HI Guys

some help here please

so I have rebuilt my rb26 from scratch, flowed and ported head with Tomei poncam type-b

so first install with rc750cc injectors and Mine's mafs brings no joy, idle is rough afr erratic, i can lean the afr out completly and it would still run rich

replaced the mafs with old mafs and old injectors still the same problem

the car came with bov's that vent to atmosphere I have disconnected them they are not leaking at all when disconnected

when driving the car it hesitates alot but when turbo's start making neutral pressure 0bar the AFR starts to lean out then when on boost its start riching up like You would expect and it feels pretty solid on boost with no issues

any suggestions

could the cams perhaps be out to overlap and cause an issue like this?

Thanks hope somebody can shed some light

are you using the same map loaded on your powerfc as before? i recommend, if you can...to do a data initialise (wipe) of your power fc and then reload your maps...then run through the startup procedure for the powerfc again. if you can't do this...i'd recommend taking it to a tuner that can.

I have initialized the apexi so with stock injectors and mafs you would expect it to idle like normal but no luck, its just beyond rich and adjusting the correction does not lean it out

I am thinking that the ovelap of the cams 35degrees is maybe losing some of the air in the chamber and causing the richness

but driving at low RPM is also horrid so much hesitation

if it's a fresh build perhaps cam timing is out? how big are the type b's? I thought they were pretty streetable AFAIK.

Also, not that it would matter in idle but you can't tell if the Bov's are leaking without pressure testing

I sparyed some quick start in the bovs while idling with no change in idle

paid so much attention to the timing when assembling the motor but will chack again

does anybody know what would be safe degrees to start off with when degreeing these cams could maybe close some of the overlap

cam specs below

You can calculate overlap here https://www.rbracing-rsr.com/camshaft.html

with these settings

Exhaust 260 degrees 65 BBDC 15 ATDC 115 degrees

check your o2 sensors.... They could be poked. unless you have o2 feedback turned off. either way if you are not able to tune it.. try getting it Tuned.

The cams wont cause the issues you are having, unless installed incorrectly.

I only recently installed type B's into my neo and it has been running fine with no change to the tune (havent had a chance to get on the dyno yet)

ok so Update

I checked cam timing according to true TDC everything is spot on

I did a compression test on the fresh motor couple of km's on it and it was super low 6bar 87psi cold, could be due to cams and not run in yet

I am at a loss here and I feel I want to burn this fekker :/

so when on idle now it would be on 12 afr but very rough as soon as i want to rev it up slowly it starts leaning out up to the point that it wants to die

when I leave the throttle it wants to die aswell then i need to sort of keep it alive, I am now getting a set of standard recirc bovs in hope that that can help but wont bet my life on it

Yes I do have bigger injectors

I have RC pl4-750d 750cc injectors, played alot with the settings and ended up on 59.2% and +0.24 lag time

this seems to work best, if anyone has used these injectors with apexi would you mind sharing your experience and settings please

try this:

  1. Reset PowerFC
  2. Set scaling in ball park
  3. Select correct AFMs
  4. Turn off O2 feedback
  5. Start/Rev car up to around 3000 rpm & hold (when warm)
  6. Adjust scaling till car hits stoich (roughly)
  7. let it idle, then adjust lag time till idle is stoich (roughly)
  8. tidy up map
  9. Enable O2 feedback
  10. Take to tuner

These are the Lag times i could find for the injectors.

Update

I think I resolved the issue here

did a silicone grease trick on the ignition coils

degreed cams a bit +2 intake -4 exhaust

installed stock bov's recirculation

now with the setting of 59.2 and 0.24 on the injectors it idles almost perfect 14.7

acceleration is also almost find just a bit of leanness when initial pushing of the throttle

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
