Got an r32 GTR with these mods:

PFC

AVCR @ 1 bar boost

HKS filters

3 inch exhaust from front pipe

Standard turbos, dynoed etc making 210 awkw. I noticed that after the PFC was installed that when im in 3rd @ about 3000 rpm on a mild load the engine misses for a fraction of a second. It doesnt do it all the time, maybe once every 5 occasions im at that rpm and load point.

Has anyone had anything similar? Any ideas on fault and repair necessary?

Cheers.

gidday, Mike in NZ gere , i too have R 32 GTR with a PFC.....Has your one been "tuned" or is it just running on the base program that comes with the PFC?

I ask because when i brought my GTR the PFC was on its base program ( previous owner reset it by accident i think) and the PFC runs a bit lean just as you're coming on to boost at the point you describe. At least it did On mine anyway...around 14.3:1 I think it was. My car also had a slight pause or hesitation here...that was until I made a Techedge wideband AFR meter and did some adjustments :)

When it crossed over into boost it would get heaps of fuel and take off like a rocket giving the impression it was guttless off boost.

I richened up the 2500 to 3500 rpm at around load row 8,9, & 10 to give me an AFR of 13:1 or just under the the response of the engine was dramatic! The off then on feeling of the car disappeared now it just has a smooth power band up until you hit boost then its bye bye everyone :)

Hope this helps mate .

Mike

Thanks Mike. I did get the PFC dyno tuned, got the fuel maps leaned out. It all took about 15 mins and i was surprised how short it was. The guy used the Apexi Commander unit and im told he has done it 1000 times before so he was an expert. It was C & V here in NSW that did it. When i got the PFC installed i only had the full exhaust fitted and on std boost it gave me 180 awkw. After the AVCR was fitted and retuned for the higher loads, its pumped 210 awkw. Im not sure what to do next, whether to see another tuner and have the fuel & ignition maps checked or whatever. The car does feel off under 3500 and its unbelievable on boost and i would be happy if it felt alive all the way thru the rev range. I got the impression that i was being taken for a ride, so to speak, when the car goes into a tuner and i dont want to get ripped off.

sorry for this question but why when you have a PFC did you install an AVC-R when its just a piggy back computor for fuel....the PFC can make all the changes you need can't it?

If you have a fully mappable computor like the PFC there is no need for an AVC-R???????

before I go any further I need to confirm why you installed this?

I beg your pardon prime minister :P was thinking of the Afc... duh!

Ok ....

the PFC need to be leaned out in the top end over 4000rpm and load point 12,13,14 & 15 from the base PFC map. I guess this would be almost standard fare for an experienced tuner like the one you went to , so he/she would know this and do it automatically so to speak. Which explains why it was done so quickly :P

However,

like I said in my earlier post I found that the low midrange was very lean on the std map at 14.3:1 just coming on to boost. this made the car really soft off boost and I found myself having to floor it to get boost and hence power when going up even moderate inclines...

sound familar?

Richening this up did wonders! If you like you can send me the numbers off your fuel map in a grid arrangement from 2000 to 4500 rpm and from load point 5 through to 11. This is the critcal area when tuning for nice transitions between boost and off boost and hence overall drivability.. This type of tuning seems to be best done and the road with a wide band AFR meter so you can feel the effects of your changes, which is what I did.

No I'm afraid not mate....see if you can borrow one from someone. rather than buy a commander save a bit extra and contact the people at FC-Datalogit. They have made a software interface that talks to the PFC just like the professional tuning software the Japs have...except you can read this one :)

Have a look at the site...

I got one and its the best thing I ever did!!!!! heaps easier and more practical than the commander to use and it does full datalogging similar a MOTEC...

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
