Hi guys, I am from the U.S. and am in need of some info. I have a rb26 converted to a single precision 6265 turbo, and precision 880cc low impediance injectors. I am trying to tune my power fc d-jetro with datalogit and have ran into a few issues with my tuner. He is familiar with AEM and hasnt really messed with anything quite like this. I am not running any o2 sensors simpley a AEM UEGO, and have tapped the 2 3.5bar map sensors inito the runners of number 3 and 4 after the throttle boddies. This car was a ground up build and pretty much stock motor besides cam gears, headgasket and studs. My questions are as follows.

1. How do I conver the map axis to load and rpm instead of seeing it as P and N?

2. Can anyone email me a base map for 880cc injectors?

3. I used my latency values given for stock injectors and did the conversion for the new larger ones and the msec on them and still my tuner has issues with it.

4. How does the self learning idle work? Do I need the stock o2 sensors functioning at this time? Pretty much at idle it runs 10.0's pig rich and when we try to lean it out either on the injector mapping or injector tables it starts to surge.

My tuner said if he can get a map to download straight to the car with 880cc injectors he can build off that but I am at my wits end and am about to sell it all and go Vipec or AEM haha! Thanks for any help you guys can give.

email me your setup and i will email something that will get you started. The djetro is one of the best rb26 ecu's around,

I would go as far saying that if your new to PFC and VIPEC / LINK the PFC in its std layout is better than the VIPEC / LINK (unless of course your an experienced LINK VIPEC tuner)

ive found on the rb26 its best to use the 5d fuel maps to get any decent type of fuel economy with a big HP setup... all due to the single map sensor picks resolution seems to have more common areas (in cruise) than the PFC's dual map sensor. (that said i would have a Link in my own car because of the extra maps available to me).

stock n1 rb26

precision 6265

precision 880cc injectors

The following are the latency @ voltage values for our 880cc injectors:Open Time Latency (ms) @ Voltage --> 1.63ms @ 8.7v 1.00ms @ 10.4v .80ms @ 12.2v .70ms @ 13.9v .60ms @ 15.6v .56ms @ 17.4v .56ms @ 19.1v .53ms @ 20.9vIf you need to convert the latency values to microseconds, move the decimal 3 places to the right. For example the first value would be 1630 microseconds @ 8.7 Volts.

I would like someone to walk me through how to do the self idle also. right now my car idles good but 10.0's very rich. When we played with the injector mapping it started to lean slightly but began surging bad. Will this happen if we do not do the idle process? Also How does the power fc know how to idle with the 02 sensors no longer being installed on the car? No problems status I am actually about to chuck this damn thing and get vipec seeing power fc is not common where I am from and already have money in it and a tuner. Just trying to get some where with it or get rid of it.

the powerfc is able to idle with working 02 sensors or no 02 sensors, or 02 feedback turned off

depending on the powerfc version and if IDLE-IG is enabled under function select, its usually hard locked to 15deg or 20deg (depending on rb25 or rb26)

you cannot enable the self idle learn feature

it is a once only feature that is enabled automatically when you perform DATA INIT

then next time you turn the car on it runs through the 30 minute self idle procedure

if you skip this procedure, f**k around with the car, drive or it have mangled idle air control, mangled sensors, mangled intake etc then its toast and you must DATA INIT again and re-do the procedure

if you mangle it the usual outcome is instant stall when you tap the throttle or wonky idle

that is, hunting all over the place (rpm stall / rpm hunt) not AFR hunting

My tuner is comfortable with AEM and only used power fc one time years ago. Basically my car was a ground up restoration and so only thing used still on it are iacv and a few other sensors. We want a base map that way we can eliminate the surge issue to the tune or sensor. Also the AFR does hunt when we lean the injectors out too not just the idle. When we leave it like it sits its rich (10.0's) but idles and revs smooth.

emailed you a few starters. First one is good for mid 400rwkw"s second was around mid 300"s

I take no responsibility for them (as they were spot on in the respective cars but on anything else they are just good bases to start from as no two setups are the same) and i have sent them on the proviso they are not to be shared with anyone but your tuner....

a little OT but do you know if the self learn data is saved and loaded with tune files or is it completely seperate and unchanged until a data init?

