R33 Rb25Det Running Rich On Idle

Hi All,

So recently I've connected up an wideband O2 with narrowband simulation (Innovate MTX-L). I'm currently using the narrowband output from the wideband and connected to the factory ECU deleting the existing factory narrowband sensor.

To my surprise, the motor isn't idling at stoich which is strange it averages around 12.7 A/F when warm.

There are no vacuum leaks, no vented catch cans or anything as such, and I believe the coolant temp sensor is working because when it's disconnected the car won't start.

No real biggie, as I will be getting a standalone soon enough, but just curious on why the factory ECU runs so damn rich on idle? On full song at 0.7bar it drops to 10.5 A/F which is expected of a stock ECU.

This is the first time I've put a wideband to analyse A/F on a factory ECU, so I'm curious to see if that's correct? I always thought it should be idling on stoich, and even on light throttle/cruise the A/Fs are averaging at 13.3.

I might try cleaning the AFM this weekend and see if that makes any difference (I highly doubt it).

Any other ideas?

are you getting these figures when the engine is cold or warm?

After a nice drive, thermostat is fully opened idle is at 650 rpm, I get about 12.7 A/F. On a cold start up I'm getting about 11.4 A/F. Like mentioned before, I'm not too concerned about it as I will be getting a new ECU soon enough.

Just more of a curious thing.

I can remember mine running rich with a stock ecu, used to puff out a little black smoke just reversing but was never a problem.

My guess is that the ecu isn't reading the narrowband output correctly (either the wideband isn't outputting the right voltage, or it isn't wired up properly) so it's just reverting to the standard mapping.

I'll try and disconnect the narrowband simulation to the ECU and see what it does. My original O2 was dead and was disconnected a few days after I bought the car due to idle hunts.

Instead of replacing a stock O2, I decided to for a wideband with narrowband simulation because I'm going to get a full standalone soon enough.

I'll try and recal the O2 too and see what's going on and also borrow my mate's handheld Innovate wideband and see what's going on.

Oh yeah and the sensor is mounted just before the Cat

Just for you Jonnie xxxooo

the wavy green is the o2 doing it thing, the spike is decal fuel cut.

Notice the lag between throttle V+ and RPM and LAFR, well that how long it takes for my Tech Edge to log what my foot is doing ;)

that lag time isn't too bad!

anyways, just something interesting, took my car on the track yesterday and the consumption was hideous!! :yucky:

84kms per 25L

flat foot down the straight on wakefield and she was 10.1 A/F

On another note, I did an ECU error code check, got error 13 = water temp sensor..

explains why it's overly rich!

Had a feeling the temp sensor was reading incorrectly, 10:1 is fairly normal for the top right corner of the stock fuel map. I've started slowly taking fuel out of mine there, and it's still in the 10.xx:1 range. Put my new 440CC EV14 injectors in tomorrow so I expect my economy will be shite for a couple of week while I attempt a home tune.

Haha too easy, injectors in rough tune done, made it home ok, beer O'clock time :)

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.

      Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!
