hey everyone

Does anyone know why my car could be kicking back and like a loud noise coming from the exhaust it just started recently so ive changed all plugs the coil pack and done a full service thinking it could be the oil which I was told but made no sense as I only run motul 300v chrono it usually happens on boost but not all the time im currently have a profec b controller and a apexi afc neo( I know its not as good as a power fc)

I have larger injectors 600c upgraded afm z32 larger fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator it seems like the car is running really rich or could it be another issue that I haven't figured out.

If anyone knows the basics of tuning an afc neo please let me know as well as I cant get a booking for a tune till mid june.

Sorry if this Is a stupid question but does + on the afc mean your increasing fuel or the air intake thanks

I can't think how it could be the oil unless having none has caused a failure.

Definitely sounds tune related. The combination you have described plus AFC Neo = monkey purple dishwasher moon dog wonder special long time. ie = it does not make sense and will not work properly.

Do not drive the car until it gets a proper tune.

ok wont do thanks so I take it the neo isn't a good choice with all those mods will I see a difference with a power fc and where is the best place in perth to tune was thinking either hyperdrive or ovaboost anyone have reviews on either of these I use to get hyperdrive to do a lot of work on my silvia and they were pretty good

yeah didn't realise the safc were really restricted to what they can do will be upgrading to a power fc and give it a full tune which should solve the problem and give me the extra power that I seem to missing with it

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
