Hey,

My brother has just put a bigger turbo, bigger injectors and a Z32 AFM on his R33 Gts-t. I think the turbo is GT35 size, not sure of the brand. The car hasn't been tuned and the ecu is a Power FC. He was thinking of driving it around tomorrow.... Im thinking that this would be a super bad idea and can damage the engine? So I was wondering if he could drive it at all? Could he drive it if he didnt hit boost?

Will it be ok to drive around at low revs, or will it Tick Tick BOOM!

Thanks :thumbsup:

As if he's gonna drive it around without hitting boost! And if it isnt tuned for the AFM then he will be lucky to get out of the driveway. But its up to him. It will be a cool story for you to tell us when he blows his engine anyway! look forward to it !

+1 for won't start.

Great choice... GT35 on a stock RB25... Its going to go tick tick boom anyway.

Good luck.

Another guy on here running a GT35 on an unopened motor, 25psi 475rwhp, 3 years. All depends on your driving. As a daily driver it will last.

To OP, as others have said, it won't start with those injectors. AFM you can get it working in the PFC, same as injectors if you know how to set them. It will be driveable to get to a tuner. I drove my car with my Z32 and SS2 turbo to the tuner then had them fit the injectors in.

A while ago I had a tune on my power FC for 200rwkw (stock injectors, stock turbo). A year later I had 740cc injectors put in, along with a high flow turbo. I then tried to drive it un-tuned to the tuners. It was running like crap, black smoke was pouring out, it was spluttering and I couldn't go over 30km, it made it less then 1km before the car completely died. Flooded the engine, had to get a tow..

Not worth it.

      @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.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
