Well when I got the car I noticed that the wide band 02 sensor is all over the place. Say I take off reach 3rd gear cuisin at like 60 70 miles at dead zero boost or vacume. I can feel the car surging go stop go stop like the power is coming and going. Now on WOT it works fine.

First off I should mention that I have a power FC in the car and I have looked over the whole power fc FAQ. But the problems are a bit deeper than that.

I'm using a greedy y pipe with two new z32 maf meters, cause I was thinking that it could have been the afm after many hours of reading. Now I also changed the fuel pump and went with an in tank Tomie pump, with fuel rail and regulator. Alone with spitfire coils and HKS plugs heat range 7 I'm planning on running only 1.2 bars not alot at all for those AFM's. Ok lets say the car is started witch it does fine after revving it. The idle would drop to the point where it wants to cut off, and it would just go rich before it starts to lean it self out. I mean rich below the 10 mark and if I walk to the back of the car, all I can see is just smoke rich smoke. Some times it cuts off or it will level it self out until I rev it again, don't get m wrong it free revs fine just hard to drive like this and the rich smoke will kill me.

I should mention that I set the fuel pressure to 2.5 bars with the hose on and 3 bars with it off.

Another major thing I'm thinking of here is.

Well there are no filters on the afm's I got them but they just havant arrive as yet. Do you think that no filters in front of the afm,s would cause this problem.

I,m also thinking of doing a full reitnialize of the power fc.

Is there any thing to help with tuning this in the power fc that I may be over looking.

I plan on making a video later on on how the car is running and post it for all to try and help.

I'm stumped and just spent g,s on this set up just to fine it won't run even after a simple turbo mod.

I'm thinking it's something to do with the y pipe and afm's I even used back the stock ones and the same thing. I notice that one afm v is less than the other by just a little.

No not as jet but I need the dam thing to stay running, unfortunately, we have no tuners out here, well the dyno type.

I try with what I have. There must be some setting for throttle and injector setting so the injectors can stop firing once throttle is closed, I can remember seeing these setting in my haltech for my GTST. What weard mate is that I did a same mod to a GTST and the thing ran grate, drove off good just logged it and did what I could for the AFR's was for the ignition my hands are tied cause I will never be able to detect max torque but high know will be a sign, in forced induction applications. But I really do think I can work it out I just need a point in the right direction. I have a data logger I can log what ever you or anyone would need.

I thinking that I'm also royally screwed cause if it's bigger than me i really think I'm coming to the end of

all this car mod crap, and this gtr I'm sure is my last project I would hate to say in my situation, with all said no tuner I tend to do most of my own work, but man, I finding it easier to just work f--- cling hard and save my money. Or it may be easier just to learn how to be come a business owner and paypeople for the headache.

Well that it I'll hook up the data logger and learn more maybe the whole thing with me in it will burn to the ground

It looks like the mafia is on to something here atmo bov will stall and cause gear changes to be crap, alone with rich idle come guys, ideas on the solution to this problem.

Can I get a set of bov's that vent it back to the turbo. Where would I vent it back to. My greedy y pipe for my afm had a spot at the bottom for something like this but, when I got it, it was weld in closed.

It could be your gt35r pulling air through the afm's after you have come off the throttle. Because the turbo is so big and its roller bearing they tend to do this. I had the same problem with a gtst with a gt35r and z32 afm.

Easiest fix for a single afm is to put it on the pressure side of the intercooler piping, not sure about twin afm's though.

Mike.

You say your Z32afms have no filters - they could be duds - if you look around (Google?) you will find how to spot fake Z32 afms.

Where exactly are you? If you have a decent internet connection / mobile phone network Guilt Toy (on this forum) has done some successful remote tuning. Or I know a couple of tuners from here (NZ) who go to places like South Africa, Samoa etc to tune GTRs - I don't suppose you want to pay for a special trip but you may be able to take advantage of one of their planned trips.

you know after alot of reading, i got the shit to work good on stock injector. i'll kill one thing right now ATMO BOV's wont work, I vented them back in all was ok. well in short, after my tune it ran like this check the link the clutch was slipping too.

so for all that dont beleive that venting BOV's outside will work on a AFM set up, and i did get some duds, Z32afm they were crap. They have no part numbers on them and i paid only 79.95 for them, i guess you get what you pay for. lol

It will only work when i use my haltech PS2000 with Map setup, in short you must understand how nissan intended for it to work. ATMO works good with MAP sensor setup not AFM

thanks for all your help mate. I'm ten times the man now, lol still only got two balls tho.

    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
