Tao are those two graphs up there your exact AFR's, what your wide band reads(I read that is how trent does his tuning, writes his table to target afrs then adjust af curve to meet this)?

My car is being really weird, sometimes it will idle at 14 othertimes I see it idling at 11.1. Can you get me a similar screen dump of a SS2 target afr, what afr you actually want to see come out the exhaust pipe.You run 9's in the top end, isn't that really really low of an afr? Surely it could be a little leaner...

What AFM you got? a GENUINE Bosch Z32? Mine was doing the same thing on my tune with a copy Z32..

Genuine Bosch Z32. It was fine until I fiddled with my intake pipe(don't anyone give me shit for this) but I don't see how it could have had that much effect on it. My car has always been rich on idle just sometimes feels richer than others. I haven't kept an eye on temps or any other corrections though...

How does it go at higher rpm? I'm assuming you have a wideband if you can see what it's doing? The target AFRs are just that, a target. The true value depends on things like k-constant (injector values) etc. My target AFR at idle on my fuel map is 14.7, but my true AFR is about 17.5.

So a screen dump of target values probably won't help much.

*EDIT* Sorry, just reread what you wrote and I think you're already aware of what I said :P

^ Indeed I am lol. How the f**k are you managing such a lean idle? My car lean pops anywhere close to 14... I do have a wideband uego. Ill take the car for a run next time I have access to a laptop and do some logging with afrs on a table. Should be interesting to see how well this wideband responds.

This is the timing and fuel map for the SS2 off my test car in April this year.

Pretty much all my afrs are between 11~11.5 range.

Also another SS3 prototype tested yesterday night. Made similar power as the G3 with slightly better response. It looks like my current setup has issues breaking the 330rwkws boundary, even so the SS3 has slight larger internals then the G3.

The G2/3/4 is available in universal form externally gated for $1000 , the SS2/3 can do for $1200. T3 .82 FNT rear, 5 bolt pattern externally gated.

G3/SS3/G4 all comes in .70 comp.

G2/SS2 comes in .60 comp.

The goal of SS3 is up to 350rwkws on 98 fuel with 20psi pre 4000RPMs. Its another step closer with probably another 10 miles to go. There are so much work and trailing getting just that 200RPMs of response through comp wheel fabrications. I'm trying to reach my goal by altering the turbocharger alone on a fair stock setup which is looking bit impossible at this stage, how ever I will list mods I've done as this project progresses.

What error codes?

Hey guys,

Finally got round to reading the error codes on my ECU; I'm posting them up on the NIStune forums but thought I might post them here as well in case anyone might know how to resolve them. So there's 4 codes that came up this time, I believe these are the ones that caused Sean a few problems:

[26] DTC BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR (Starts=5)

[33] DTC HEATED O2 SENSOR LHS (Starts=0)

[44] DTC ABC TCS COMM CIRCUIT (Starts=0)

[46] DTC THROTTLE MOTOR SENSOR (Starts=0)

Are those components fitted on to your car? The stock boost sensor? The O2 sensor? nfi what the others are. Maybe DTC means detect and its unable to detect those components? An easy way around is to find the resistance of said components and then get a resistor in there to fool the ECU into thinking those components are installed. Kind of like how people smash their cars and blow their air bags the fit a resistor in place to get rid of the air bag warning then sell it off as a normal car.

Could work, I'll query it to the NIStune guys...

I'm not sure if the stock boost sensor is still there, I never had the stock boost gauge installed on my car so the sensor may have been ditched. There is a Hitachi MAP sensor at the back of the engine bay utilizing the stock sensors location, but I'm not sure if that is the stock sensor or if that is my boost controllers sensor.

The O2 sensor is no longer there, it stopped working a long time ago and I tuned around it so when I got my wideband I decided to just plug up the stock bung and ditch it all together.

I'm assuming the other two codes are to do with the traction control which is no longer there. Again I'm not sure which components were removed or if they are still there and just not connected.

I just talked to my mate Brad, he had pretty much all the same codes. He is going to come on soon and tell you how to fix everything :)

Legend! Thanks mate thumbsup.gif

Hanaldo.

List what mods are doento this.

I take that the car was N/A to start with.

Does it have a turbo loom and ecu.

Let me know whats it has exactly and we can try and work it out.

Hypergear what happened to your electric charger? I'm curious if it made much power at all.

My idle is about 17:1 as well, and yeah it does pop quite a lot, but it still runs smooth, doesn't get hot or anything.

I thought I posted something a couple posts above regarding the electric turbo but looks like it didn't get through. Keen to see what happened with it or if the idea fell through.

Is the lean popping with such a lean idle a bad thing or does it not really have any negative effects on the car? If there is no real risk of damaging anything, I will lean out the idle. Shits me seeing it on 13's, sometimes even in 12's

So long as it isn't getting hot and you can deal with the bastard annoying pop that it Will be fine

Try to adjust afrs until the engine is pulling the most vacuum at idle

Means the engine is happiest

Same goes with timing

Just make sure both hot and cold start are still ok though

No real issue at all. It isn't like you use much fuel at idle anyway though.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
