the stock afm will run out at decent power levels. for 300rwkw get a VG30 its sufficent for those poser levels and fits on quite easily as aposed ot the q45.

They max out before 300rwkw though, but that doesn't mean you can't make more power; you simply tune it as one would a map based ecu.

Have you tried playing with the cold start enrichment?

I haven't played with the computer at all, but the last guy that tuned it made it a bit better but it's still pretty bad. I've also been told that it wasn't getting enough voltage. I have sinced changed the alternator and it's now getting around 13.3V

Is this alright? Or should I be getting more??

when the cars running should be on 13.8-14.2 volts

What can I do to fix this???

I had a friend who fitted a haltech to a sr20 silvia and it wouldn't idle either - it had 800cc or 850cc sards in it and in the end they ended up putting smaller injectors as no-one could get it to idle nicely. I'll ask him how it's going now.

Cheers

I used to get mixed reactions from the people at EFI Technology when they were at Tarren Point . They were not at all keen on propper sequential injector control because it needs good injectors (if they're big)and I think their computers (at the time) were running out of drivers to run six coils and six injectors individually . The prototype E10 and production E11 series got around this but I think they still don't support mass air load sensing . One day the aftermarket ECU producers will and when this happens EFI Tech may even discover atmospheric pressure at sea level is not zero and below this a "negative pressure" .

Anyhow back to your cold start problem , I'd have a look at your injection timing (if its sequential) and also cold start ignition timing . I found with my FJ20 that you can back off the cold steady state enrichmend fairly soon and virtually lose it by 40-45 deg coolant temp . A bit of extra acceleration injection compensation helps here to . If I get a chance later I'll arc up the lap top and see what I did with ignition timing in the cold start/run phase . What ever it was I got it to crank/start/run by just turning the key , that engine had no idle air motor just the cold start heated air bypass valve .

Cheers .

My choice of ECU...

Adaptronic.

Will be running mine very soon, and taken to Jason's for tuning.

It's Map sensor based, and at a RRP of $1000, very affordable.

Boost control, etc.

Runs basically everything.

Will see what mine makes once all tuned up, then be throwing on injectors, turbo, and fuel pump...

Stock engine, easily make 300RWKW reliably.

But remember, reliability is all in how you drive it also, Jason drove the doors off of his for 10 months straight. and then it went.

The only other type of car that would be driven that hard, would be something like a proper race car, IMO anyway.

Adaptronic is a great ecu, i used to work for the distributor, and fitted/tuned quite a few, IMO you cannot beat its value for money. Oh, it can also be hooked up to an air flow meter. Andy(the owner) just doesn't have to time to market them properly, he's so flat out building them.

Wow. That Adaptronic looks very interesting.

Looks like a pretty decent option for the price. Certainly tested on many vehicles with plenty of info. I like the amount of info you can find on their site.

Good choice for a skyline as it has six ignition drivers, where as most other brands like EMS and microtech, you have to pay extra for the ECU that will best run a 6cyl vehicle.

Don't think its cheap enough to compete on the 4cyl front tho, as 4cyl ECU's such as Microtech's LT10 can be had cheaper once u include loom and ignition module.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
