Guys,

I have a 33 with a FMIC, 3 1/2 exhaust, POD, Apexi Power FC

I would like to know approx settings people are using in their Power FC as mine is running bad atm... At about 4-5grand under full lead will start surging and exhaust popping noise.

Only running 8 psi atm...

Settings under:

Ign Map

Inj Map

AirFlow

Injector

Boost

Acceler.

Ign/Inj

Cranking

Wtr Temp

Rev/Idle

Now i know these may not work the same as your car thats been tuned, but hopefully will run better than the current settings..

Any help would be great, thanks...

I am going to get it tuned in just under a month, but till then would like to know some settings...

ok, well, when I was in the same boat as you, I ran 11psi and the car ran fine. Maybe the extra boost helped the car lean out a little and run better.

I had 0 knock, so I'd suggest gapping your plugs, and gonig for a drive and watching your knock levels. If it starts knocking, wind the bost back 1 psi slowly till it stops or is under 20% knock.

Be very careful thought, if it knocks, BACK OFF the f**king throttle. Adjust the boost right away.

But the best thing, get it to a tuner asap. I did, and now I am running 210rwkw, as opposed to 140rwkw with the standard pfc maps.

Standard pfc maps at 13psi gave 160rwkw. Not bad I say.

if your getting a bad run or surge then watch the knock and turn the boost down till you get it tuned or at least the afr's checked. you shouldnt need to adjust any of those settings as the defaults are fine for most cars

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
