S14 KA-T Tune Questions :: Knock Map

I have a 95 S14 w./ KA24DE. I am finally starting to do the tuning. I am trying to do in steps, so at this point the turbo is on (ISIS version of 2871). Injectors, FPR, MAF, and fuel pump are still stock. With the turbo install, the EGR was removed. The AFR's are going beyond 18+ at idle. If I hit t...

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

I think I may have resolved the issue. It was the ground cable from the head. I relocated the battery to the trunk and can't believe I forgot about that ground cable. So now I am swapping back to the XCESSIVE manifold and I am going to see how it runs with that. Hopefully I'll have that done tomorro...

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

I unplugged the MAF and now it will idle stead at 1k for about 15 seconds and then it slowly drops the AFR from 14.8 down to the 12's and that is when I shut it off. I plugged the MAF back in and I have the issue again. I also tried flipping the MAF around, but it didn't result in any change.

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

I just threw a fuel pressure gauge in-line with the feed and I am getting 43 PSI consistently. I tried playing with the multiplier just to see, and it didn't make a difference at all. Could the issue actually be with the ECU? I sent it to AVP to have the board installed and the car was apart when it...

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

I'm nearly at a loss for what could be causing this. I bolt the old manifold back on with a thermal gasket and I still have the same issue. I hooked up the air regulator and IAC valve. The EGR is blocked off at the manifold using the ISIS EGR Block-off plate and gasket. My next step is to replace al...

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

Quick note: I know you're a way off at present, but once you get that sorted and re-fit the ID1000's, be careful at first startup. Once you go to injectors that size it's VERY easy to wet the plugs. People typically keep cranking if it won't fire - avoid this if you can. Have NIStune open and synce...

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

Could be a leak from the manifold. Was it the bolt on kit from Xcessive? Yes, it is the XCESSIVE KA24DE Intake Manifold Kit with the Q45 Flange pre-welded. With the big TB it may have become a little touchy between TB closed and when it opens. Might be worth playing around with the TPS so that you ...

Re: A couple of issues :: v. 10.12

I tried my HP mini 1035 netbook and it works fine with it. I am running Windows 7 32-Bit on the netbook, instead of 64-bit. I'm not saying that is the exact issue, but I will continue to diagnose. I no longer get the disconnects when starting the car either.

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

The MAF is still the stock S14 MAF and it worked fine 2 months ago. There was 1 ECU message, but I forget what it was. I will try to capture it again.

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

Although idle isn't being regulated, it should run with throttle. As soon as I hit the gas pedal, it stalls out. This is why I am thinking it's not getting any fuel. As soon as I open the throttle, more air is going through, but the fuel just doesn't seem like it's there. If the issue was with the A...

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

I changed back to the stock injectors and stock Fuel Pressure Regulator and loaded the stock S14_KA24DE_MT image from the nistune rom pack and the issue still exists. This leads me to believe that the issue either lies in one of the following: XCESSIVE Intake Manifold Q45 Throttle Body Q45 TPS IACV ...

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

I swapped out the injectors for a different set. The one's in there now are 65lb / hr. So I set them to 683cc. After the change I was able to get log for the few seconds that it ran. It is now starting at around 12 afr and then climbing to 17. I have attached the log. Pushing in the throttle makes i...

Re: Injector Change Issue - Won't Start

Yes, it is turboed. I just have the turbo turned off right now to make sure I get it running stable without any boost. I redid the "resizing" without the crank adjustments (after reverting back to stock) and now it starts, but when it starts the AFR is 10.1 and then it goes up to 17.1 very...

A couple of issues :: v. 10.12

1.) Sometimes the nistune won't connect. I can initially connect, but then it will drop the connection after some time and if I try to connect it says it won't connect, even though it's still on the same com port. I have to close nistune, turn the ignition off, leave it off for about a minute, then ...
