Over fuelling after major engine modifications
Hi
I'm having some trouble getting the car in a drivable state so i can get it to a tuner for mapping. Seems to be running on one rotor under 2.5k rpm and just dies without some throttle input .
Previously stock JDM S5 turbo engine with no running issues and good compression, here's the new engine spec:
Its getting through fuel like there's no tomorrow, so much im considering building an oil refinery and getting a dedicated oil pipeline from Russia! the front rotor plugs are soaking with fuel when i take them out after running the engine for a few minutes.
Here's what I've tried so far:
What should I check next?
My only concern is im still using the stock IAT, and every conversion kit for a 3rd gen PowerFC (eg the Banzai racing one) comes with a replacement. I've been told it shouldn't make a difference and I have the AP engineering version ?
Before I resort to getting my tuner to come to the car and put a base map on it, is there anything else I could check?
TIA

Previously stock JDM S5 turbo engine with no running issues and good compression, here's the new engine spec:
- TO4E
- Turbo-back exhaust
- AP Engineering PowerFC (no AFM)
- 1000cc primary / 1600cc secondary
- Sard RJ type FPR (Set to 2.5bar)
- FMIC
- Twin power/new leads/new plugs
- bosch 044
- denso 3 bar MAP

Here's what I've tried so far:
- Set fuel pressure to 2.5bar
- Set injector sizes in power fc with hand commander
- played around with the PIM voltage, no effect
- de-flooded the engine many times, cleaned the plugs, tried brand new plugs
What should I check next?

Prime the pump. Don't try to start the car. Check your fuel pressure regulator and see if it's holding pressure. An after market one will slowly lose pressure, it may take 5 minutes. If it's dropping quick, I would suspect a leaking injector in the front rotor, hence you are soaking that one, and not the rear.

Thanks everyone for all your advice

With the 550 primaries if you're concerned about excessive injector duty cycle you can have your tuner raise base fuel pressure to 40psi or 3 bar (43.5 psi) before tuning. If you put the stock injectors back in the car should hopefully be more driveable although I would stay out of boost. Is this tuner experienced with Rx-7's and Power FC's ?

+1 for this. I run 720's for primaries and have no issues going lean ever. Tuner got my AFR's down in the high 11's to low 12's at lower RPM cruise but that's the best we could do.

Strangely enough he didn't seem to think the larger primaries would be a problem to map with, but since i need the car to be drivable off boost 550cc is the way forward.
Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted with how i get on
