Im booked into get my car tuned next thursday, since the pwr fc was tuned last, i added a gtx3076, cams, 550nismos, 4inch intake, bigger dump, and Z32

It was booked in to be tuned a week ago and timing and basic stuff checked and although was running rough but drivable, just. i ended up missing the dyno cause it took longer than expected to get it ready.

ok so the problem is silly me started playing with the computer, i hit yes to initialize and now everything has reset to stock.

So i either copy someone elses fuel and ignition map and try to limp there or just tow it , rather not tow it so can anyone scan a few maps so i can try , cause at moment it starts and is showing engine light.

as long as its not leaning out and runs on light throttle that will save $$ on towing it.

i have it set on VG30 and had the injection correction between .7 and 1.2 and it is just shaking, as soon as i touch the throttle to reverse it just stalls or wants to , no power, it has no ms data, so ill try the .18ms

is that what your pwr fc has? what about the maps and ignition they all just say 100 across all boxes, should this come up accross like 100 100 105 110 115 etc? just want some numbers for low revs and idle

Your in the wrong menu.

Initialize it again to undo everything you've done. Select VG30. Go into the Injector menu (not Ign/Inj) and set the first column to 66.5% and the second to .18. You shouldn't need to touch the main maps for simply limping it there. Also make sure the boost control kit is turned off if your not using it, from memory it's on by deault.

hmm ok then ill try that and see if it wants to run,

what about the check engine light? its on all the time, maybe it will go out when i select 66.5% and .18

What can i do to ensure its not running too lean, i take it those stock maps will be making it safe along with the above adjustments?

when you INIT the powerfc you need to do the self idle adjust, if you dont it will instantly stall when you tap the throttle

my advice

read the PFC FAQ (in my sig) about DATA INIT

1. perform DATA INIT

2. dont start the car

3. set AFM

4. set injectors

5. turn off boost kit

6. start the car

7. let it idle for 30 minutes as per self idle adjust

8. baby car to tuners and away you go

if you skip the self idle adjust you get a car that stalls instantrly in most cases

if you dont turn off the boost kit and you arent using the boost kit the check engine light stays on because it cant find the map sensor. the boost kit is on by deault when you DATA INIT the PFC

thanks for that info, i tried it out just tonight 66.5% and 0.18ms and its not working, i have no idea whats doing here, it ran smooth for a short while and sounded sweet under a rev but then started breaking down like a wrx sound, shitload of fuel came out the tail pipe, i noticed as i locked up car.

what about accel inj time, does that need changed? i can see 1000rpm 2.4ms 0.6ms

2000rpm 3.4ms 1.1ms

i think i might have to just tow it on a trailer, it was starting to make like a light knock noise as it was wanting to stall, cant be good

Shouldn't need to change anything other than what's been mentioned already. What do the plugs look like? All this fiddling could have fouled them up pretty badly. It sounds like you might be best off getting it towed, if you do just make sure you take a spare set of plugs with you incase the current ones are no good.

I'm curious why everything has been addressed except for the cams, you can't run bigger cams on a basemap and expect it to idle.

Personally I would put the stock afm and injectors back in, modify basemap and confirm its running (with the cams), add the 550cc injectors, modify basemap again, then finally the z32 afm and finish off the basemap

well there just poncams, most people say they wont affect idle at all, it was running ok before the cams , its more the z32 that made it run worse, constantly stalling , i think its time to put it on a trailer, i dont wanna stuff it up anymore.. :unsure:

Going to put some NGK platnium plugs in today and new throttle gasket and regasket the blow off valve just incase. Was going to put on cam gear but might wait and see what happens, anything over 280kw will be good.

this. assuming you have a rb25 the injector settings will be 66.5% and +.18ms and the afm is VG30

Dropped the car at the tuner today, you were spot on, the problem was wet plugs, must of been from the first few attempts starting it,

he ran it lean to clean them up and it came good, then i drove it to get fuel, already feels great even without the tune, just waiting for the dyno now :)

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
