Not sure at the moment, when i cold started the car in the video the oil pressure was 800KPA = 115 psi (gauge was maxed out). I know i am getting oil pressure but it maybe too high due to GTE oil pump with no piston oil squirters, so i may have to run a thinner oil.

Ill have to wait and see when I can actually run the car for a few mins and let it warm up, to see if the pressure reduces.
When i get the turbo and waste gates, I will mess around with the fuel table and pull some fuel as it's super rich.
I will then check the timing and match it to the ecu and then drain the oil just in-case it gets some fuel is in it from being too rich.
Then it's time for break-in oil and bleeding the coolant system!

 

Wide band gauge installed.

I have completed the car except for power steering low pressure lines and waiting for the turbo/gates.
Nothing left I can do until the parts arrive.

I am so close to being finish the swap I am getting really excited about it.

 

rear wastegate installed

Also having an issue with my harness everything works except rpm gauge, talking with wiring specialties about it.

Wiring specialties believes it's the Dakota box

 

So my plan is to get the car tuned in the next 2 to 3 weeks.

I should have the turbo and wastegate tomorrow

 

Forgive my ignorance - what's a Dakota box?

looking forward to the tune!

 

It's the box wiring specialties sends with the harness to make the dash work with the ecu

 

So the cars pretty much assembled / finished the swap, I had another set back - the wiring specialties box is not working correctly. The tach is not working the coolant gauge is not working and the fans are not coming on when the temp is about 88C. When i manually turn the fans on it stumbles the engine a bit, so ideally I would like the fans to work correctly as when they come on it can change the air fuel ratio of the tune etc....

I also learned how to weld with a mig welder, made the power steering fitting myself













I made this power steering fitting my friend bought a mig welder.

 

Here's a youtube video of it running - was bleeding coolant and powersteering / making adjustments to fuel pressure and idle screw's etc..

 

why would the fans kicking-on (added engine load) alter the AFR?

Check in the Link that the fans are set to come on at 88degrees C? If they were set higher than may be waiting for the engine temp to hit that specific mark. You should have a comp-table to add fuel when the fans are on within the Link to compensate for the additional load. I can look at my setup to find this if you cannot.

Good progress and very nice pics!

 

The fans are controlled by the CAN module(350z dash) wiring specialties set them up that way.

What i am trying to say is i don't believe those settings can be corrected when the fans are on permanently.

as of right now wiring specialties will be sending me a box to ship the wiring specialties box back for an update, hopefully that solves the issue.

When i manually turn the fans on the engine stumbles for a quick second, that's why i am assuming it's adding load and also the air fuel ratio changed.

 

I dont know how the ECU controls mine - whether it's CAN based or not. I dont think it matters 'how' the fans are controlled but rather what tables & settings are controlling them.

I wouldnt adjust your main fuel table based off additional load the fans/AC/power steering/alternator load put on the engine ... you will never be able to predict when, where, what load, what RPMs your peripherals will kick on. I would use your compensation tables to dial this in - in my G4+ it's under Idle Speed Control > Idle Speed Control Settings > Engine Fan Step - mine is set to 2%. Maybe tinker with this percentage ... whatever value you have in the computer now, double it and see if the stumble gets better and adjust accordingly.






Yea - I can see a sudden change in engine load (that the ECU wasnt expecting) could mess with your AFR...

 

I will have a look at this tomorrow thanks man. Good information.

 

I didn't have a chance to check that table yet. I sent off the Wiring specialties box off to them today.

 

Are you familiar with the Link software? and software interface? Coming from Haltech the Link had much more going on and more tables/menus/settings. HPA does a Link software tutorial it's $100 but may be a good place to start if you want to learn more about it. Also just tinkering around and setting up pages helped me.

I hope wiring specialties can bounce that box back and get you up and going - I'm excited to see your results - you got a great build thus far!

 

I am fairly familiar with the link just not all of the functions.

I know about hpa been following them for years and I didnt know that they have courses on link ecu.

Well not wiring specialties fault, my package has been stuck at the border since Wednesday. Wiring specialties won't be receiving it until next Thursday, the shipment was suppose to arrive last Thursday to them ugh tune date pushed forward again. So unreal how it takes 2 weeks to ship something that usually takes 2 days....I'm actually mad.

 

Found a new fender for 60$

 

The same guy who sold me the fender also has nismo s tune suspension for sale I will probably pick those up in the mean time until I can get some coilovers...also he has black ZAKUSTECH louvers and the price is so good I may have to purchase them. It's probably gonna be another 2 weeks before I get the can bus module back...

 

A buddy bought a Nismo suspension used and was very happy with it - was a noticeable improvement over the stock. Also, you'll have no problem selling it when you do go coil-overs.

sucks about the module but hopefully that solves your problem

 

true true, i will be getting the nismo suspension at the very least, he's removing it this weekend, should have it Monday or Tuesday

 

So I will hear back from the tuner tomorrow. I decided to say **** waiting for the wiring specialties can bus module and just send it withou(the fans are auto on full blast).

I honestly cant wait any longer to drive this damn thing when it's this close.

I am trying to sort out an issue my wideband gauge is reading good, but the link is reading good one second then jumps to 22afr on the link outta no where happens every 2 or 3 seconds...I'm hoping it's just the analog voltage wire if not I will have to buy a new interface from aem.
