ok

a mate bought a brand new hand controller from kudos - for his sr20det - hand controller came - plugged it in and it froze on the apexi logo.

wrong controller :/ - so sent it back and got another one from somewhere else.

finally came today (second hand unit) - plugged it in and now there is nothing - no freezing, no light up, no picture or writing. nothing. it was supposedly to suit a sr20det.

if any hand controller is plugged in i was under the impression that even if it is incorrect, it will still start up and then freeze on the apexi logo?????

hand controller number is FCCNT 9805 - 0023

BUT!!!!! - i plugged it into my ap engineering rb20det power fc - and it lights up and i can view everything and it works perfectly!!!

My mates SR power FC serial no. is PFC SR202R 9812-033 . this was also bought second hand. And my ap engineering power fc is brand new from box about 2months.

So i was under the impression that brand new units and older units were not compatible with the older handcontrollers???

so wtf??? anyone got any ideas on this situation - as to why the hand controller isnt even lighting up and freezing with this one

thanks

-Matt

According to Paul's FAQ, Apexi product chart says that for an SR20, compatible FC Commanders have a serial FCC NT (1st gen) or FCC FN or FCC3 (later releases).

So it looks like your mate has the PFC that requires a FCC FN or FCC3 serial FC Commander.

let me know once you sort it out, will update the faq if something is wrong

if its not even powering up some else is bogus. if the hand controller is wrong it fails post diag and locks at the apexi logo. open the hand controller and see if its burnt or smells burnt. i suspect its dead or something else is busted.

well thats all it is worth to me, i will pull it apart and salvage the screen and anything else, assuming they arent toast. try and return it back to the supplier as DOA and get your money back, if not throw it in the bin

sorry guys the HC is fine its the pfc thats stuffed i.e water damaged

it doesnt seem to want to power up the HC although the PFC still seems to run the car fine for now

and the HC runs fibe on Huddys FC

Edited by 1400r

bit odd, maybe the pfc socket for the hand controller is toast?

where is the "water damage" idea coming from?

when u open up the PFC do you see any burnt or damaged stuff? does it smell? check the pins running to the PS2 socket for the hand controller

hey ryan post a pic up !

the water damaged seemed to off come in through the plugs for the handcontroller (from memory)

it is just odd that with another hand controller that 1400r had before it DID load up and freeze on the logo, now with this one - it does nothing (BUT works perfect on my rb20 AP PFC)

    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
    • I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators. 
    • At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
    • Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
    • In that case it is probably stock. It lives in the navigator side footwell behind the plastic trim just in front of the a pillar.
