Power Fc Oddities...

ok heres the problem, rb25pfc on a rb20 using rb20 base maps...

greddy/denso 720cc injectors with dropping resistors to suit.

doing the injector correction math for the power fc 370 / 720 = .515 or so so 51.5% correction on the power fc.

inputting the said 51% change into the power fc causes the car to run EXTREMELY lean and can only be compensated at that setting by changing the lagtimes for the injectors to +70 or so.

not sure what the deal is here or why its running so lean, anyone have any ideas?

why are u using resistors (sorry if its something obvious) but i dont see why?

are they the wrong impedance or type? there should be no reason it will run mega rich or lean with different injectors, providing the right values are dialed in

For that ratio to work both injectors must be statically flowed at the same pressure. Which is how most injectors can be compared. However the flow rate of 1 injector at x ms could be alot different to another injector at the same millisecond -this is where comparing injectors at a signgle duty cycle is useless. What I am trying to say is that the ratio used by PFC is not exact.

I would have input 48.5% to reduce 720 cc down to 370 cc's equivalent.

:) cheers ;)

paul - resistor pack is on there from when i was running the std rb20 ecu, as it used for running low impedence injectors on a high impedence system...

greddy injectors are 3ohms give or take, so that would neccsistate running the resistor pack to keep the car (ecu) from farking its self up no?

That function is there only to offer a basic starting point for your next tune. Back to the dyno my friend.

with swapping 2 wires round and clipping one it plugs right in and runs fine, will even run on the rb25 base maps but runs poorly due to the lack of ignition in the map.

ive realized that the compensation bit isnt as apex described and gonna go back to what i was doing before with changing correction till i get the afr at idle thats ideal (14.5) and going from there...seems to work better that way.

Wow! Do you have a link to any information on how to do this? As i don't really see the value in paying $1500 for a AP Engineering Unit when you can buy an RB25 one for $900ish, when its pretty much the same!?

pardon my ignorance…

but of you are running rb20 base maps, then shouldn’t your formula be using the rb20 standard injectors?

As in 270cc…

I was under the impression rb20 was 270cc and rb25 was 370cc

no even tho im running the base maps for the rb20 it still is a rb25 power fc and there for expects 370cc injectors as stock...

and as far as base maps are concerned, yes they are basemaps but they are also VERY good starting points no one said they would be perfect.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
