yeah true that trent, as with my power fc i got, cost me 1500 but no one else could get one in for me in that condition...

when you are short on time, things tend to cost more

the check light on will be from AIRT not being connected as the rb25 doesnt have one

you can see its highlighted in bold when he views SENSOR SW CHECK

the PFC expects a value in range but doesnt get one as there no sensor

these guys are correct - Its only because I never wired up a airtemp sensor.

I didn't bother because I'm no longer going to run a RB26 powerFC. Going to stick with the RB25 powerFC.

(That RB26 was supposed to be a pro, but I think someone has flashed it back to a standard FC, making it no good for me)

I was only going this way to run IGN cut and launch control.

That too could be a simple fix.

The air temp sensor uses the same sensor as the water temp. Simply splice the water temp to the air temp and disable any correction via the datalogit.

its actually disabled by default, all the retard settings are 0 im fairly certain

ah u are correct ol' wise one

on the 25 fc they are all set to 0

so this shows us how apexi intended it

runs as much timing as you can and do your tune around your average cold day

mega aggressive timing etc and then dial in the ign backouts for each airtemp range (i think default is -2 at 60deg? air temp)

so when it heats up, the fc backs out timing instead of frying the pistons/etc from higher intake temps in summer

hahaha nice my bad

hehe

and I can tell you - she goes pretty damn hard.

Hooking up the Gizzmo launch control and ignition cut this week, and then a new fuel pump and tune, and then trying for some 11 second passes >_<:):P

Might need to get the syncro's done before that though, they are a little worn. Bugger.

    • 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?
