Hey, I really Really need some help to get my car running well enough to get it to the tune shop!

My setup is RB20DET, HKS 2530, Power FC, RX7 460cc Red top injectors, Z32 AFM, Walbro 255HP Fuel pump! And the normal stuff, FM Intercooler, 3" Exhaust, HKS pod, HKS BOV!

What injectors % should i be running and air flow %???? Ive tried trimming the map down as it seems to be too rich! but still the idle is up and down and it just isnt right!

Could someone check on their car with a simpair setup! Any help would be much appreciated as my babys been off the road for 6 months now and finnally everythings modified ready to go now!

Thanks

- Luke!

choose z32 80mm afm in the airflow setting menu and leave at 100% air flow......u can pull abit out the injectors..... had my car running on 94% with gtr injectors to get it to the workshop....was running like a hairy goat. Other option is to use ur NRMA road service if you have and arragnge a tow truck......helped me out once or twice.

Let the tuner worry about the idle....thats what your paying him for.

Thanks for your reply, i have changed it to Z32 AFM, also the tuner is 4 hours drive away, so as you can imagine i wanna get the AF ratio as close as i can, so i dont foul up or melt plugs on the drive there, it wouldnt be fun changing the plugs on the side of the road...:rofl:

The PFC will be in closed loop at normal temperature idle, so if the idle speed is jumping around it's not the tune. Usual problem is vacuum leak. So triple check all of the hoses.

Getting a modified car to idle is sometimes harder than getting power out of it. After you have checked all of the connections I strongly suggest you forget about tuning the idle and move on . The PFC will also run closed loop for cruise, so it will get the A/F ratios OK for that. Check how it runs on light throttle, it may take a few minutes to learn. Thne a 4 hour drive should be a doddle, just don't do it in peak hour (leave home at 2 am) and don't get out of cruise mode (resist the temptation).

Hope that helps:cheers:

Thanks HEaps mate!!!!!!! ill give that a go, i was going to leave real early one morning! and take a mate and a set of spark plugs with me and of course the appropriate tools for the job!

Thanks RB power, ill try them at 65%

same set up except for Q45 AFM ... i run mine at 50%  

200Kw here they come !!  

good luck :D

Hey, Does that mean you have 460cc Rx7 injectors?

If so is there any chance you could check out what the injector % is set to? and the pulse rate of the injectors...thanks!

As far as i know S5 RX7 injectors are actually 550cc ... not 100% sure tho

and they are set at 50% duty.. now the column next to it is set at 0.00ms through all 6.

hope that helps

    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
