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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
