i've got old-style AVC-R and S-AFC and an HKS fuel-cut defender, and i'm looking to tune the suckers a bit better... car runs *okay* but i cant help thinking i can get more out of it.

i want to run about 10-12psi boost (standard turbo/cooler), so does anyone have a decent S-AFC map i could use??? or is just the standard fuel map adequate for running that sort of boost? also, how do i throw the FCD into this equation?

with the combination of avc-r, afc and FCD, i have a feeling that either a) my injectors/fuel pump are not stock or B) the owner of the car before me was a rich rice-boy with no clue and would have driven the car to an early grave by cranking up boost and fuel beyond the cars capacity... which brings me to my next question. is there any easy way of telling whether the injectors are stock?

answers to these questions would be awesome.

grimr33per,

in regards to tuning the s-afc would it not be better to tune YOUR car on a dyno? Every car is different....had a different history, slightly different mods etc etc and therefore someone elses map may not work as well in your car. If you really can't afford the dyno costs I guess using a map off another car is better than nothing....but IMHO I'd rather save the dough and hit the dyno....

no probs man.......can't recommend any dyno's in brissie as I'm from Melb!!! In regard to dyno costs.......shops usually charge by the hour for a dyno tune and therefore depends on how much work they need to do....allow for anywhere between $200-600.

You can road tune an S-AFC, but you probably won't get the optimal power out of it. You just have to make sure you don't run it too lean. But if you can get it done for $80, don't waste your time doing it yourself. $80 is nothing, I paid double that.

Also grimr33per, all those mods are fine to run with the stock fuel system, so don't assume that your car has bigger injectors. My car had a similar setup and managed 214rwkw before leaning out. You pretty much need those mods *before* you bother with a bigger pump or injectors, so the previous owner hasn't just riced it up.

Edit: as for identifying the injectors, I haven't had a good look at mine yet but I think they don't have red/purple tops :P Also if you have a custom fuel rail for top-fed injectors they aren't stock.

I have a T04E. Flows a little better and can run higher boost than stock due to steel wheels but as such suffers from a bit more lag (it's really not bad at all though). In theory I should be able to hit 250rwkw with it but I'm not too sure the exhaust housing is big enough in its current form.

I got it done at Procar Dyno in Cromer Heights (Nthn Beaches) Tel: 99815099

you should be good to run 12psi on standard pump with standard computer, but when i fitted my 2530 i was running lean on 12psi. anyhow you will be able to tell whether or not when its being tuned on the Dyno

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
