hey all,

as my previous post about plugs fouling etc, have LINK G4, no AFM's, -5's.... was trying to figure out why car running so bad till it warms up, hesitation/popping/backfiring

have figured out it starts backfiring only when making boost

any help would be great

cheers robbie

Mine does that as well, think i just need a bit of a better cold start tune though. Only happens for the first 5 minutes of driving anyway.

I have a haltech e11, and apparently they are hard to get the cold start perfect.

hey cheers for reply,

yeah apparently the cold start hasnt been set up on mine yet?

have been driving it around for last 3 months and has been sweet though, changed the plugs when they fouled and it worked mint, but then started running like crap about 50 km later, maybe running really rich and fouling when cold? i know my tune is set to run quite rich too?

back fire during warm up is due to it being lean.

Backfire is an explosion produced by a running internal combustion engine that occurs in the intake or exhaust system rather than inside the combustion chamber.

An explosion in the inlet manifold, carburetor/throttle body or air cleaner of an internal combustion engine will typically occur when the intake valves are not shut prior to fuel combustion.

The same term is used when unburned fuel or hydrocarbons are ignited somewhere in the exhaust system.

A visible flame may momentarily shoot out of the exhaust pipe.

Backfire in an automobile engine typically results from various malfunctions related to the air to fuel ratio.

Backfiring can occur in carbureted engines that are running lean where the air-fuel mixture has insufficient fuel and whenever the timing is too advanced.

As the engine runs leaner or if there is less time for the fuel to burn in the combustion chamber, there is a tendency for incomplete combustion.

The condition that causes this is a misfire.

The result of a misfire or incomplete combustion is that unburned fuel or flammable hydrocarbons are delivered to the exhaust manifold where it may ignite unpredictably.

Another backfire situation occurs when the engine is running rich (with excess fuel) and there is incomplete combustion during the Otto cycle, with similar results.

Just did some Wiki reading for ya!

So it can be common for Turbo Charged cars, in your case, your R32 GTR having Twin Turbos.

My car sometimes gives a few "Pops" and "Pongs" with my high flow cat and standard catback exhaust.

hey thanks for that

but when your car dosent almost get up a hill because of the backfiring when its cold when coming on boost seems to me a bit excessive, and considering it never did it before kinda frustrating aye :P

^^ Yeah no worries!

Whats your turbo set up?... -5?

How much boost you running? I assume higher then standard with the -5's

You got an aftermarket ECU?... No AFM, are you running an APexi De-jetro?

Upgraded Injectors?

What Spark Plugs you got? You got the right Gap measurement?

hey sorry 2860-5's, 15lbs low boost, 18 lbs high (about to go up to 22lbs) LINK G4, 770cc injectors, NGK 8mm gap

cheers

oh yeah, had the same problem before with standard turbos, power fc, AFM's, exhaust etc

both times car ran sweet, then as soon as i got it to queenstown where i live slowly started runnig like crap, fouling plugs?????????????????????????????????????????????

Ok...

Gee that's a fair bit of boost you running on low, just over 1 Bar and 1.2 Bar on high.

So LINK G4 is your ECU..? I am not familiar with that, just the standard ones and a few Japanese ones...

8mm gap... I can't remember what the standard gap is but I know that when you run high boost you need to gap the spark plugs wider... 8mm sounds wider than standard so should be ok...

770cc injectors!

Hows your fuel pump going? Standard or Aftermarket?

Have you dyno'd tuned your car?

no. when you run more boost generally you need to close down the spark gap. not make it wider. the standard gap is 1.1mm mate. and no 8mm will be out of this world. I think he means 0.8mm gap. no plug could give you an 8mm gap and no ignition system could give you a spark strong enough to jump that gap.

Ah ok smaller gap...

Thanks.

Yeah... Was just thinking that, 8mm is no way LOL!

0.8mm gap sounds right.

hey there,

yes sorry .8mm gap, and yes have a nismo pump, and yes has been dynoed, my mechanic fixed problen it was the cold start not set up (i live in queenstown and was going to Aus for winter so it didnt get set up) and use 98 octane too

00skyline00 it runs the new LINK G4, its a new zealand company, been around for a while, robbie ward runs them too

cheers for your guys help

robbie

ps. its going back on the dyno tomorrow, cranking boost up too bout 22lbs

will let you know result tomorrow...... :dry:

Yeah right!

LINK G4... Might just look into it for some info, thanks!

Good to hear you solved it. This was bit of a learning curve for me too. I wanted to find out and help you at the same time, but obviously it's a +1 for your mechanic. LOL!

Still good, now I know.

Yeah post dyno sheet up ASAP!

sweet as....yeah should be interesting to see how much power comes out of it, those -5's feel pretty lazy on 18lbs, cant wait to up the boost!

^^Lazy on 18 Psi... LOL!

That's high boost for you already, you want more?

Yeah why not..? Just up it that little more.

yeah is kinda funney aye, i probably would have gone for the smaller -7 turbo's, i miss the low down pull of even the standard turbo's, i didnt really know much about tunning GTR's when i started.

but yeah (cue input from nismoid :P ) i think these turbos are probably a little big street use, because you have to wind them up to get the rush aye, i think 20lbs would be perfect though, will let ya know though.............

Yeah I was thinking that 20 Psi would be nice.

When does the boost start to kick in? What RPM and when does it hit Full Boost?

BTW Dyno sheet please... :D

i think its on full boost at 4800RPM, on 18lbs, it was tuned for torque not big horsepower, its sitting on dyno at the mo. standard cams, but with cam gears

use the correction for water temp to richen the AFR's when the engine is cold (under 50 deg) and don't load the shit out of it when its cold (why would you?)

keep boost to a minimum when water temp is under 50deg (fairly obvious)

    • Thanks! Will get it looked at before winter 🥶 other than that she's a mint ride love it aye 
    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
