AP Engineering PowerFC (R32)

RB30DET with R34 GTR Injectors

Injector trim @ 58.5%

I've found this to pretty much be as lean as I can go before drivability suffers.

As it turns out these values are the same as the R34 GTR PFC.

It drops in to closed loop no less than 1km down the road with engine temp is @ ~50degree's.

Here's my correction table.

Standard RB25DET with standard injectors.

I had to copy the values into the 50deg zone as my water temp never gets to 80deg.

It usually just hovers around the 73-75deg mark, never above. Only a few times I've seen it over 80deg.

Here's the apexi default RB25DET Table.

My car was idling really rough for the first 2-3 mins on cold start after th tune. It was because he leaned it out so much

I now have played around and put 1.28 in the +30 deg low load one and 1.25 in the 50 deg low load cell.

I'll try and knock a bit out and check to see it doesn't interfer with cold idling

I can run 1.00 right down to around +10 with only a real slight roughness. still idles perfectly stable, roughness is hardly noticable.

The issue with mine going so lean is more so the flat spot, running what I have now its spot on. Car doesn't feel as *choked* up when cold and literally feels and drives as if it was warm.

Best part is it doesn't smell like fuel first thing in the mornings anymore, some thing its always done even with the stock motor/ecu.

mins is the same - rarely see it above 75 degrees

Any ways on making it run a little hotter? Or I guess thats a good thing?

Your both running genuine thermostats?

Maybe water temp really is 80+ just the sensors read lower? ;)

Paul.. Yes, see if some ppls on the datalogit forums are keen. Share mine with them, may get things moving, being something different and all.

The PFC appears to stop retarding ign. timing at 60degree's so no real worries with retard, only fuel.

What will happen is it will be tuned, be fine for the street until you really push it hard (i.e track) engine temps will rise, fuel will lean out and you will most likely notice a little detonation.

When I get around to it I will take down my cranking ms injector settings.

I've got it cold starting perfectly with the larger injectors, prior it was taking a few too many cranks first thing in the morning, now it fires on the first crank.

Seems to be a thing with R32's and GTR injectors from what I've noticed.

yeah my thermostat is standard and hasn't been changed. i have seen over 80deg before just not very often. like even giving it a fair cane on the street doesnt get the temps up very high. 75 is normal for me. ill see what i can sus out on the datalogit forums

If the temp sender was in the lower hose where the thermostat is I would suspect the temp to be 76degree's or pretty spot on.

As the temp sender is in the top hose it reads the water temp leaving the motor.

So... The temp sender in the top hose should always read higher than 76degree's no matter what.

In my case ~83 degree's on cruise and up to 88-90 degree's if underload for a duration of time i.e dyno tuning.

Am I thinking along the right track?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
