Apexi Power Fc Djetro R34 Gtr


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I just swapped a RB26DETT (R34 engine) into a R34 20GT. I adapted the engine harness to fit with the car and the new engine. Everything seem to be fine according to the commander of the Power Fc but the car starts and then shut down by itself. I am running a Power FC Djetro and the two MAP sensors are connected to the same average pressure line next to the fuel rail. In the instruction manual it tells me to connect one MAP sensor to the 3rd cylinder and the other one to the 4th cylinder. The big problem is that I have to remove the whole intake in order to drill in the throttle. Can you tell me if my problem (engine shutting down) is related to the bad MAP sensors installation or related to something else

Thank you

Niko

ETC

SENSOR SW / CHECK

what items are black?

do you have the boost kit turned on or off? (are u using it)

have you preformed the self idle learn procedure?

is this a new powerfc install ?

if it still fails to idle and nothing in SENSOR SW check is black.

does each of the PIMs have voltage?

try doing ETC, DATA INIT, YES

powering car off

and then starting the car and letting it idle

does it idle then ?

Thank you for your tips. My electronic guy is telling me that their is no pulse for the injectors. Well Their is for the initial startup but then the pulse disappears and theirfore the engine stale.

Okay, We check everything! With a electric drill we were spinning the cam angle sensor so we could see everything. We putted a probe to see the signal into the cam angle sensor (and it work perfectly), the fuel pump is working fine, the spark plugs are firing, everything is working fine, except... The only problem that we realised is that the injectors are only working when the car is cranking. Their is a injector signal when cranking (cold "something") but after the ECU stop sending signals. So we opened and physically check inside the ECU and faked a signal all the way through the injectors (and they were opening!). Now the only issue is the ECU. For someone reason the ECU stops sending injector signals after the start up. We have tried we a used PowerFC nonDjetro and a new PowerFC Djetro. Both of them is giving us the same reaction.

Something strange also happened. Before getting the Djetro, my friend from Japan sent me a used PowerFC nonDjetro BNR34 so I could start the engine before getting the Djetro. So we connected the PowerFc nonDjetro and we faked a MAF signal (because I had no MAFs) and the car started and was running (running like shit but it was running). After a few weeks, I received the Djetro and since then it always did the same problem (starting and then stalling)

Can you tell me if it s a common problem with the PowerFc or something else?!

P.S In the instruction manual it say that we have to connect one MAP sensor to the 3rd cylinder (throttle) and the other one to the 4th. Instead of doing this, we connected the 2 MAPs sensors to the same average vacuum line next to the fuel rail. Could this confuse the ECU for getting the same pressure reading?!

MAP sensor placement will have little or nothing to do with the problems you're describing. Plenty of people have the sensors located where you do without drama.

    • Yeah most people that have heard it said it was fine but it's always had me slightly worried. Oil pressure I can't remember off the top of my head but it has plenty, I run 10w60 You're probably right mate, best get ordering some shims! Guessing Nissan is the best place for them?
    • Just wanna preface this and point out I'm a mechanical fitter by trade but have had very little rebuild/machining experience, but I am keen to learn, hence this project. Bit of a write up here so bear with me, just want to make sure I do this right  I've got an rb30e currently pulled down. Planning on putting a 25 head on it and running it in my s14.  Not chasing huge power so I'm just going to try get away with factory bottom end for now.  Started measuring the crank the other day, realised my budget daytona micrometer set wasn't up to the task (surprise, I know). They only measure to 0.01mm but the Nissan specs are to 0.001mm. Anyway, I started measuring anyway and came away with the mains being inline with the oem spec, as well as the big ends, except for no. 5. I consistently got a measurement of a hair over 49.96mm, where all the others were pretty spot on 49.97mm. The lower spec for grade no.1 is 49.961mm. I'm getting access to some better gear my next days off to double check everything, but in the case that the big end is right on that bottom spec, is it pretty much just a case of straight to the machine shop for machining and oversized bearings? I understand I need to measure the tunnel as well to work out my oil clearance, but it's the different grade bearings in the manual that are confusing me. What is generally the process when one journal would still technically be in spec, but in a different grade?  Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
    • You need to visit Ipswich. Plenty of clapped out R32 and R33s running around here as daily drivers. And when I say clapped out, they're how you'd look at a VN, when it's the year 2010...
    • So I checked this out in the weekend.. and look at this. I remember watching the videos. Finally got to see it in person! BRB. Tissues. Got tonnes of other pics and videos too.      IMG_0171.mov IMG_0113.mov
