Howdy, just wondering about peoples opinions on this dyno chart. Are the a/f ratios too lean??

its an R32/rb20det/goodies:

(HKS 2530/gtrpump/sard 550cc inj/microtech/cams/camgears/3"full zorst/etc)

Thing is, it was tuned at place "x" and place "y" said its too lean to drive at full throttle. PI$$ed off because i have spent money already tuning, and i shouldnt have to spend more!

what does your injector duty show on full load (near where it leans out on the dyno?) if its normal ie: not near 100% then it could be fuel rail / fuel regulator being the bottleneck in your fuel system

not sure, "x" should be able to tell you. it sounds like you need a higher pressure regulator to have more fuel in the fuel line. sounds like on wot throttle the injectors aren't maxing out but the fuel line can't maintain enough pressure and keep it full of fuel so it leans out, at least thats how my understanding of the fuel pressure regulator is? someone else should be able to confirm. im pretty sure you can get higher rated nimo ones which are a direct fit

From what my tuner has said to me it might be ok, does it ping up high?

Ive been told that you have to really put the fuel in on the torque curve cause thats the most likely time pinning will occur then you can lean it off a bit up high. Im not sure if its to lean but just talk with your tuner some more about it.

it doesnt ping at all. yer the tuner said they could remap it for $660 from scratch, including cold start etc, but they didnt speak very highly of microtechs, and basically convinced me to try and get hold of a power fc and Z32 afm... so i might just leave it for a couple of months til i can find one, then go from there....

Is the original harness there? Paulr33 - microtechs dont and will probably never use an afm. It looks to me as though there might not be enough DC the first thing I would try is to increase the injector pulsewidth. The standard FPR will do the job fine. If it is still leaning out chances are its the pump. At 60% DC your using about 2.2l/min of fuel. For around 220rwkw you would want at least 3l/min at 3bar.

Have you had the car on 'y's dyno?

It may be that 'x's o2 sensor requires calibration and is a little out, hence reading lean when it is actually rich.

Before you do anything I would throw it on a different dyno for a power run to see if their dyno also shows its too lean.

Personally I don't think it has fuel pressure or flow problem. It goes richer at around 170 kph. If it had a fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump problem it would continue to get leaner. It looks to me like it has been deliberately tuned that way.

As others have posted, go back to the original tuner and talk to him about it. Tell him the readings and your concerns and give him the chance to respond.

:) cheers ;)

its not that a power fc would fix the problem, i think the microtech just needs a remap, its just that the microtech is pretty inferior to the power fc in ways of fuel economy.... its what you need nowadays.

i guess i could go back to place "x" but i am generally unhappy with the result of 200kw @ 17psi, poor economy, & bad cold start tuning. This is the reason for getting place "y" to have a look at the car, give it a run on the dyno and tell me their thoughts.

all well, thanks for the responses ppl, ill let time figure out what im gonna do... its gonna sit in the shed over the silly season anyway, there are cops everywhere this time of year!

it seems black is the new white, and imports are the new copbait

hey mate where are u from? can u PM me the name of the dodgy tuner if u r in Perth, cause ive had a few issues too with lean AFR's.

cheers

Where was that tuned?

I'm sure Shaun @ Boostworx would get the Microtech running sweet, he knows them backwards, look at Freebaggins R33, 300+rwkw out of that, with a Microtech

Looks very lean too me, might pay even to take it somewhere else and do a run and see what AFR's it has on another dyno, could be the calibration of the O2 sensor is a bit of?

Looks like its running some decent timing, making 200+rwkw, so if i was detonating, Im sure you'd know about it

i know it sounds gay but im not gonna say where it was simply because Adelaide is too small... i dont know anyone on here, and i dont know who could potentially have a read. A lot of the time people will generalise from one persons bad experience and then the chinese whispers start....

but yer, i have heard that Shaun @ boostworx is good and reasonably priced. It may pay to just get the microtech tuned! still havent heard of testimonys of good experiences with microtech on something that isnt a rotary.... ooooo i said rotary....stoopid lawn mowers

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
