Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt


Recommended Posts

Overrun/overrev on downshift.

Also, and by the way, when you say "wedge" do you mean the ridge of high timing running along the top, or do you mean the little dip right at the end closest to the viewer?

that little dip in orange and yellow closest to viewer - just two values of 30 affect this.

Nope, had a play in Excel, those two values of 30 are a big jump from the adjacent LHS values of 40 & 43, making them say 38, 39 smooths it out, the tuner was probably eating his pizza and forgot that - but then again I doubt these two odd cells will do 'anything' to how it drives.

Saying that - what do you guys think of that purple 'hole' in my fuel map (mid rpms, low/mid load), is it dodgy or kinda ok? These are values from 84-94 on this area of the table

Fuel map looks fine. RB25 motors like less fuel around 50kPA when compared to near absolute or 0 kPA

Also around that area timing starts to decay when compared to higher vacuum areas.

It's normal man, you can't just look at the fuel map and go "oh mah gord deres a fuel hole"

Simply put it the motor isn't needing fuel around there to hit stoich.

Cool man I take up your offer of swapping afms in the weekend, but I think I will need it for at least a coupla hours to test in diff loads/conditions if thats ok? And also if u can come for a quick drive to monitor things who knows u find something I didnt. And James Squire will be there too so dont worry.

Datalogit kit is money wasted just to diagnose a problem/quote]

You won't do this but you will buy a new ECU? And the old ECU had data logging? And you don't like how the car drives and this issue has been happening for moths and you have spent countless hours trying to solve the issue?

Ok.

So eventually when you manage to log what's happening, and see that the ecu Is jumping cells, due to the afm being affected by the bov return, what are you going to do then? The afm can't be faulty only when lifting off the throttle.

The only two options here are shit tune or an issue with the bov return. The tuner is well respected, and it's pretty hard to do a shit tune on a power fc after I'm sure he has done 100s. So that leaves the bov return.

I am sure you mentioned this on page 2 of this thread....

well as I've said a few times already - I'm not too concerned with the power loss on shifts right now (its a MINOR issue and is most likely the bov return as others have said). What I am concerned about is where has my power gone the last 3-4 weeks without changing anything and the rich running (fouled plugs, fuel smell, fouled O2 sensor)/ fuel economy is my main problem that I'm trying to fix. We will see about the economy on my next fill-up as I changed the O2 sensor - but expect bugger all difference.

Which leaves AFM as suggested by some.

And tune? Well you've all seen my tune now haven't you, are you able to tell if its shit or not cos I have no idea

Reversion will cause the symptoms your are describing

Its hard to look at a tune map and know anything about it without seeing its effect on the motor

Your timing isn't to far out there, maybe a bit advanced at high rpm low load but nothing that is going to cause the issues you are describing

Disconnect your BOV from inlet pipe and vent to atmo and see if power lose is still there, that will either confirm or rule out reversion

Yep will do that cheers. Meanwhile figured out how to do a map trace. Still a noob u see .

See pics -1st one is a 10-12min cruise to shops, parra to granville in syd, traffic lights, stops max 50/60km/h NO boost.

2nd one is same drive back with three 2nd/3rd gear pulls at 21psi max. So does it look like its accessing the right cells or has it gone a bit gay?

Looks fine, however with logs with a wideband connected to it will easily show you what's going on.

It's hard to say what it is and not doing because the load axis is an interpretation of TPS and AFM voltage

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
