Hey! I know I havent posted on here for a while but for those who still remember me :wub: I have news...

Over the past 4 weeks I (and James) have been a VERY busy bee!

As some of you know, I used to be the "R31 guy" along with Mark in the SAU ACT club and I used to drive a very tidy R31 silhouette with an R33 GTs-T RB25DET conversion (187rwkw on standard boost)... BUT times have changed!

I recently bought myself an R32 GTs-T (cos R32's rule) with basically no mods (dont worry though, the 31 is in good hands), anyway long story short - I wanted my RB25DET in place of the underpowered and boring RB20DET so we set about doing the swap...

The engines are in both cars and the exhaust's, tailshafts, crossmembers and wiring are almost all sorted out, once the 32 is running again I will be bolting and plugging in a few extra goodies (approx 260rwkw) - but that is another story for another time...

Well its almost done! Yay! It should only be another 2 weeks until I will be able to show it off again.

I will post pics up soon (I still need to edit them).

I will say one thing though... This is the last transplant I do because the 2 that I have done have both started fun but ended up becoming very stressfull, aggravating and expensive!

(Its all worth it in the end though) :P

Anywho - more updates and pics soon!

(Just thought you might want to hear about the progress Jayce :D)

You guessed right! For those that never got to see the R31 conversion,let me say that Bullet32 + JESTER will have done this job with a bunch of experience behind them from the last number! Suffice to say,I'll be expecting a top notch finish in the best body shape Nissan has to offer!

Here are a couple of pics, the first one is of the RB20 after we put it into the R31 and th second is of my R32 with no engine in it (Look how high it sits!!!)...

Im trying to find the rest of the pics so expect to see more as I come across them! :(

I also need to say a great BIG thankyou to Luke (Frink) and Mark (Bluprint) for their help with the conversion, we couldnt have done it this quickly or well without you guys :happy:

*** Still more pics to come ***

The above photo's lead me to suspect much tomfoolery was had,and the conversion may've been done in a quater of the time if not for said mucking around,LMAO!

Good job,lads! How handy are you at removing RB26DETT's?

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