as far as i can tell it stored on the powerfc unit and is not part of the tune

ie you cant copy the self idle learnt data - if there is data, if that makes sense

if you buy a brand new powerfc

connect it to your car

turn key to ON but dont start it and copy someone else's tune over the top or tune it accordingly

then start the car, you still have to do self idle procured

the only way to start it is to DATA INIT

and then next key on self idle learning procedure

thats the 30 minutes of normal idle, 10 minute air con, 10 minute demister etc

    • I've done this both ways, I'd use the original loom & swap plugs on the engine side as you'll usually end up changing a lot of those anyway. Series 1 is usually non ABS which requires wiring which I can't remember how to do as haven't done it for over 15 years. The auto inhibitor is easy to bypass or in the meantime you can put it in neutral & unbolt it & tape it somewhere in the bay haha, then just wire reverse lights. I'd go straight to aftermarket ecu. A few basics are built in ignitor coils & reverse the CAS wiring, sort the plugs for whatever injectors & IAC-you can use an adaptor for the neo type otherwise the s1 will still work, use the knock sensors that suit the loom & it'll be pretty much running.  
    • This is for an RB20DET. Sorry for not including that. 
    • Welp, this is where my compression lands after my rebuild. Thoughts? I have ~6 hours on the motor. 
    • Well, after the full circus this week (new gearbag, 14 psi actuator on, injectors and AFM upgraded, and.....turbo repair) the diagnosis on the wastegate is in. It was broken. It was broken in a really strange way. The weld that holds the lever arm onto the wastegate flapper shaft broke. Broke completely, but broke in such a way that it could go back together in the "correct" position, or it could rearrange itself somewhere else along the fracture plane and sit with the flapper not parallel to the lever. So, who knows how and when exactly what happened? No-one will ever know. Was it broken like this the first time it spat the circlip and wedged itself deep into the dump? Or was it only broken when I tried to pry it back into place? (I didn't try that hard, but who knows?). Or did it break first? Or did it break between the first and second event of wierdness? Meh. It doesn't matter now. It is welded back together. And it is now held closed by a 14 psi actuator, so...the car has been tuned with the supporting mods (and the order of operations there is that the supporting mods and dyno needed to be able to be done first before adding boost, because it was pinging on <<14 psi with the new turbo with only a 6 psi actuator). And then tuned up a bit, and with the boost controller turned off throughout that process. So it was only running WG pressure and so only hit about 15-16 psi. The turbo is still ever so slightly lazier than might be preferred - like it is still a bit on the big side for the engine. I haven't tested it on the road properly in any way - just driven it around in traffic for a half hour or so. But it is like chalk and cheese compared to what it was. Between dyno numbers and driving feedback: It makes 100 kW at 3k rpm, which is OK, could be better. That's stock 2JZ territory, or RB20 with G series 550. It actually starts building boost from 2k, which is certainly better than it did recently (with all the WG flapper bullshit). Although it's hard to remember what it was like prior to all that - it certainly seems much, much better. And that makes sense, given the WG was probably starting to blow open at anything above about 3 psi anyway (with the 6 psi actuator). It doesn't really get to "full boost" (say 16 psi) until >>4k rpm. I am hopeful that this is a feature of the lack of boost controller keeping boost pressure off the actuator, because it was turned off for the dyno and off for the drives afterward. There's more to be found here, I'm sure. It made 230 rwkW at not a lot more than 6k and held it to over 7k, so there seems to be plenty of potential to get it up to 250-260rwkW with 18 psi or so, which would be a decent effort, considering the stock sized turbo inlet pipework and AFM, and the return flow cooler. According to Tao, those things should definitely put a bit of a limit on it by that sort of number. I must stress that I have not opened the throttle 100% on the road yet - well, at least not 100% and allowed it to wind all the way up. It'll have to wait until some reasonable opportunity. I'm quite looking forward to that - it feels massively better than it has in a loooong time. It's back to its old self, plus about 20% extra powers over the best it ever did before. I'm going to get the boost controller set up to maximise spool and settle at no more than ~17 psi (for now) and then go back on the dyno to see what we can squeeze out of it. There is other interesting news too. I put together a replacement tube to fit the R35 AFM in the stock location. This is the first time the tuner has worked with one, because anyone else he has tuned for has gone from Z32 territory to aftermarket ECU. No-one has ever wanted to stay Nistuned and do what I've done. Anyway, his feedback is that the R35 AFM is super super super responsive. Tiny little changes in throttle position or load turn up immediately as a cell change on the maps. Way, way more responsive than any of the old skool AFMs. Makes it quite diffifult to tune as you have to stay right on top of that so you don't wander off the cell you wanted to tune. But it certainly seems to help with real world throttle response. That's hard to separate from all the other things that changed, but the "pedal feel" is certainly crisp.
