Hello all,

I replied in the Apexi PFC FAQ thread as well..

My car is running really rough, the idle is low and its unstably jumping a few rpm while on idle. Can some one help me out here please? I have set the Injectors in the PFC to 74% correction and +0.04 latency but its still no good. :)

Is there something I am missing?

I have never played around with the PFC settings before.

although not entirely the same i installed gtr replacement 550cc injectors in my rb20det. adjusted them on the powerfc and it ran ok but fuelly. idle tracked around a bit but not bad really for a 50% adjustment. a dyno tune fixed it nice.

if you can drive it to a tuner do that. i know where you're coming from on the labour thing

Unforetunately I will have to install the old injectors to be able to drive it, the idle is all over the place :)

What did you adjust in your PFC settings? All the tutorial says to do is adjust the Injetors to 74% and +0.04

well you'll have to get it on a dyno to get it runnin right anyway (i think), so you can either reset the ECU and let it learn to idle, then take it to a tuner for a complete remap, or just take it to a tuner and let him make minor adjustments to the main maps, then maybe mess around with it to try and get it to idle.

im not completely sure on the retuning thing just for bigger injectors, but its just what i'd do

After the injectors problem I installed cam gears and after replacing everything back onto the engine it was running worse.

Took it to a tuner and got it fixed up. My problems were not with the PFC tune that I did myself initially. From what I can see from the tune, the settings are pretty much what I had when testing it. Must have been something about what I did, but I will never know....

Moral, don't do it yourself if your me :)

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
