The richer mixtures at light loads is most likely to stop the car surging.  This is where a slow speed probe should be used to determine CO and NO to determine the real combustion process.  The higher the RPM the leaner you should be able to make it without surging.  You could try setting your target 14.4-14.7 and see if the car cops it, but you would probably want to do this on the dyno.  You could also enable the lean cruise function.  Talk to your tuner he should be able to guide you.

Spot on rob82!

This is exactly what happens with big cams. Have to find a happy medium

Yep how did you go?  Have you installed a O2 sensor?  Also what Autronic is it?  Those cams do sound rather larger, what is the actual duration (at 50 thou) as I'm guessing 280 is advertised duration?  What are the plans from better economy?

OK, here is the update.

I rang my tuner, benno.

Firstly my biggest problem is the cams at 280 in & Ex with 10.2 lift are way too big. He has explained this to me before thats why I was looking at other options. He seggested the Tomei Poncams 260 in & ex with 10.25 to replaced my cams. He has just finished a car with a similar turbo to my own which is a T04Z & it produced 400awkw. Mine is at the 412awkw mark atm so not too far off.

Secondly, no point in installing a O2 sensor as he can get better fuel consumption with this turned off & completly running in open loop. He has got be be a gun tuner for this, as I believe most tuners need closed loop to get good fuel economy.

I asked about the twin nossle injectors & they would help but only buy them if you were buying injectors anyway.

Makes more sense now.

BTW I'm running the Autronic SMC ver 1.92

My only problem is if I change my cams, I will need a re-tune. My tuner is in Melbourne and I'm up here in Sunny Queensland.....

Might need a few 20L jerry cans in the boot to make the trip hehehe

SK i think is mostly like right and your cams sound a bit big as i'm run a (combine turbos 640hp rating) where the t04z is what more like 800hp so i cant see why your gtr still wouldn't make that sort of hp with smaller cams (i'm run 260 9.15mm in/ex for 397rwkw)

can i ask what boost you run for the 417awkw?

and the lift of the cams?

cheers pete

I run 1.3 bar and just found out my cams lift is 10.2

The way the Autronic fuel injection works is based on VE efficency, so once you actually MAP the ve any non internal changes you make should theoretically make no difference, this is the beauty of the Austronic. This means you can run whatever boost and the fuel curve should look exactly the same.

The better fuel consumption running open loop may be a little detrimental to chamber temp thought. If his target AFR is say 14.7:1 for the points around cruise and the VE is slightly wrong you may be running a little leaner or richer either way is what you want to avoid. The o2 sensor trims both directions as in if it to lean it adds fuel and if it is to rich it takes out fuel. After all thats the reason why ever manufacturer in the world uses an o2 sensor opposed to just running opn loop.

It sounds to me that your not going to lose much power at all whats 10-15kw when you have 400 odd anyway. So its your best bet for better fuel economy.

Sounds like the Autronics dosen't do a bad job of things...

What the point of having big cams if you get similar power from smaller cams?

Well thats just it. Go the smaller cam - you might not lose any power at all but will most probably gain better fuel economy. As for the 1000cc injectors I forgot to mention that the bigger the injector the harder it is to control low pulse width fuel flow -as in idle and cruise. If your happy with the current power output a reduction in injector size will most likely result in huge economy gains probly even more so than changing cam size.

What size injector would do the job? Keeping in mind 400 odd awkw and not to run them at max duty cycle.

Anything good or bad about sard injectors?

Just asking as they are well priced but I prefer quality items.

For 640 engine horse power you need about a 800cc/min at 85% duty cycle. I'm assuming the current 1000cc injectors are top feed low impedance? Sard are generally consider pretty good we havn't had much trouble with them apart from 1 car. However I find the nismo items have a much better low duty cycle accuracy, however not sure 740cc will get you there it will be very close as the rate flow is always a little more than stated.

Has anyone found the limit of the 740cc/min nismo injectors?

Interesting stuff. I also have an Autronic SMC ( RB20) and was running standard single pintle GTR injectors.

These have now been swapped out for high imp bosch multi pintle injectors at same capacity and tuner noted he had a lot more precise control with them.

You would be assuming correctly - top feed low impedance type.

This is good!! What results did you obtain, eg more economy, better midrage power, better drivablity, etc.

This is the perfect before & after for injectors.

BTW what brand were they before ?

My arm is getting twisted towards the Sard's. Nice options from people in the know and nice price.

Might go the 800cc twin spray type, just in case I need the extra.

Unless this is bad.....

I was also thinking the Nismo items but couldn't find them at Greenline or Nengun in the 740cc range for the RB26.

Looked at the Power Enterprise ones but very expensive - Sard 800cc twin$645 verses the Power Enterprise 1000cc twin $1400

    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way 
    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP.
