As an engineer who sets up various control loops in industry I will have crack. A controller typically has three values of interest:

Setpoint (SP) - The amount of boost you want

Control Value (CV) - The output to the variable bleed valve, or pulsing of on/off valve or pushing/pulling the wastegate itself.

Process Value (PV) - The amount of boost you are getting.

To manually set one up you would typically make a step change to the CV (eg. valve from 0% to 50% open) and measure the response to the PV (how long it takes to reach the final boost value, and rate of change). With these measurements you set controller such that it gets the value you want as soon as possible, with little over shoot, and then hold where you want it.

A "learning" controller does this for you. While learning it changes whatever it varies to effect boost level and measures what effect it has on boost with your setup (ie. your turbo, your exhaust, ambient temp etc.).

It's not hype it's necessity. If it doesn't learn you would either have slow spool up or overshoot.

  • 4 weeks later...

with the GReddy Profec A, its learning mode is used to learn the features of the actuator type, external wastegates, and the stability of the boost curve. There are two learning phases:

1. Learns the stock base boost level

2. Learns the basic boost curve and the difference between the pressure in the wastegate and the pressure in the intake manifold.

You need to run the learning mode again after any changes are made to the characteristics of the wastegate spring or the power output of the engine.

Not sure about the apexi boost control kit for the pfc, but would assume it is similar.

for example, after installing my pfc, Z32 afm's and cam gears, I had trouble with boost spiking and then dropping off at high rpm. After running the learning mode it now once again holds my desired boost level spot on through the entire rev range.

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
