im running a 18 pound actuator and a brand new PFC boost control kit.

attached is a dyno print out showing the wave.

i have installed a 2mm restrictor in the feed line to the solenoid and the results are on the printout.

before i installed the restrictor it was even worse.

the boost settings are on 1.6 kgm cm

and the duty cycle is on 83 %

its a built rb25det with the new gt3540-iw

if i go any higher with the boost the wave gets bigger, and longer.

does any one have any other solution?

cheers Darren

how are the results varied when you adjust the duty cycle?

how is the solenoid connected? (draw a diagram)

where is the map sensor connected to (diagram would help)

the map sensor i joined with a T fitting into the line to the EBC from the plenum

and the wires plug directly into the pfc

the solenoid is wired up as you suggested in your pfc thread.

and checked with a multimeter.

if i go any higher with the duty cycle it becomes even more unstable.

What Paul suggested plus.......

Since you aren't using the EBC, reduce the amount of vaccum tubing, it's just buffering the signal to the PFC map sensor.

:O cheers :)

Sorry Gary you have lost me.

i have a bad headache.

what ebc are you talking about?

where do you recomend running the lines from for the ebc?

should i get a fitting put into the outlet of the comp cover?

or what?

also should i plug the map sensor into the bov instead?

cheers

also to note the FC has a boost cut protect mode which may be activating, if the boost spikes 0.25kgcm2 over the value you dial in under SETTING, BOOST it will perform boost cut and back itself off. you may be hitting this, i would expect the engine check light to come on however

Looking at the boost curve it appears that the initially required duty cycle (at 3500 rpm) is not set correctly to meet your boost target of 1.6kg/cm).

1) At 3500 rpm your turbo is finally making enough pressure to overcome the actuator spring pressure. Prior to this your 2mm reducer and bleed off valve have no effect.

2) The sudden reduction in boost pressure after 3500 rpm is due to the solenoid bleeding off too much pressure. The duty cycle is too low at this point (even at 85% open) and the waste gate has opened too much due to too much pressure on the actuator. This suggests the reducer is incorrectly sized and you need to reduce the duty cycle (overall) in order to gain some control at the onset of boost - 3500rpm. My guess is that a bigger reducer would give you better control of boost at this point. The 2mm reducer cannot relieve enough pressure fast enough at this point and the waste gate is opening too much.

3) The boost response from say 4500 rpm to 6000rpm is fairly normal.

4) To retain a flatter boost curve after 6000rpm a multi channel boost controller might be needed to pull down the duty and open the waste gate as this turbo really starts to come on steam. A simple proportional controller as per the PFC may not be able to act fast enough in this sort of situation.

Holy f**k Sticks Batman!

Have a look at the boost of the Gizzmo!!

It's almost vertical!

What was that like to drive?

as its my wifes car she loves it, and my 2.5yr old daughter squeals out "More Boost Mum"

Being a auto it gets very interesting very quickly.

Steve might be able to shed some light as he made 320 something rwkw through a HKS3037 + all the nice bits to get there with 20 something psi with perfect boost control

You 'may' want to give Shaun a buzz as he tuned Steve's many years ago and knows them like the back of his hand.

Just like the AVCR they can be a hassle to setup.

Can anyone post the top attachment as I can't seem to view it. I also have the PFC boost kit and my boost curve is also like a wave and its affecting the whole power graph, im not sure if the self learning thing has changed it since the tune ill have to get it on a dyno again to check it out.

are you referring to 255 on the boost screen? its not used but apparently its part of the logic control. the manual doesnt say shit about it, datalogit cant touch it and the hand controller cant touch it

also to note the FC has a boost cut protect mode which may be activating, if the boost spikes 0.25kgcm2 over the value you dial in under SETTING, BOOST it will perform boost cut and back itself off. you may be hitting this, i would expect the engine check light to come on however

as stated in the original post the boost is set at 1.6kgcm2

yet boost is only making 21 psi! how would boost cut be activating?

does anyone have english instructions for the pfc boost kit?

i have posted the dyno graph in the original post

cheers

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
