English Translation For Apexi Poer Fc D Jetro Handbook

[Mike Rowe]

Does anyone have or know where I can get the above. The handbook with all my equipment is in Japanese. Pages 13-19 are on where to put the hose connectors in the inlet manifold in lieu of the AFM's, and this I'm particular in need of translation.

Can anyone help pls?

This discussion is for install on twin turbo RB26DETT setup.

English translation for Powerfc? Not gunna happen Mike unless you pay for it yourself as far as I can work out anyway. These Apexi ecus' are touted for domestic consumption only therefore no need for instructions in heathen tongue.

However, having studied my instructions at some length & being in the same boat as you (linguistically challenged) I have come to the following conclusions.

1. Page 15 diag., shows the inlet manifold disassembled but I doan wanna do that.

2. Page 16 diag., shows location of sensor tapping points offset from tdc approx 30degs either side of centre on cylinders 3 & 4, possibly immediately adjacent to injector inserts but definitely on that piece of hardware. (Engine side of throttle bodies) Point 2 on this page gives tapping drill size for 1/8"NPT nipples as 8.4~8.5mm which sounds & measures up good enough.

3. Page 17 diag., goes into some detail to show you that the sensor nipple whilst being drilled & tapped into these locations suggests that you should not screw the nipple in so far as to protrude into the manifold passage & disrupt air/fuel mist flow characteristics. Good idea. Like flush with inner wall is ideal & as far as you should go with fitting nipple. For my money it also suggests you should use a quality heat & solvent resistant thread sealant. I would go further to use a sealant that does not set solid as you may want to remove nipples later & don't wanna be ripping aluminum thread out whilst doing so.

4. Page 19 diag., shows sensor transmitters fitted to injector harness shroud at locations close by cyl 3 & 4 tapping points. Another good idea as impulse lines generally speaking are best kept as short as possible. All good so far but it is up to you to work out how to attach transmitters to injector harness shroud. Some tune shops use cable ties. Tacky but I have not decided what I will do yet.

Because I don't want to disassemble inlet manifold down to the last nut & bolt I am in the process of deciding how to attack the actual drilling of manifold in place. Accurately. Twice. With a big fat metal ripping drill.

There is another option which is to use a FESTO 5mm threaded portion/4mm tube connection (part # 3562, type CK-M5-4) instead of the nipple supplied in which case you can do the deed with a much narrower diameter drill. 5mm tapping size, possibly around 4mm drill size. The internal diameter of both these fittings is around 2mm so no drama there. FESTO products are used most often in the Food/drug production industry on electro-pneumatic control systems. (Know anyone in electro/mech maintenance at the breweries Mike)?

Else Google for Aust., supplier in your area. These fittings come ali or steel. I would pick steel for strength as they are somewhat delicate in you knock them with a spanner.

Anyway whatever I do the first exercise is to precisely mark (centre punch) & drill (pilot hole) for eventual final sized tapped sensor point. To do this I will need a longer than standard twist drill bit & may even hand drill with egg beater arrangement so's to have total control of swarf & when to stop.

Having drilled to final diameter the rest should b a p of p. Apart from small matter of wiring into 2nd AFM input when instructions give physical pin locations & not pin numbers. Just have to trust 'em I guess.

PS: I have heard a rumour that some back sliders tap only one hole &/or tee into an existing vacuum line off the manifold but I have yet to discover the exact vacuum point. In any event I am reluctant to part out $200 on something that is plugnplay. Happy to fork out for dyno tuning time but.

See photo's of RB26DETT manifold in place for locations.

Happy drilling.

Graham, thanks for your comments and I am sure you are correct in all instances. I used to have a Japanese boarder for 5 years and now for the first time they could have been useful. Never mind.

If I get anything done I will let everyone know.

On another topic, have you heard anything about JE forged pistons? I am about to build up my RB26 for my Datsun 240Z.

Also BOV's - anything you can recommend (? Greddy R or Blitz etc)?

thanks Mike

Nah, sorry Mike. My knowledge is limited to research into D-Jetro 'cos I bought one & discovered it was all Jap to me. Don't suppose you keep in touch with your boarder? Or his sister maybe? BOV choice would come further down the track when u zero in on exhaust setup wouldn't it. You could always checkout the tech faqs on this forum & then the "for sales" on this forum. There would be heaps of guys out there that could advise you otherwise I'm sure. If they could get over the thought of a 26 in a Z car. Me, I'm up for anything into anything if that's whatya wanna do & may the force of your motor be with you.
