yeah joel could be onto something

the manual mentions a bit about "issues" control over 1.3kgcm2

but its not clear. does the map sensor let you see to 1.6bar ?

not sure we didnt go past 1.35kgcm2 as it the boost wave got real ugly

I've recoreded and controlled over 2bar with the avc-r which uses the same solonoid and map sensor? On a external gate with 17psi spring

Altho with the avc-r the duty cycle is adjustable via rpm. looks like it getting boost spike and its cutting it, try the lower duty cycle

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

Hey Darren,

Is your solenoid inline between the pressure source and the gate, or is it operating as a bleed?

Have you tried it the 'other way'?

Does the PFC "learn" over time? If not, what does that last number displayed on the HC mean?

yes its in line.

no idea!

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

You posted this;

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

I assumed;

"map sensor" = the PFC BCK map sensor

"EBC" = some other (no longer used) EBC

If you have lots of vacuum tubing (and T pieces) between the plenum and the PFC BCK map sensor, you will get slow response to boost changes. Lots of air in there buffers the pressure changes, especially when you have a turbo that ramps up onto boost rediculously fast.

So make the vacuum hose from the plenum to the BCK map sensor short and get rid of (or move) anything else on the same vacuum feed.

Looking at the two boost curves (gizmo and BCK) I see the same waves. The gizmo looks better only because the scaling is smaller. Same problem then as you have now. It's an auto, so how are you locking up the torque converter? If you aren't locking up the torque converter, than that is the problem. Simplistically, when the turbo hits boost the torque converter unlocks, this releases the load from the engine and it produces less exhaust. Less exhaust means less boost, less boost means the torque converter locks up again, etc etc.

When dynoing an auto, we always log the engine rpm, that way we can see the torque converter effects.

:D cheers :D

what do you mean learning value?

The learning value is the 255 initial value that you cannot change. If you get the duty cycle close enough the PFC uses (fuzzy logic) to fine tune it. The learning value will change as the computer fine tunes it self. Therefore if this value does not change, you either have the duty perfect OR you are no where near. In your case I reakon you probably have too much duty.

What is your duty set at?

PS, the above is just my opion. Might not be fact but seems to work for me...

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
