PowerFC: Ran out of Load Points.

Hi ppls,

Bl4ck32 and I have an AP Engineering R32 RB20DET PowerFC.

We have ran in to issues (Bl4ck32 Specifically) where the load points are being maxed out preventing more boost and power.

We are both running RB30DET's, using the R32 RB25 head and RB30 bottom end.

I am making 176rwkw and Bl4ck32 is making 200rwkw.

I use load point 19 to make this powe rand Bl4ck32 uses load point 20.

The problem is the PowerFC appears to have ran out of load points. :rofl:

I have replaced my stock airflow meter with a Z32 item, it didn't change the load point used, only the voltage per load point.

i.e The Z32 AFM it now peaks at 4v (thats load point 19) vs the rb20 AFM at 4.9v (that was also at load point 19).

Bl4ck32 is using a Q45 AFM. Same thing, only voltage has changed not the load point used.

So.. The larger (not literally) AFM doesn't reduce the load point used, what can I and Bl4ck32 do now?

What load points are some of you ppls with PFC's using at WOT and what power are you making?

Any tuners out there care to shed any light on our brick wall?

Our Tuner is contacting Apexi to find out what he can do, he has used the Datalogit software previously and said it cannot change the load point scale.

I've attached a pic of the AFM Menu that is located within the Settings menu.

All of the AFM menu AFM items contain the same values.

I am thinking *hoping* this 'may' change the load points used if the 3.84-5.12v is changed from say 100% to 80%??

Similiar to the way a SAFC works.

He said that it cannot change the load point scale, or that it needs some correction added to one of the tables.....me cant remember exaclty :rofl:

The tuner has no issues making 200+rwkw with other rb20's and their PFC's (Chris32) as higher load points at higher rpm = over 200rwkw.

However, I think it does come down to his lack of experience with the rb20 pfc. Generally speaking he does a good job tuning and tunes safe, not to mention he charges bugger all.

The only other tuning shop I would touch down this way want $600 (Tilbrooks).

Others have a reputation of breaking things and or simply not giving a good tune via the PFC.

It appears RB25 pfc's are calibrated differently as at wot and 200rwkw or so they are only hitting load point 15 max. So obviously a lot of head room.

Can ppls check out their Airflow menu? :rofl:

mine goes up to load point 16 or 17 on 9psi - RB30DET with 25 head in r33 with r33 pfc. Does this mean i will have this problem when i finally want to run bigger injectors for bigger boost ? they are running at 90% + atm and im only running stock injectors

interesting...

Mine gets up to load point 16/17, somtimes 18

I wired in the Z32 and selected the Z32 AFM option, otherwise it wouldn't run at all with normal AFM selected

Could it be becasue the AP PFC uses a GTR PFC, and being configured for only the one AFM its using more of the map than it would with 2 AFM's?

I remember in a old Zoom mag they where talking about the fc-logit software being able to extend the map in regards to RPM, but I dont remember it mentioning load

Maybe SK could shed more light, as he runs FC-logit and the RB20 PFC on his R32 RB30 setup doesn't he?

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !

      Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.

      no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
