hi guys,

i have read the PFC faq.. for all RB26 owners.. wondering if you have set the O2 sensor reg. (on or off).. this is below the O2 feedback setting which i have also turned on.. initially it was off and after 30 mins of ecu learning.. it sounded like wrx with its zorst note.. on a side note, car is currently leaking oil from driver side somewhere so further testing on hold atm.. any pointers on where to look.. check oil filter and no sign of oil there.. perhaps a tear in one of the pipes on that side that leaks under load..

cheers

nesh

it should be on, and is on by default

it enables 02 feedback, which is fuel economy correction/adjustment on light cruise

the ecu will look at the stock 02 sensor sensor on light cruise and use that information to save fuel

hey paul, thanks for the reply.. wen i resetted the pfc initially, O2 feedback sensor was ON, however there was another setting below it, O2 sensor reg which i assume is a regulator etc.. this was OFF by default and i was wondering if that could be the cause of my weird zorst tone.. car doesnt hunt on idle but clearly lacks power.. do u think i need to reset the ecu again and have the O2 sensor reg. turned ON and then have the car re-learn over 30mins? sensor status on the hand controller shows all clear and working..

ah you are correct wise one

the BNR32/BNR33 powerfc has

02 feedback

and

02 reg on/off

the 02 reg on/off translates to

"Rides in BNR32 as for the customer who < Ant > Please set."

the only thing i can think of that would be related would be the fact the bnr32 uses titania 02 sensors, whereas the bnr33 does not

so it guess its some sort of extra mode to make the bnr32 units work corerctly, as bnr32 and bnr33 have same powerfc but different 02 sensor types

umm i guess only way to find out is to turn it ON and see if it makes a difference.. was reading PFC hand controller manual for RX7 and instructions for resetting of PFC via controller said selecting YES followed by Ignition switch OFF -> ON.. i didnt do the final step wen resetting my ecu as i was following ur guide and i think it didnt list it.. i hope i wasn't running the car with the previous map still on it as it was tuned for 370kw+..

i think you will find that the 02 feedback is mainly for emissions ;)

if you turn it on you get worse fuel economy and the car runs around 13.2 - 13.8 a/f ratio.

i even tested this theory on the RTA epa test and you can see it only changes the emissions and makes it run richer.

i have mine turned off at all times but had it on when i passed the emissions test :O

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
