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.

    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
    • It’s an rb25 so a gtst and I’ll get that valve
    • Thank you for this my turbo doesn’t have the nipple so I’ll get one installed in the turbo to Intercooler piping. I’ll get everything I need and locate it all using the information you both gave and get back with an update. 
    • Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this   
    • For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
