Apexi Power Fc Djetro R34 Gtr

Hi,

I just swapped a RB26DETT (R34 engine) into a R34 20GT. I adapted the engine harness to fit with the car and the new engine. Everything seem to be fine according to the commander of the Power Fc but the car starts and then shut down by itself. I am running a Power FC Djetro and the two MAP sensors are connected to the same average pressure line next to the fuel rail. In the instruction manual it tells me to connect one MAP sensor to the 3rd cylinder and the other one to the 4th cylinder. The big problem is that I have to remove the whole intake in order to drill in the throttle. Can you tell me if my problem (engine shutting down) is related to the bad MAP sensors installation or related to something else

Thank you

Niko

if it still fails to idle and nothing in SENSOR SW check is black.

does each of the PIMs have voltage?

try doing ETC, DATA INIT, YES

powering car off

and then starting the car and letting it idle

does it idle then ?

Okay, We check everything! With a electric drill we were spinning the cam angle sensor so we could see everything. We putted a probe to see the signal into the cam angle sensor (and it work perfectly), the fuel pump is working fine, the spark plugs are firing, everything is working fine, except... The only problem that we realised is that the injectors are only working when the car is cranking. Their is a injector signal when cranking (cold "something") but after the ECU stop sending signals. So we opened and physically check inside the ECU and faked a signal all the way through the injectors (and they were opening!). Now the only issue is the ECU. For someone reason the ECU stops sending injector signals after the start up. We have tried we a used PowerFC nonDjetro and a new PowerFC Djetro. Both of them is giving us the same reaction.

Something strange also happened. Before getting the Djetro, my friend from Japan sent me a used PowerFC nonDjetro BNR34 so I could start the engine before getting the Djetro. So we connected the PowerFc nonDjetro and we faked a MAF signal (because I had no MAFs) and the car started and was running (running like shit but it was running). After a few weeks, I received the Djetro and since then it always did the same problem (starting and then stalling)

Can you tell me if it s a common problem with the PowerFc or something else?!

P.S In the instruction manual it say that we have to connect one MAP sensor to the 3rd cylinder (throttle) and the other one to the 4th. Instead of doing this, we connected the 2 MAPs sensors to the same average vacuum line next to the fuel rail. Could this confuse the ECU for getting the same pressure reading?!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
