Faq: Apexi Powerfc - Frequently Asked Questions
Waldo replied to paulr33's topic in Tutorials / DIY / FAQ
hey guys just wondering...i just got my r32 gts-t power fc...just wondering what u guys think of the power fc boost controller kit...are they really accurate and reliable...i heard that the avc-r's sometimes boost spike...this is one thing that i deffinately dont want...will the power boost contrller kit do this -
ok i have done the test with the greddy cans....i have a 1L Genuine greddy catch can in my r32. Its only hooked up to the exhaust rocker cover and the inlet is still connected into the plenum...My catch can is hooked up so it goes back into the inlet......Anyways after the last track day i did..(a fair bit off trashing involved) when i got home i noticed the catch can was around 1/5 full...the pipe that came from the motor to the catch can was just that golden brown oilly colour...but then the hose that went from the can back to the inlet was absolutly spotless....this just tells me a hollow can does its job perfect..you dont need baffles and steel wool! i think from the turbulence of the blow by gas going around inside the can the oil particles will stick together to form bigger particles then fall to the bottom off the can....thus how these cans work... regards luke

removing hicas all together.

you probably can but by changing the rear subframe from the hicas to no hicas you wont be losing any more weight than just putting a lock bar on and stripping all the power steering shit outta the car. -
how do you hook up one on the r32 is it fairly simple like plug it in cut a few vaccum lines and stuff like that...like if i buy one does it come with installation instructions on how to wire it to my r32 or will it have instructions for any car

droppping price on monitor to $250...anyone want it???

hey guys...just wondering what boost controller people use with the r32 rb20det power fc...should i use the electronic power fc boost controller...atm i have a turbosmart manual one..can i still use this boost controller or is it better off going with a differant one... regards luke
-
lol it comes with a remote if that helps
-
to much stuffing around in setting up the e manage, i think...i just went all out and bought a power fc. much easier to setup and its plug in and works everything like a stock computer
-
no it is not a touch screen. i dont know why you would want to touch it..lol

am selling monitor for 300 firm!

in my r32 the steering lines that go to the steering column only they dont go to any soleniods or anything that an electrical connection goes to....the only thing that uses an electrical connection is the big valve thing near the oil filter but that only controlls the rear end steering...not the front..so taking the computer out shouldnt affect the steering of the front because its all hydraulic its not electrical...there is no sensors telling the any part of the front steering to get heavy.....anyways i replaced my ps pump with an rb30 one...i had to change the pulley on it because the harmonic balancer on the rb20 has 3 grooves in it for the belt where as the rb30 pump only had a 2groove pulley...then i used an s14 steering resoviour (which fits perfectly)...and removed all the other shit that has to do with the rear steering....this was all the lines, ecu, valves solenoids....everything...so now it just works as if it is a normal power steering car..it has never gone heavy with the ecu removed... just my 2 bobs worth regards luke

removing hicas all together.
Waldo replied to NZM.031's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
well what i am doing is..(i have a r32)....swapping the power steering pump with an rb30 one (have to change the pulley though on the front of it).....installing a lock bar...and ripping all the other lines valves computers and all the other stuff....i also just went and got a S14 power steering resovior cos its plastic and doesnt have all the outlets the hicas one does...this way is more expensive but thats the way i want it....nice and neat.. -
will take offers????

-
nah a might boy ute with sr20det, with t88 strapped to it, and the biggest slicks you can fit to the thing...maybe think of tubbing the rear end becuase it like a micro car..
-
the same happened to me...my dad is an electrician and we tested everything (the left headlight was gone) fuses, relays switch bulbs, were all perfect, we redone all the connections at the headlights, but it wasnt that either it even wasnt an earthing problem for the left light it turned out to be that the active feed to the light had deteriorated somewhere along the line because of the age and maybe the heat gettin to the loom...so we just ran another wire from the drivers light to the left light....but if you do this make sure you only have one fuse to both headlights if you have a fuse for your left and right headlight (not high beams) the right hand side fuse that you will be using will have to be the next amp rating up from what is in there... regards luke

no i dont have a split dump i only have a big hollow one and i do have a cat....would it be a good idea to get a split dump pipe and where from?
-
well i found an old rb30 pump in the shed..and the only differance is the pulley, the hicas has 3 groove pulley where as the rb30 one has 2 groove...and the brackets are the same...so i guess its just a matter of pullling the pulleys off and swapping them
-
is there such thing as a non hicas power steering pump for the rb20?? or is it possible to just swap in a R31 power steering pump from a rb20 or rb20det that had no power steering??
-
i have a practically brand new 9 inch TFT screen with a tv tuner (so you can actually watch TV channels on it). the screen is a dash mount type with 1 usb type plug cable for its power and rca plugs.. and a brand new PS2 (small version) that is mounted perfectly in my glovebox..comes with small light power inverter to run PS2...looks and works percectly...can wire PS2 upto your car stereo so when you watch dvd's you have good sound...everything in perfect condition have boxes for everything with warranties....asking $700 for the lot. will post anywhere.
-
why cant you just install the bar, swap the power steering pump with a non hicas one and change the resoviour to a non hicas one (ie S14 one) then rip everything to do with hicsa out leaving only the lines to the front steering column...and presto you should just have a normal steeering R32.....shouldnt you..what should the HICAS ECU have to do with the front steering once all the valves and shit are stripped for the rear steering??
-
nah atm it hits full boost at 3900RPM hopefully with the cams in it should give it some midrange punch...
-
ill just keep winding the boost up until it hits 300ponies lol
