ok i am running a rb26 pfc on a rb25, the afm is wired in parallel to a single z32 afm, and the o2 sensors are wired in parellel. my first issue is that when my car ran it idled at around 1500 rpm but it was constant, for some odd reason it perfered to be set on STANDARD r33 and not vg30 afm, now the car would run though. than for some reason the fuel pump stopped getting power so i decided to hard wire it in with a relay, the signal is coming from the radio harness, so when i turn the acc on the fuel pump will stay on, not llike normal where it primes for a second than stops and now when i i try and start it it tries to rev but than it dies out fast, i know the car is super rich since i am using a rb26 harness and the 440s on a single rb25 turbo so i tried to lower the fuel pressure but my gauge broke so i stopped, i tried reseting the pfc and doing the initial startup for idle but it dies out immediabely, i have no boost leaks either, i am stumped how can i lean out the fuel and what can i do to make it idle again, should i put the car in closed loop ? also i did disable the boost control feature too i have a wideband 02 also, and the car never goes 11 afr

Easy fix..

Set it for VG30 and set airflow correction to 50% for all voltages.

That will get it running well enough to just need a 'slight' map tidy up.

Its worth while getting the datalogit on to it to zero out the inlet air temp correction.

i actually have the capability to do the ait sensor since i have one i just need to install it before the TB, but why wouldi set the voltage to 50% ? gunna try it just curious why that would fix it, also i can wire the afms parallel, all he pfc does is take the value and divide by two, it does the same thing with the 02 sensors

im trying to do this atm, having the same problem.

02 sensor averages the sensors so splicing them if fine.

but unsure of this: gtr afm signals are added so for a 25 you splice the 1 signal to the two afm pins (so it doesnt run on knock map and get correct ecu load) but doing this effectively tells the 26 ecu u are taking in twice the air so to correct this turn the voltage down to %50 on fc edit (will also correct ecu idle load point).

CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM THAT WHOS DONE THE CONVERSION?

my issue is when i do that i cant get enough fuel in around load point 7 and beyond and just leans out no matter how much correction i have in.

I think that's because the VQ curve is not a straight line. So just halving the voltage returned by the AFM is not actually halving the "signal". The VQ map is a smooth curve, but if you squint when you look at it, you could approximate it by a line at one slope below 25% load, and another steeper line above 25% load.

If you just halve the voltages, you can try to get it right for one side of that straight line pair, or the other side, but not both.

I would have thought, seeing that the PFC just adds the AFM readings together, that it would be fine to just run 1 AFM, get a zero reading for the other (or some low fixed voltage that you could arrange by just using a resistor to simulate it) and come out the other side correct. As long as the PFC doesn't freak from having proper readings on one AFM and bullshit reading on the other.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
