I've recorded base map for the R32 RB20DET AP Engineering PowerFC.

For those that are curious check it out.

I will post up the modified map once its tuned to suit the 3ltr.

If any one has done similiar I would be interested to check out the RB25DET base map.

Or if you have an RB30DET I would be very interested in checking out its map.

At first I had an issue with Idle.

I took the car for a drive so it was nice and warm.

Pulled the plug off the AAC.

Set idle to 650rpm.

Connected the AAC plug back up.

Reset the PowerFC and took it through its 30min learn.

10min idle, 10min idle elec load, 10min idle a/c.

I now have a 100% repeatable stable idle. No hunting and no occasional 1100rpm idle when pulling up at the lights.

Hmmm interesting, mine idles great with the AAC plug out too. I don't really want to reset the power fc yet and loose my settings. Pity i havent got a laptop so i can record the settings straight into xls. I'll have to do it the long way

With mine the trick was to get the car idling ever so slightly under what its set in the powerfc, i.e not going over the rpm set in the pfc.

My idle vary's ~25rpm up and down. Without the AAC plug hooked up it would idle from 620-640 and some times 650rpm. But not going over.

Then it HAS to be reset to do the learn thing again.

I tried simply adjusting the PowerFC's idle setting up then back down again in an attempt to get it to re-learn however it caused MAJOR idle hunt issues and didn't re-learn.

Write down all your maps, post them here and then fiddle with the idle. :D

Hope it works for you. :)

So back to the Z32.. What you are saying is plugging up the Z32 afm does alter the load readings when map tracing on WOT?

Like now it reads load point 19 at WOT 2000rpm. With the Z32 will it drop that to say for example 17 or 16?

My idle was pretty good when i plugged in the pfc after the learn process.

But then i put the z32 in and i've had to add more fuel to stablise the idle at low rpm, It would hunt around and sit at 900rpm all the time. Now its around 670rpm.

I'm thinking of resetting the power fc again and doing the learn process with the z32 in there.

Yes exactly, as the Z32 can read more voltage your load points will drop. For instance, i am using load point 16 between 4000rpm and 5000rpm and im running 18.4psi. If i drop it back to 15psi, it reads to load 14.

Yep thats right.. Did you take notice the before and after with the stock afm vs the Z32?

Mine with the stock AFM will hit load point 18 from as low as 2000rpm when accelerating from a low speed in second.

The reason I'm asking the question is if I fit the Z32 up will it require a re-tune?

I know what your saying Joel.I installed the Z32 a few days before I got it tuned so i can't help ya there.

Here is my tune with GTR injectors,GT2535 11psi :Oops:

Over 12 on the load it's not tuned so any more than 15psi it has a fit and injectors hit 100% duty!!

    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
