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

    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
    • @Duncan Random side note, did the cops give you the driver/owners details of the taxi and then did Shannons give you a refund of the excess once you supplied those details?
    • Yeah to be clear I'm not naive, I'm sure all insurance companies are a bunch of arseholes who pay people bonusses based on the value of genuine claims they avoid....I just don't want to go back to one that has personally f**ked me multiple times in the past
