hI GUYS, my uncle and I have recently fitted an Apexi AVC-R to my r32 gts-t. In the etc. menu I have put the correct settings to what car it is etc...

Although my problem is that its boosting more than it should. I have set it to 0.7 bar (11psi) and through testing its reached a max of 0.83 bar and an average of 0.76 bar.

I believe that the duty cycle may need to be set properly. I know that the AVC-R is wired correctly because its showing correct stats on speed, revs, boost etc...

Maybe I have left something out although I can only think its the duty cycle at this point in time.

Thanks

Mark

under boost set your desired boost and in duty cycle, step down one by one % until you reach your desired boost. if it doesn't change, then you've hooked up the solenoid wrong. remember to do the boosting in the same gear.

different gears give different boost levels (not by much tho) so use the gear learning function to keep your boost the same in each gear.

and don't get busted speeding when testing your boost level :)

i have done the sensor check and it seems to be right, although I have one question that maybe effecting it - instead of drilling a hole before the throttle body for one of the hoses for the solaniod valve a mechanic said that it would work the same from the actuator hose (the one ur ment to close off) so thats what we have done, also to avoid drilling a whole in the piping. Is that wrong?

thanks heaps for your help

:D

Which do you mean by actuator hose? Do you mean the one from the return from the BOV? In mine it was blocked off there, and taken from before the throttle side.

There should also be settings to adjust "sharpness" or basically reduce spiking, but i'm not fully familiar with the AVC-R functions so couldn't say definitely. I know in my ProfecB that setting can effect whether it hits an exact boost when u quickly put your foot to the floor or creep up 1-2psi over.

You probably should take it to somebody to specifically dyno tune after the install - as you will also need fuel/air adjustments as well to sort it all. The whole characteristics will have changed, even if you're running similar boost levels.

Hey Gordo, its the actuator hose that goes to the front of the turbo i believe, which is getting intake air anyway thats why the mechanic said it should work rather than drilling a hole in the intake before the throttle body. I feel completely lost after trying to set it for so long i think i give up. Im gonna give it a service next week and a dyno also :D

Do you think Ice will be able to look at it for me?

Do they know about the avc-r?

Is it better to get a service before the dyno or doesn't it matter?

Thanks Gordo

:(

On mine at least, on the cooler piping before it goes into the throttle body there is a nipple (part of the HKS piping) - this goes via hose into the "in" side of my boost solenoid. From there the "out" side goes direct to the actuator.

Depending on how the AVC-R works, it may just need a t-piece into the existing intake->actuator line. Wait a tic.. will check the installation diagram for u.

i will post a pic tonight as i have a new shiny digicam *woot* picture is 1000 stupid words :(

Ice definitely would know about the AVC-R (or VMS, BMT or any other workshop probably) and probably installed 50 or more.. they can tell u what you are doing wrong. If you have time go down there and they'll probably tell u in 5 seconds. They can hook you up with a dyno tune as well.

Service will help if they clean or replace the plugs. New oil, and new fuel filter might make the engine rev a bit more smoothly too... so might be a good idea b4 the dyno.

cheers

I'm looking at the diagram right in front of me.. From what it sounds like, you've got the air line side of things connected up all fine. As long as you got your pressure sensor rigged between the fuel reg and the plenum all should be fine.

Sounds like something else is going on.. anyway, sounds like the BMT guys can sort it out for you.

Thanks heaps Gordo ur a great help mate!!!!

Thanks Jedcoyxiicut if got it ready to be seen by Excess Engineering as they aparently distribute all the apexi stuff, although I will contact you if all fails. Thanks heaps again mate!

Also could you tell me how much it would cost for a basic service and dyno tune?

Thanks again guys :P

Thanks heaps Dr Drift, I'll definetly be comming to u for dyno tunes and services and stuff. I will need a dyno very soon so i will give u a buzz, also thanks for offering to explain the cycles with me as Im very interested with the dyno stuff :D

Talk to you soon Mate

    • 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.
