Guilt-Toy

Monie's car passed with a power FC. now i dont know if it passed or if it was close to passing.. but my readings today where very close on everything except for nox which should be sorted out when i richen it up a bit.

yeah well while i was there i remembered that my charcol canister is only half hooked up and it could actually be the cause of the issue. so i got a few things to fix up before i go back on the 28th. Was thinking of trying the same tune but richening it up on cruise after 70ks an hour which is where i started to get high emissions OR i could get a new fuel pump and tune the car again from scratch.. dont know what i am going to do yet..

No.

what about putting gtr cams into a 25 head?

He also said that my car has some kind of vapor leak - and you can smell it too so i gotta get a smoke test done to fix that because in the room it was reading 23 where when there is no car in the room it should read 0 and a total new stock car reads 1 - 2 so something is leaking vapor somewhere

failed! but it was a good result for the first run - its not even twice over the limit for nox - nox was 3.45 which should be no more then 1.93 and the THC was 0.99 when the limit is 0.93 and CO was 2.4 where the limit was 9.3 So the engine is running too lean and its very close to passing. I am thinking about doing some more tweaks and give it another go or get my mates dad to tune it with his 5 gas sensor ohhh and my car gets 11.9 litres per hundred economy!!! thats pretty good for 400rwhp!

Closed loop on my car made the thing run rich as all hell!!! it was running into the 13's etc etc This is a good idea though if it does fail i will ask them for a run with closed loop on.

Found this on the gov emissions site. which basically says that the NOX level is increased which is what most skylines fail on. So i am going to run normal BP98 fuel or Synergy 8000 after i do more research on the 2 i will decide. Hydrocarbon emissions decreased as higher percentages of ethanol were added to the fuel: at 10% ethanol, HC emissions decreased by about 18%; at 20%, HC emissions decreased by about 22%; and at 40%, HC emissions decreased by 45%. CO emissions were consistently lowered as higher levels of ethanol were added to the fuel: at 10%, CO was reduced by about 18%; at 25%, CO was reduced by over 30%; and at 40%, CO was reduced by over 40%. NOx emissions increased substantially with ethanol volume: at 10%, the NOx emission increase was about 10%; at 20%, the NOx emission increase was about 14%; and at 40%, the NOx emission increase was about 20%.

autronic smalltronic yeah you gotta respect them ... but we aint running autronics so go jump I got a q45 in mine and i did a dyno run of 296rwkw and was on load value 17 on 20psi so i only had 3 to go myself.. but that 3 should give me another 50rwkw ??? correct me if i am wrong... even now running 15psi its on the same value or close to it....

its not that hard! i did my head without any issues.. but then again i got computer geek hands lol

Cheers Jerry.. Thanks for your advice its all sorted... and i decided im going to run the shell 100 because its the best of both worlds.. its got 100 octane and 5% ethenol. I really dont think there is much chance of passing but i need to start somewhere. So no one here has passed there modded skyline with intercooler / plenum / top mount and 700ish cc injectors with a power fc and gt35r before?

yeah man the only restriction would be the resolution of the 32 gtr AFM's if you upgrade them both to Z32's then there will be no difference.. if anything looking at your setup you got 2 x AFM's on the one 4" inlet on the turbo so your running at least 5" of flow for a 4" turbo or more

yeah you cant have the wideband input on the apexi stuff that i know of so if you own a decent wide band sensor system them it would be nice to have a look at the Datalogic stuff... How much are both systems going for these days ?

i would pay $250 for those plates. PM as im sure this is the best offer so far.

This is what i found about e10 Emissions outcomes for E10 In general, E10 can be expected to yield reductions in the following emissions: carbon monoxide (CO); exhaust hydrocarbons (HCs); particulates; oxides of nitrogen (NOx), (in some circumstances); greenhouse gases, depending on the ethanol production process; and known carcinogens, such as benzene. However, some increase in other known carcinogens, such as formaldehyde, can be expected.61 So it does decrease nox which is one emission they test for.. now to look on the site to see if they test for formaldehyde - whatever that is...

well the question for me now is should i use the optixmax 100octate fuel thats 5% ethenol or use this e10 blend stuff that is available thats 10% - the 10% will burn a better emission but its only 95 octate and i wont be able to run it as lean with the same amount of timing. What to do...

This is just the first step to see how much my car is out before changing anything to pass for engineers certificate. No defects or anything so im being pro-active instead of re-active atm

Boost leak for sure.. check the cooler it could even be cracked

any ideas what fuel to use Jerry ?

double check all the pipes and the intercooler for cracks Sounds like a boost leak and it could even be a cracked pipe or intercooler or lose clamp or even a hole in a hose joiner. does it sound like a vaccume cleaner thats blocked?

Does anyone know much about the tests that you get done at Botany or Penrith? Mine is booked in for Botany in the morning and I was wondering if leaning the PFC off heaps would make it better or worse... Anyone have a Idea? Would using different fuel make a difference? Should i use BP98 or Mobil Synergy or Optimax 100 or even the E10 fuel thats available? Has anyone passed this test with a Power FC with huge injectors and a topmount gt35r or something similar? Would be good to see how bad or close my car is before i go spending lots of money to get it right. I got stock cams and cam gears and just put a Xforce highflow 3" cat on it Any ideas welcome!

thats crazy man. take it back and get them to fix it properly otherwise you could destroy your engine

hey mate I have only used the Apexi version and i have found it to be good to get the job done but we allways wonder what some of those functions are in Japanese.. Would be nice to give the kiwi one a try... (have never been able to get the monitor function working on the software yet) Also you will find that 70% of the time serial devices dont work properly with usb to serial so you gotta test it out before you buy it or get a old laptop for tuning If it was me id get the apexi one because i know how to use it really well and its pretty easy to use as well

all of them do it.. depending on the clearance they run to the amount of noise they get

$800 for a injector upgrade is better then $1500 for a engine replacement and still having stock injectors
