As the title suggests, my catalyzer light came on today when I did a small pull, hitting around 5500 RPM, barely hitting boost. I run an Apexi PowerFC with 2860 -5s. I don’t have a catalytic converter. My car is straight piped and the sensor isn’t even plugged in to anything. I assume it could be a tune issue, as my Inj Duty hit 91% and I know it’s supposed to be at tuned to 80%, and it is. But I honestly don’t know much. I’ve seen other posts saying it could be that the MAFs are maxing out. I only run 1.3 bar of boost, or roughly 17psi. I’m stumped. Does anybody know?

The PFC uses the cat overtemp light to flash when it detects knock, so there is an issue with your tune in that area. 

Injector duty at 91% is not really a problem on it's own, in theory even up to 100% is OK but if it ever calculated that it need 101% or more it will be leaner than planned and engine damage is highly likely, so staying under 90% is safer.

In this case it is more likely you had too much timing at that point in the map for your engine. 

Don't rely on 30 year old electronics to detect knock and help you tune. Your tuner needs proper knock detection and tracing of the map to work out where it occurs, to correct that part of the map.

Also, if the tuner tells you that the injector duty cycle shouldn't need to exceed 80%, and it is hitting 90%, then it could suggest a fuel supply problem. Dying pump, dirty filter, dirty injector(s), etc etc.

Don't drive it hard until you've had it diagnosed.

    • I think you're missing the point here Duncan, I was trying to say that if you want to go fast around and have a spare $80K to $100K, easiest option is to just buy another car instead of modding your Skyline. Sure blowing $80k to $100K would make it fast, but then you'll have a car that you can't drive on the street comfortably. But use that $80k, buy a fast factory car, spend like $7K on AliExpress pipes, email tune, tyres, pads and you can be fast, not to mention now you have two cars.
    • You're 20 years too late mate. Used to be 80% skylines back in team trackday days
    • There's a lot of drug money on that side of Sydney. Just sayin'.
    • At SMSP, I mainly see Hondas, M cars, A90 Supras and of course, plenty of Evos. Have not seen a single R32 ro R34 Skyline on the night sessions that I've been to. That's really saying something.
    • I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎
