hi guys,

i got my car tuned today, its a r34 gtt with stock injectors. I am running a hi flow turbo with a gt30 rear housing and sweet wheels. I got 270rwhp at 13.5psi. my tuner told me the reason i couldnt get more is that my injectors are at 97% duty cycle. I was sure there are people running more power with stock injectors. can anyone confirm?

Thanks

Terence

An adjustable fuel pressure reg can give you a bit more out of stock injectors.

Hope that helps :banana:

im going to upgrade the injectors, but i was wondering if it is normal for this power with the stock fuel system.

attached is the dyno graph. i feel the end of the power curve is abit dodgy, so maybe its time to do the fuel system

Thats about spot on without f**king around with fuel pressure, I've seen around 300hp but it's all about the same with different conditions and dyno's, especially if you are running the stock afm. Also, stockers are not huge been rated to 440 or 450cc. Curves pretty normal, if it was scaled out the line would appear much straighter, also Andy is pretty mint when it comes to tuning at Hypers so I would not be concerned.

yea i trust andy too monga which is why i go back to get the work done...still looks like plenty more power to come from the turbo. still got the stock afm..will start collecting parts and do everything at once...at least the hard part is done and paid for.

I reckon your fuel pump is dying and that's why you're running out of fuel up top..

I'm running 15psi through my highflow, my duty cycle doesn't go over 90% and that's still rich as hell, no idea what power it is making though, somewhere around 300rwhp at a guess.

Will be ripping the Haltech out real soon and fitting the NIStune board I have sitting here, will have a better idea then.

P.S. +1 for Andrew :ninja:

Everything I've seen in regards to Neos is that stock injectors should be good for ~240wkw.. I'd like to go as far as I can without changing injectors (rather spend those $_$ on the 32).

I've maxed the stock afm already and have wired in a z32 ready for the ECU swap.

But yeah, do the fuel pump at the same time as the afm and injectors then go back for a tune :P

What ECU are you using?

Im using a Power FC

thanks bubba for that.

andrew told me my pump is still good :S

ive got a bosch 040 that ill do soon. he said should see 350 when fuel is sorted out

Easy way to tell if its failing, fit a fuel pressure gauge just before the rail and watch it when on the dyno. If the pressure drops off at high rpm there is an issue.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
