Apexi Power Fc Base Map

Basically I put a power FC in my 34 GTR just to see if it works...and it does. When I put the standard computer back in the keys were now unsynced and I can't start the car, so I had to put the FC back in.

Nissan here is useless and don't know how to recode the keys and I am 1000k's away from somewhere to tune the FC. I will get it tuned..probably Marchish.

I have been told the main difference btween a factory ECU tune and a FC base map is mostly the timing as the fuel map is similar.

Attached is screens from my FC. My car is a basic pod/exhaust car so can anyone compare their maps if they have a similar state of mods and see if there is anything I can change?

as don data has said, the base map should be fine if you are normal and dont trash it and keep it on stock boost

using a "touched up" tune is just going to give you a false sense of "tuned" and youll trash it

putting the engine at risk and everything else. if it was me, stick with the base map, run low boost and get it done properly

status wouldnt suggest it if it wasnt safe paulr33....i think he knows what he is talking bout.. and would be more safe then any base map crap

This. That's a good offer from status. I believe that the Status tune will pretty much be the base map with far less aggressive timing, since timing is the thing that makes an untuned PFC unsafe.

no, they screw into a bung like the factory narrowband sensor. they can directly replace the stock one and still work with the factory ECU. however if you want to run a wideband o2 in the first place, there's a good chance you don't even use the factory ECU anymore...

stear clear of innovate. old ones are good but they're newer stuff is very unreliable and buggy.

Yeah my LC-1 has a recurring bug, but i 'downgraded' to the old firmware and works like a treat.

having known this before i would've gone for a AEM UEGO, but at the end of the day, i've got a wideband that works fine, just took a little more fuckin around.

Sorry. I'm sort of confused. Wouldn't it be waaaaay easier to have a device to check air fuel ratio's without changing the factory setup which may affect the way it is tuned to start with. I always see tuners use simple ones you clip to the tail pipe and do an on the spot reading. Wouldn't a gte computer use the sensors for tuning. Why would I replace one just for a stand alone meter??

standard o2 sensor is only used during light load cruising at a constant throttle. with all aftermarket computers you can and should turn it off completely whilst tuning anyway (which is when you'd be using a wideband) so its very easy to use it in the standard spot. tailpipe clips are easier for tuners because its quicker and the dynos setup that way, on the road its easier in the standard spot.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
