Rattle On Spool-up And Other Issues

A couple of months ago i had my local tuner install a microtech into my R34 gt-t as well as a greddy boost controller, bosh in tank fuel pump. I got him to throw boost up to 12 psi as well and had it tuned.

1. My tuner tells me that microtech don't make a harness for the r34 model but tells me he shouldn't have a problem hardwiring it. So i go along and he was able to do most of it but it looks like he's still got the standard ecu wired in for some of the auxillary functions.

Now everytime i get it back from a tune it's running rich and it seems to slowly get worse over time. Is this the two ecu's conflicting or is one of the sensors dodgy (already has a new 02 sensor and all the engine management crap is wired into the microtech). I have apexi turbo timer and looking at the a/f ratio it runs at 10.0 in idle (10 is the lowest it can read) and it never seems to break 12, rarely even gets up to 11 (flat to the floor or just cruising). WTF is going on??

2. Also, now every time my turbo spools up (2-3k rpm) i hear this faint rattling noise. Been for a road tune with my tuner and it doesn't apear to be a tuning problem. Anyone had any similar problems.

1. would hate to see how it looks on the wiring loom, having both ecu's

2. dont bother with the apexi pen turbo timer AFR, its using the stock narrowband sensor and its useless

3. it could be pinging/detonation or it could be compressor chipping/chopping

not detonation/pinging. Have changed the fuel maps and timing to see if it is pinging and there was no change so we have already ruled that out. I'm pretty sure it's a mechanical problem that's making the noise. I'll try and keep an ear out to see if it gets worse.

As for the running rich, the apexi wasn't the only indicator. The big give away was drowning people in black exhaust taking off at lights (not necessarily flooring it either). In idle it splutters and the exhaust smells of fuel badly. Another thing in low revs is if I'm cruising and want to accelerate i always get a large jerk out of the car, like it's had a massive misfire. Pretty sure it's just dumping fuel in without the air there (once again, no foot to floor, just touching it on).

I guess what i was really asking is if anyone thought the old ecu could be conflicting with the new one even thought it supposedly only has the auxillary functions hooked up to it.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
