you will need the corresponding boost kit loom to suit your car powerfc. the r33 gtst use the 3 pin kit, so you will need to buy this seperately. nengun.com has it. you really should reset it to defaults and get it tuned, it could be risky using someone else's tune, not too mention more work fixing the tune rather than starting again

Hey guys,

Great thread!

I have a question.

On the old Nissan ECU, starting the engine was no problem at all. Sounded like 2 cranks and she lit up every time.

With the Power FC after, a full tune by the Hitman and the 30 min warm up idle setting, it takes about 8-10 cranks to start.

It starts every time, don't get me wrong.

Just thought it strange the standard Nissan did it better than the Power FC

Any settings i could be looking at?

Thanks

Birnie

you need to lower the injector latency for cranking under SETTING

he was having issues with warm start. i too experienced this issue and i think cubes did as well at once stage. he and i lowered the latency under CRANKING for warm water temp. this seemed to fix it.

obviously you think differently? how would u fix it?

I would change the cranking pulse width vs coolant temp - I think it is what you are refering too. Dont think there is such thing as injector latency for crank vs coolant unless you are privy to APEXI software even then I dont think it would exist as I have never found this within a standard ECU and it doesn't make sense. Injector latency doesn't change w.r.t coolant temp on a scale large enough to account for, even for a 32bit floating point system which it is not. It does however change w.r.t battery voltage just as dwell and other vairables do.

Sorry to sound patronising - just tryin to inform.

Hey guys....

I just got the boost controller kit for the apexi and went to install it but came to the solenoid cable and got a little stuck.....

Plugs in fine on the solenoid end but when it comes to the other end dont have much of an idea.. it doesnt fit the original plug and not sure what to do.

Do I have the wrong wire?

here is a pic of the wire.

Oh car is R33 GTST

It's come to my attetion that some people are copying the powerfc faq and using it on their own site/forums. whilst i dont mind you using it, i would prefer a hotlink to my site instead of the text itself. That way when its updated you point to the updated one.

http://www.google.com.au/search?q=GTS25TML...r=&filter=0

geez, great faq. i know how hard it is to write one of these! mega well done.

only note, how are you specifying width for your paragraph tables? i'm finding the text goes over the edge of the screen in firefox (19" screen at 1024x768).

Hi,

I use a Power FC D-Jetro and have just installed Nismo 600cc injectors. I am now getting black smoke out the rear and the engine is idling a little rough.

Just wondering if I can correct this with a little adjustment in the PFC settings?

Cheers :)

EDIT: ok correction, my car is running like absolute shit. Its shanking all over the place, which means to me that I have rooted the AFR majorly :)

***HELP PLEASE :nuke:

EDIT2: ok, found the 'How do I confingure larger injectors?' section. Will give it a go now (coincidently, std RB26er's to 600ccer's :) ).

EDIT3: No Good! :(, just changed the Injector settings to 74% and +0.04ms, still need help.

if its still pouring out black smoke then its too rich

which would indicate incorrect injector settings

or you are calculating it wrong. have you double checked latency and correction?

or you are calculating it wrong. have you double checked latency and correction?

Under Settings > Injectors, I have all 6 set at 74% (default 100%) and +0.04 (defualt 0.00)

Thats all I have changed, is this right?

    • Haven’t had the chance to drive it yet with work being a nightmare, will definitely be doing that at some point this week. got these so that grip won’t be an issue at roll racing  
    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
