Hey mate, top work on the FAQ!

just a note, I think the injector info is abit messed up and could be confusing?

  Quote
To work out new INJECTOR correction and latency;

Old SIZE / New Size = Correction

Old Latency - New Latency = Latency Correction

John plans to install 600cc injectors into his RB26 VL Turbo. The following figure's are used;

444 / 600 = 0.74 * 100 = 74.0%

0.81 - 0.77 = +0.04 msec

"Old Latency - New Latency = Latency Correction" shouldn't it read "New Latency - Old Latency = Latency Correction" ?

i just purchased a powerfc with a map for a car with similar mods on it, should i reset it and start from scratch with tuning or run it as is and tune from there? any help appreciated

I would say reset

surely its better for the tuner to start from something similar... if i plug the new ecu in and turn car on would it be the same as it was in the other car, eg. just to check if its working or not

what are the mods?

Noob here and stumbled across this thread on google.com.

Great thread! I've previously installed my PFC before and had hesitition during idle and normal cruising, after reading that PFC FAQ I'm assuming it's "hunting" cause I didn't install it right. After reading on how to install it, I have a really noob question. What is aircon and demister? I'm assuming aircon = airconditioner and demister = defroster? I'm totally guessing here, please advise.

hello i have a 95 nissan 240sx S14 the US version of the S14 silvia and i have recently installed a R34 NEO engine in it and i am running it witha power FC . i have since got it up and running and i am now in the tuning stages but i have unfortuantely stumled across another hurdle. in the snesor check function i have a highlighted sensor which i believe is for the traction control system. its labeld as THRM and its reading 5.11 volts...i nologer am running the factory intake plenum nor the factory throttel body i have installed a greddy plenum and a Q45 throttle body...if this is for the traction control system is there a way i can fool the Power FC to make the sensor light go away so i can finish tuning it and get it running the way i like it...please help me out guys...i am keeping my fingers crosses on this one...

thanks in advance

Paul or anyone, can you help me??

I'm running out of flow on the Q45afm (5v maxed)at 18psi. Is it possible to actually wire in 2 AFM to the Power FC say in parallel or would i need to get a rb26 power fc instead??

Oh btw, have rb25 fc running RB30det.

Cheers

Robb

Hi robb,

This is probably the 3rd GT3540 & Q45 combination I have seen that has the AFM maxing out really early.

I am unable to offer much to help the situation. The only thing I can think of is the batch of Q45 most people are getting is the wrong version/model or has different firmware etc.

To run twin afms on the single RB25 PFC you will need to either use the new SAFC II which has AFM duplexing support (twin into single signal) or use the Rb26 PFC.

Using the Rb26 PFC requires a few changes and youll loose the factory VCT. If you have aftermarket exhaust cam gear then its not an issue as that negates it anyway.

EGA4IT has a workaround for this issue we have had on our stageas.

Ah ok, might look into something like the new safc. Saying that it might be a good idea to do the 26 thing, don't have VCT anyway RB30det and prob won't cost much to change over, only thing is getting it tuned again.

Thaks for that paul, wealth of knowledge, might have to take you up on that 26 offer.

Hi, i've just installed my new PFC and all is okay, haven't got it tuned as yet, but seems to be working fine. My problem is that i don't get any knock reading, on the monitor screen its just got "knock l" and thats it. Doesn't change when idling or driving. I have checked to to see if it is on and by my guess it is. Any help Paul?

go into monitor, then 1 channel and move to knock and press next.

you won't get a number to show, it will be a bar graph. press up, right or down (dont remember without doing it) and it will show you the maximum you have hit on the right of the bar graph.

    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
