Hi all, just wondering if any of you guys have a Apexi AVCR running on your GTR. My car is only getting 0.7bar boost even though I've wound it up to 1bar/80% duty. If anyone has one please let me know and maybe we could arrange a time for me to have a quick look :(

cheers

Amaru : thanks buddy, got my PFC tuned with Ed a few weeks ago, car goes really well with the new turbo's but now I want to up the boost a bit.

GZ R33: I'll check the cat thanks for the tip...

check your lines for leaks as one of our cars had the same problem. We ran our own and it fixed it. good luck....Paul...DIRTgarage.

Hehe just check the mechanic installed it correctly. 0.7 bar is just actuator pressure so it isn't doing anything at the moment...

The setup is a bit confusing (well for me it was) this document was very useful, despite having the solenoid on the opposite side of the car.

But be careful, when you go out for a drive 80% duty cycle will spike the boost hard!!!! In my opinion turn feedback off and just do runs at lower duty cycles until you start to get the boost you are after.

Well im a slacker and didnt get the settings :Oops: -- the car is at Eds now if you wanna run up and take a look or call him and get him to read them to you :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
