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

Try turning the AVCR off, and taking the car for a drive under load. When i do this my AVCR recalls a boost of 0.83-0.87 bar.

As such it is impossible to drop the boost level to below the actuator boost level.

I have Setting A set up to run 0.85 bar but ramps onto boost a little quicker by reducing wastegate creep. It holds stable boost pressure and never goes over 0.90bar

Setting B i have set on 1.0bar but have only used it about 6 times, as my car pings a little, and unless running toluene doesnt really add any performance.

With a 25% mix of toluene the old girl has plenty more top end.

    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
