i have just bought an apexi pfc and i have a problem setting it up.

i have the rb25det one, and i wanna know where do i plug my map sensor into?

my engine light is constantly on aswell.

i had a look at paul r33s post and have found out a lot but i just can't figure out wheir it goes and still a bit hazy on what levels things should be at,

when i plant the foot a little the engine light flickers but the knock sensor is sitting on 14 to 16???

Lets take care of the obvious first:

Did you buy a PFC D-Jetro? Cause if you didn't, then the map sensor was a waste of money, you can't run a map sensor on an L-Jetro PFC (Normal kind) you have to run an AFM. The standard AFM will be fine, unless it is being maxed out.

The check engine light only flashes for 3 reasons. knock, injector duty cycle nearing 100% and AFM near max voltage output.

yeah i dont have that kind of pfc, the wrecker just sent me it down from bris and im just trying to put it in.

the denso map sensor i thought id have to use because there is a port for it in my ecu?

The map sensor should be for the boost control kit.

This is starting to get a bit confusing and muddled.

So you have a PFC L-Jetro, PFC Boost Control Kit (including map sensor) and you are using an afm right now?

Was there any other boost control kit plugged in before this, or just the standard?

What mods do you have installed in the car and what kind of power are you making?

yeah i have the stock r33 afm running.

i have a shit 22 dollar boost controller at the moment, i havent put the apexi boost kit in yet.

i have, front mount intercooler,aip pod, intake plenum and the boost controller thats about it for mods.

why are you dicking around with the map sensor then if you haven't plugged in the boost control kit? It's not going to do diddly squat.

If you just replaced the stock ecu with the PFC and hand controller then it should be fine, though it might have a tune on it already not suited for your car...

If the car is stock I would be resetting the PFC and driving it super easy off boost till it has been tuned

Book it in right away and or put your stock ecu back in till its at the dyno!!!!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
