just finished final tuning on my mates rebuilt GTR

no real problems as such, but just a minor concern that we'd like some opinions on.

when under full throttle the acceleration doesn't seem smooth, and the engine seems to be leaning out too much, rather than running richer, as it apparently should be. this is especially up to about 3500rpm (no, its not lag), then another somewhat flat spot between 4200 - 4600rpm.

we can up the fuel with the haltech (in those areas, and others if we need to), but obviously, its using 30-40% more fuel than it should be by doing this (depending on how much it is increased).

Now, the tuner thinks this may have something to do with the injectors being slightly lazy (we sourced them from a user that had them in his 34 GTR, were 1000km old - flow fine - def not broken or anything). I know standard 34GTR injectors are different than standard 32GTR injectors, but aren't aftermarket nismo injectors universal??

Or, it may be because the haltech is being used with the standard wiring loom, and not the full haltech loom.

Now I am not a technician or mechanic myself, so I am trying to relay this message as accurately and completely as possible, to see if anyone has had similar problems.

I'll try my best to answer any questions you may have to help...

Any constructive opinions are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Beau

What makes the R34 GTR standard injectors different to the R32 GTR injectors apart from their body being silver rather than the 32's black?

I had mine flow tested. 40psi 480cc; which is what they should be according to tomei.

Off the top of my head tomei had the gtr injectors down as...

36.5psi - 444cc

40psi - 480cc

46psi - 520cc

Topaz... thanks mate... that info may help a bit... I was sure that they were simply RB26 specific, not different throughout the models!

cubes... apparently the 34GTR injectors are shorter than the 32GTR ones....

My 34 GTR injectors were identical in height and looks *apart from colour* to my Rb20DET injectors.

This was from the Tuner's mouth.. that they are different in height... I cannot confirm it myself.

Did the tuner have a fuel pressure gauge on the car whilst on the dyno, to check fuel pressure under load?

yes, they tested the fuel pressure at multiple places from tank to the injectors... no apparent problems/changes.

hrmm. haltec. similar problems ive heard of. just like my autronic. ps.. is it tuned throttle/map or just map?

obviously the maps can be and I believe are somewhat customised... not 100% sure on the details... I do remember him saying the haltechs are very similar to the autronics in the way they have to be tuned... especially compared to say the power fc that already has base maps to start from.

Haltech's and autronic are completely different ecu and are tuned in a completely different manner. Not sure if the haltech can be throttle/pressure mapped but it does sound like this could be an issue. Does the tuner have a good reputation?

Fuel pressure

Timing

Spark plugs

A/F

Things to pay real big attention to !!!

Hmmm... I must have misheard him... I'm sure he mentioned autronic in there somewhere....

I will see what he says about the throttle/pressure mapping.

compared to the tuner that originally had his hands on it, these guys seem to have a good rep.... no bad stories I've heard anyway. (then again, I'm sure all places have good and bad stories)

Spark plugs

A/F

I know he tested diff plugs, tried splitfire coils, checked and dbl checked fuel pressure all along the system.

Can't remember what he said about timing.

Its air flow is read thru map sensor, so not sure how this would affect A/F ratios etc

Thanks for everyones help so far!!

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
