Wahey!

just tested my controller and its working.

Now need to fit it in the car, but as allways here in the uk its friggin raining!

Hetz

Of course it's raining - it's your summer time! Wait a second, it rains in winter too!

Just joking, though I always found it strange (when I lived in London) that people were complaining about how hot it was when it (rarely) got into the high 20's! :-)

Hi guys,  

just had a quck query i just finished building my kit, but have one resistor left over.

Its a white block type one it says on the resistor 10w-10RJ

Does anyone know what its for?

cheers

Load sharing for the solenoid, the Nissan solenoids don't need it.:D

load sharing ..whats that

Some solenoids (NOT the standard Nissan ones) don't like being held open for long periods of time and they get hot. So you use the 10 ohm 10 watt resistor in series with the solenoid to "share" the load. That way the solenoid draws less current and doesn't get too hot.:D

PS; for more details refer to page 142 of the book "Performance Electronics for Cars".

ahh k so u use the resitor to drop the voltage across the solenoid ....but then doesnt the ibc switch more than the 3 amps its rated for ?

Ooops, that'll teach me to write things form memory, should be "series". Previous post amended:cheers:

Ah righty!

i might need to use one on mine then, i dont have a nissan, i have a rover. Still havent got round to fitting it in the car yet. Im hoping it will work well, as the rover doesnt use a AFM, it just relies on a map sensor.

right,

I got my controller fitted in the car but am having problems reading a injector duty cycle :huh:

With just the power to the unit, led 1 and led 2 are lite up on the board? i thought only led 1 was supposed to light up?

Ive tapped the injector wire and i dont get any reading at all on the controller? also the led just stayes lite up?

any clues as to whats going on?

cheers for you help

Make sure you are using the correct wire on the ECU pin outs, it is soooo easy to use the wrong one.:huh:

I am having problems with my Jaycar ebc. Car is r33 gtst

The unit is working fine. I.e. it reads the injector duty fine, the display works fine etc, I can change the solenoid duty cycle and I hear it clicking quicker or slower.

I believe there is a problem with my plumbing. With the solenoid fully open, I have no boost control. In 1 second, from 5psi, it went to 15 psi. I will be more careful in the future not to over boost again.

I am running a vent size of 1.2 mm.

I believe that I have the vent plumbed into the wrong place. I plumbed it where the stock solenoid bled to. However, I am also unsure if it was plumbed to the right place, as the hose had been changed to a blue hose by the previous owner.

Reason I believe it might not be venting to the right place? with the vent blocked off, i.e. plenum > solenoid > waste gate, it works fine. changing the solenoid duty changes the boost build and max psi it reaches.

however, with the vent connected, it has no boost control. Therefore I have come to the conclusion that the vent is reliving the pressure that should be used to open the waste gate.

I have it plumbed as follows:

intake > bottom nipple of solenoid

top nipple of solenoid > t piece

t piece nipple 1 > waste gate

t piece nipple 2 (1.2 mm hole) > bov return pipe.

Questions:

1. which of the solenoid nipples is the in? it's the bottom one right?

2. what is the problem with my hose plumbing? Is the vent in the right place? Is it meant to be connected to the bov return pipe?

So why don't I have boost control? the difference is simply vent = not working, no vent = working fine. Therefore I assume it has something to do with either the vent size or where it is connected. a 1.2 mm vent is already very small.

Cheers

As per this previously posted picture (on page 2 of this thread)

JaycarBoostControllerVacuumHoseLayoutSmall.jpg

As you can see the boost feed (from the intercooler pipework) goes into the top fitting on the solenoid.

The bottom fitting on the solenoid goes to the T piece. The RHS of the T piece goes to the wastegate actuator. The hose coming of the LHS of the T piece has the vent in it, that hose goes to the inlet pipe of the turbo (in combination with the standard BOV return).

As a clarification, back on page 16 of this thread I posted this diagram;

IEBC_Hose_Layout.jpg

As you can see from the above diagram (page 136 of the Performance Electronics for Cars) the size of the "vent" determines how much airflow goes to the wastegate actuator. If the vent is too big, not enough air flows to it and the diaphram doesn't move (open the wastegate) and you get no boost control (it just keeps going up).

The first thing I would do is run the vent to atmosphere, as it is in the above diagram. Then see if the IEBC controls boost OK Don't forget to block off the hose.

Hope that is some help

has anyone tried this fuel adjuster kit, like a vine pressure controller?

eg get a gm2bar map sensor or similar and rem map for map sensing replacing the afm altogether? gm's run 0-5v like most map sensors,

a map semsor must have a similar voltage curve to a afm?

low volts under vacume or low loads, higher volts under high loads or boost? this also would work fine in closed loop mode? any input from anyone thats tried it? may be a much better alternatve for me, im running twin turbos with a rb20 ecu and dont want afms, or to change to a rb26 ecu and run more wires for the rear afm,

AFM's are the best load source by far, MAP sensors are not even close. Because you can have the same pressure at different loads, only an AFM can tell you the CORRECT load. My advice (as always) is to use the best load sensor, and that's an AFM.

As for the problem of running wires for the extra AFM, you don't have to. Simply parrallel up the outputs of the 2 X AFM's and feed that via the standard wiring harness. The ECU sees the movements in the voltages of the 2 X AFM's as a single change, so you tune as you would if it had only one AFM.

:) cheers ;)

I am up to the stage of calibrating the DFA. I am not able to change the volage with the test pot, I tried to wire it up like FIG.6 in book, but I am not sure if its right? I've got it connected to the car battery and it reads 12.5V, try to get it to 12V with test pot but does not change V at all? As pic shows how I had it set up, is it wrong? any sugestions? Thanks

post-17478-1123499684.jpg

The DFA has to be actually "on" to get any output, so if you set the DFA to turn on at 14 volts (car running condition) you need to apply 14V to get any output.

I had it set to under 12V so it was on with red LED on too.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
