Apexi Afc Neo (safc) Tuning Issues...

Hey All,

I've got an R33 RB25DE+T (Stock RB25DET ECU and Injectors), with an AFC Neo piggy back and a wideband O2 Air/Fuel ratio + RPM datalogger (innovate).

I've had the car on the dyno before so i knew the fuel mixtures were way out, on my first run everything was spot on, the AFR's at RPM points match the dyno plot perfectly.

At light throttle with my cars lambda sensor disconnected the car ran at 10:1 AFR, which was fine - I was able to lean this to the 12's no issues whatsoever (took -20% on the AFC), this was my practice and everything was fine. So now I started to work on my massive lean spot at WOT (car lean spikes to 16:1 at 3000rpm), kept adding fuel up to +50% but it didn’t make any difference... Moving on from this I tried to adjust my rich spot up top (10:1 AFR from 5000 to 7000rpm) no matter how much fuel i pulled out of it, it just didn’t make any difference to fuel mixtures or the pull of the car. The AFC shows the correction (in the monitor mode), but it just doesn’t do anything... It's like the ecu is RPM mapped at those points... The more i lowered the boost (its at 10psi), the better the lean spike looked (~ 8psi brought it to 14:1).

Any ideas? The AFM in and out are both set to 1 is this correct? All wiring is perfect.

Cheers for any info, don’t tell me to take it to a tuner.

I think I've found the issue (though not sure if it would cause my symptoms...?); I installed this based off this guide:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sa...3-G-t85232.html

Where is says set AFM IN and AFM OUT both to 1

But reading here: (Page 24)

http://www.scribd.com/doc/19576441/Apexi-I...-Wiring-Diagram

It says set both to 4.

I'm not sure if the AFC is different, or if it is wrong, or even if it will make any difference - I'll have to wait until I get home tonight.

Please still post if you have any other insights...

Have you made sure you've set your throttle position as you have to calibrate it for your car? As it sounds like the % for the hi map is screwed up. Should be around 35% that it switches

But yes iir it should be set at 4 both in and out.

Yeah that’s set right, low throttle comes in at 0% and high throttle is at 40%.

I've tried moving the threshold higher to run of low throttle maps, but it doesn’t make a difference. Regardless it runs increasingly rich until around 45% throttle, then it leans right out.

Setting it to 4 & 4 didn’t make a difference. I randomly set one to 1 and one to 4 to test it and the car spluttered like expected, so it is working...

Here's a picture of my wideband log, RPM vs AFR, you can see the lean spot which i am trying to iron out....

I really hope not, can’t really fork out for full management. Everything is fine I just need to correct these fuel mixtures.

There must be a reason for this issue... Its not like I can’t adjust it any further, its simply just not making any difference to mixtures (even if I +50% it).

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
