Hey I am currently getting my R32 tuned and currently running into some problems tuning.

Its a GTST rb20det. Running bigger injectors fuel pump turbo etc with a manual RB25 box and Power FC Pro.

Car will run fine in gear but won't rev while it's in neutral.

PFC settings have been checked and appear to be fine.

Any one have any ideas why it would be running fine in gear but not in neutral?

Hey just some more information... its a really weird problem....

What is happening is when the rear wheels are turning the car is operating fine and it will rev in neutral. such as like after putting it in gear on the dyno then letting it slow down(rear wheels still turning) it will rev okay...

As soon as the rear wheels stop however it won't rev in neutral

Is it possible that this has something to do with launch control on the pfc pro?

*EDIT

He thinks it may be he launch control on the PRO as it only happens when the wheels are not moving. Does anyone know how to access this through the hand controller as he says he cant find the option in there. He has tuned plenty of normal PFC's but none with the pro.

All is well. Fixed it up now. Was the launch control. Thanks beer baron and bog.

just in case anyone else needs help with adjusting it... checkout

what was actually wrong with the launch control settting?

was it lower than idle or something ?

the launch control RPM setting under SETTING is a ceiling RPM limit.

it should only really affect it if you hold the throttle down. ie: while the speed = 0km the rev limit is that alternate setting, i gues it would only be a problem of its too low, or under the idle limit.

Will look when the car comes back but as the link indicates I believe LC isn't ID'd as such on the controller. Tuner has worked with plenty of PFCs before but not a PFC Pro so wasn't sure how to set it. I believe that LC was set really low, which was why we were getting problems.

yep, that's the problem. the stationary rev limit is not always instantly apparent. glad i could help but when you said PFC pro, and wont rev in neutral (ie 0 speed) i knew instantly what it was. i will bill you later for problem diagnosis. :(

    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
