Hi,

I recently installed power fc with commander to mycar, and it idles fine. But when I took it for a drive and when I brake, the car stalls. Even during idle, I reved it to 4000rpm and then brake hard, it stalls again.

Is anyone know what to adjust in the powerfc or what else should I do? any tips will be appreciated..

Thanks

Question?

Do you have dump valves fitted at all?

Matt.

Re: Question?

Matt.

Yes I do. HKS ones...

I'm gonna have someone tune it for me when I have the time. Now I just want to be able to drive it around....

thanks

Stalling

A lot of cars with external dump valves stall, it's the way they effect the Airflow Meter Readings.

Everything was fine before I install the power fc. Before the power fc, I had stock ecu and S-afc. Nothing was change, and every upgrade is the same too before and after power fc.

so I figure that I need to change something on the power fc setting...any tips?

thanks

Do you have the APEXi Boost Kit fitted ?

In the etc. menu you will find the options to enable / disable the knock warning, AFM warning Inj warning, Boost kit and some others.

If You DO NOT have the Boost Kit, You need to set the Boost Kit option to OFF (in the Japanese) else your car will run like a pig.

Easy (I hope)

You probably have the incorrect airflow meters selected, go into the menu that says something like 'Airflow meter type / selection?' and select the "BCNR33 70mm type".

 

[Sveilside]

Thanks for all the tips,

Jason, I do not have the boost kit and yes I did disable/turn it off.

jr, I have the selection to "bcnr33 normal".

I guess I'll have to use the stock ecu and s-afc back for now...

Why don't you give it a bit of a tune yourself?

Try upping the revs for the deacelleration injector cut recovery.


or retard the timing at the map point you want it to idle on.
I'm sure if every one on this forum put their heads together you can tune it yourself...

How hard can it be?

[Sveilside]

Glen, I did try upping the rev on the f/c but still could not fix the problem. I haven't tried retarding the timing though....how do I retard the timing? is it the ignition map? do I decrease the number or increase it?

sorry with all the very basic questions.....

I spent about 10+ hour in the garage doing trial and error still could not figure it out. It might be all the upgrades that I have makes it more difficult to tune

I wish I have the time to go to LA to tune it.


Thanks

Kind of sounds like the injectors aren't coming on early enough.

When you take your foot off the gas, the computer cuts the fuel.
FC/1 and FC/2rpm setting is the revs when the fuel gets turned back on again.
one is for no electric load and the other for slectric load on (like fans or aircon).

What is the fc/1 and fc/2 set at?

It's on the rev idle menu.

Rev limit
fc/1 1250???
fc/2 1350 ???
idle 1
idle 2

And is function select 4 o2 feedback on of off?

Retarding the timing at the spot on the map where you want it to idle is used to stop a car hunting...probably not applickable for your problem.

Glen,

Here's what I have in the powerfc:

Rev:

F/C 1 1550 1250
F/C 2 1600 1300
Idle 1 1450 1000
Idle 2 1500 1050

I tried those sets and others too. I have to set the idle above 1000rpm cause I have HKS step 2 cams.

in the ECT:

1 boost cntl kit off
2 Inj/Air f on
3 knock warning on
4 02 F/B control on (tried off too)
5 02 sensor reg off


sorry for the late reply

thanks

Is it Auto or manual?

Glen

 

[Sveilside]

Glen,

Its a 5 speed manual.

here the spec:

1995 R33 GT-R V-spec
HKS step 2 head system
HKS GT2835 turbos kit
700cc Blitz injectors
HKS exhaust, intake, I/C, BOV

I know I need some serious tuning to do, but I just want the car to be running okay with powerfc first. Like I posted before, the car runs fine with stock ECU and S-AFC before the powerfc install (same upgrades/spec). So, it has to be something about the powerfc.

Thanks for all the help

power fc mapping

have you worked out the % setting for the injectors if not it will not run right.

best you call RB MOTORSPORT

LOL @ Keith, There goes your comission

Thanks

Are you in CA? XS Engineering are (I think) the only Apexi dealer in the US using the Apexi Excel/FC Pro software with a laptop link for the PFC. They are at:

XS Engineering
18062 Redondo Circle
Huntington Beach , CA 92648
Phone: (714) 698-8300
Fax: (714) 698-8301

If you're not in CA, may be worth speaking to them anyways.

One thing I can't understand is how the car has been running on the stock ecu? I can only presume it's not actually the stock ecu but one that's be 'chipped'....?

Peter.

 

[Sveilside]

Peter,
thanks, I got the PowerFC from them (XS engineering). I'm planning on having them tune my car when I get the time to drive down to LA. Eric, the XS guy, is the one that tune all the fast GTR in the US.

The car was running stock ECU and S-AFC before the powerfc. Yes, it runs fine with that combination.

Hi Sveilside,

Did you have any luck getting your PowerFC to work ok with the external BOV's as i'm planning on getting external BOV's myself at some point and I am using a PowerFC as well?

Cheers,
Mike
