I have just had an Apexi AVCR, that I bought from ebay, installed by an auto electrician/mechanic on my 33. But when I went to pic it up, the guy said the AVCR is jammed on max boost. The solenoid goes crazy as soon as the ignition is turned on, even without the engine running. In monitor mode the screen is showing 2.93 kg/cm2, which I guess is at its max.

I have reset the AVCR through the initialize setting, but it didnt make a difference. I also checked if it is hooked up right and it is right there ie; COM line -> wastegate, NO line -> intercoolerpiping.

The guy who installed it has one on his car, and when he hooked his screen up to my car, it worked perfectly. Do you guys think the screen thing is F&%*ed, or is there something I'm misssing (settings etc)???

Cheers

based on that statement i would say your screen if being silly

i have a mate who has just the screen make an offer and i will let him know ( the plug is missing but if you know how to solder just cut your plug of and re solder new screen on or take it to force electronics they will solder for you)

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
