Hey guys.... ive done some searching but unable to find an answer..hoping someone will know

Im running a r32 with an exhaust and airfilters.. pretty much stock...

I have remove the boost resrictor and running 14 psi perfectly for the last 4 months

I install a power fc (afm model) yesterday and the car wont boost past 5psi... any ideas?

Thanks

Justin

What he said ^.

I would say, given the unknown origin of this PowerFC, we will assume for the moment that it is 2nd hand and has a tune in it for some other car. It could be set up for massively different sized injectors to what you have (ie they'd likely be larger than yours) and so your mixtures and quite possibly your ignition timing would be waaaaaaay wrong. If you starve an engine of fuel that badly, be thankful that you only managed to get it to 5 psi and didn't burn through something.

R32 GTR runs 10psi actuators standard, which means the MIN boost to open the gates is 10psi.

Doesn't matter what setting a boost controller has, so unless the gates are powered by an external air supply the min they'll open at is 10psi.

I'd be looking at tune, do a data re-init and start again.

I'd check the opening pressure of your actuators too, might have some dodgy actuators fitted.

Boost on.

Don't worry about the fact it could have a totally gumby tune in it. what's a dyno run vs engine rebuild cost analysis?

Did you ever think it could possibly be a brand new untuned PowerFC that only has the base map on it?

A base map is so you can drive it onto a dyno and tune it properly

It is also possible to reset a second hand PFC back to a clean base map

Yes - DATA INIT on ETC menu

btw, if everything else on your car is stock(ish) you can drive with that PowerFC base map as long as you like, it wont hurt anything as its set up for stock injector sizes and stock timing.

No mate, but out of the box its looking for the Apexi boost control Kit which isnt installed.

Justin turned off the option and his car is now going ok :)

Similar thing happened when I put a PowerFC on my RB25

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
