Just a question about how a particular setup works.

When running a Apexi PowerFC with a hand controller and a seperate boost controller (Eboost2) and going from tune to tune, how does the computer tell?

eg 3 setting, 1 at 25 PSI, one at 20 PSI and one at 15 PSI. Do you have to change the boost controller then select a different map on the Apexi or does it auto-compensate with the Air Flow Meters?

Also how is adjustable cam tuning done? Obviosly they do it whilst on the dyno, but is it a matter of trial an error untill you get the best torque curve/turbo spool up?

actually no.. it all depends on the setup on the car. because its a afm based ecu its possible the ecu does not know the difference from 20 - 25psi boost.

make sure your tuner takes this into consideration.

What happens is as boost increases the air intake through the AFM increases, and this in turn outputs a higher voltage to the ecu and tells it which part of the fuel/ignition maps to use. So it doesnt actually know what boost youre running, it just moves to the part of the map that matches the afm voltage and rpm

In other words the tuner will have to tune that one map at all three boost levels, and as you put it, the ecu will auto-compensate for it depending on the voltage it is seeing from the afm

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
