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

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
