (predicted) A/F and 02 values are just metered and you can't change anything related to the actual settings of the car.

But looks like your ECU 'limp home' mode has been activated.. it sets rev limit at around 2500rpm and runs rich to protect the engine against damage. Check your ECU diagnostics and clean your AFM.

Stock GTST pump is good for around 200kw at the wheels. I didn't have any issues at that power with my standard fuel pump, but I decided to upgrade it to a Bosch 044 anyway, just to err on the safe side of caution.

Thanks for the reply

sorry to be a pest but how the hell do i check my "ECU diagnostics"?

First step is to find the ECU and start your car. Look at the side of the ECU and see if there is a LED that is red. That will indicate the car is in limp mode.

If so then do the diagnostics.. which you should be able to search for!

Found my ECU its under the passengers seat , started my car looked under and didn’t see any red LED, only saw cables.

I changed my air filter back to the stock one unplugged my AFM plug then plugged it back in Rebooted my ECU by taking the negative off my battery drained the juice out of the car ...put it back on then went to drive the car same thing after 2500rpm the car jumps and does rev higher!

Today im going to get a new Fuel Filter and some electrical Contact Cleaner.. (hopefully works)

Im having a difficulty looking for forums or tutorials on ECU diagnostics

    • Is anyone running these axles? R32, R33, R34 GTR front Axles. shafts itself rated 950hp. Suit all RB26 engines Croydon, Melbourne, Victoria Would be nice to pay half the cost of Driveshaft Shop Axles. I'm building an AWD S13 Coupe that is very low ride height (high cv angle) compared to stock R32. Has an RB30 with appx 600whp. Just looking for feedback. Thanks, Josh- https://www.instagram.com/feng_shui_garage/
    • Been a long time since r31 got some love, my brother dropped a shitbox ls1 crapadore in my lap to fix up.  Put a wiper motor in as the flooded one was no longer alive.  got windscreen wipers now. Time to clean respray and install back in the titanic  IMG_0505.mov
    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)
