Rb20det running rich after injector swap

Hi guys pretty new to this forum need help with my 1990 HCR32 Skyline. So i bought this car it had RB20DE with auto tranny i swap the gearbox to manual than replaced the motor to RB20DET using the DE harness plus the injectors. It worked fine with stock boost of 5 psi. Than i installed a bigger turbo (to4e) the car car started to ping on boost above 7 psi i changed the ecu from a rb20det very little difference was made so i went on to change the injectors to 550cc (mostplus brand) now the car runs so rich and worse than before where it used to run with rb20de injectors. Can someone guide me on the next steps so that i can get to go up till 10 or 11 psi of boost and dolve the over fueling issue . Also the why is the idle so rough. The spark plugs are so covered with carbon deposits i guess thats due to running rich. Any suggestions??

so i'll just clarify

" The spark plugs are so covered with carbon deposits i guess thats due to running rich. Any suggestions?? "

you've put bigger injectors in, haven't done anything to adjust the tune, and now it's running rich?

as Trex said...probably wheel bearing, or Johnson rod.

Your car will never run properly as the ecu you are using is not tunable. You need either an aftermarket ecu or at least a Nistune chip. If you are feeling lucky you may find Nistune or someone else will put a tune on the chip that roughly matches your set-up although i think you will need at least a Z32 afm. I assume you have fitted an intercooler of some sort? Does someone like Max Sols in Suva have a dyno?

O.K
I will explain this

We are going to use some random injector values to make it easy

If your stock injectors are 250cc and at 3000rpm they are injecting at 50% of their maximum - 125cc injected
If you then put 500cc injectors in and dont change the tune to tell the ECU that there are bigger injectors in, guess what happens - 3000rpm you get 50% of the maximum - 250cc injected

It needs a tune

It needs alot of things by the sound of it

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
