View Full Version : Blacktop running rich/poor after upgrades

Ok here's the situation.. I have a 93 Nissan Silvia originally equipped with a redtop sr20det. The car ran perfect stock. Now I have a s13 Blacktop with a built head, gt2871r turbo, walbro 255, stock injectors, maf and a stock Blacktop ecu. Now obviously the car would run a little rough but it's still driveable. The only problem it gives me is every now and then it'll shut off when I let off the gas and come to a stop.

Ok, so when I purchased the blacktop(already built) I also bought this guys tuned ecu. He had it tuned for the same mods including the turbo. They only mods I was missing was the z32 maf and 850cc injectors(which his ecu was tuned for as well). So I bought a new maf and injectors and installed them and the tuned ecu. With that installed the car cranks up just fine but rins very rough. I can rev it up as high as I want but it breaks up real bad. I swapped my maf with a known good one and it runs the same.. Any suggestions? Could the ecu be bad? I also have a coolant temp sensor out of a redtop, not sure if that matters.

So your running a Black Top ECU with a Red Top Harness?

Depending on the Black Top ECU, You'll have to repin the ECU harness.

I forgot which one needs to be repinned so just look around here and see

fpr or the vac lines check them out fpr might not be getting the correct vacuum

I think my ecu and harness setup is fine. I have 2 E5 ecu's. The stock one(which makes the car run pretty decent) and the tuned one(makes the car run like s**t). Could it really be a vac. issue just because I swapped the ecu and added bigger injectors and maf? It would kinda make sense but could someone explain why, if that is the case.

My major concern is the ecu. Can anybody atleast rule out the ecu as being the problem?

Get that shit properly tuned with a programmable ecu

Which O2 sensor are you running? If you are using the E5 ECU, you need the fat type sensor.

I have the cross reference o2 sensor. I think it was the TT z32. It's fat.

How long did you run the car "stock" with the 2871R and at what boost?

Who is the ECU tuned by?

is your bov recirculated?

I know you have repin the Type X Harness if you want to use another ECU that is not a Type X. Could be the tune in the ECU, Not every Motor runs the same even with Similar builds. GL

ecu is an enthalpy tune.. I think. I'll double check that.

My bov in not recirculated.

As for the tune; I bought the motor from him aswell. We had the same turbo only his had a bigger exhaust housing. Other then that, everything was the exact same thing.
