Hi SAU, I need your help / suggestions...
Took my car to my tuner today to get my ignition timing advanced a few degrees, (road tune only) we found that my R34GTT leans out gradually after 5000rpms, sometimes around 4500 onwards, no matter how much fuel my tuner is adding, it still does this.. I have also noticed previously that it dosen't have any top end (its constant and smooth but not 'weld-me-to-my-seat'). That was with our previous tune. We then loaded the stock R34 maps and started from scratch and it still does this even with the stock maps.
As a matter of fact, we backed off and will be taking it to the dyno next week to check if the fuel pump, fuel reg is playing up? Now the pump is a new Walbro GS3442 that was installed and re-wired not more than a couple of months ago, it has a factory sock which has a bit of play where it meets the pump. The car has the usual FMIC, exhaust, 12psi (which holds constant from 2800 onwards), cold airbox, Nistune. So I will be driving in low rpms for now hehe..
Someone please throw in your suggestions as to what could be the cause of this?? ECU retarding timing in high rpms?? We detected no knock thank god, never did, even with previous tunes.. Fuel pump?? I hope not, its the newest item on my car, and it gave me a lot of noticeable power gain after the install, more than anything else.. Fuel reg?? what what..
