hey guys

i just installed an avc-r to my r33. but im getting really high boost in 5th my boost settings at 51% duty

and 1.30bar,

all other gears are fine but in 5th it often reaches 1.8 under full load. to counter this i set the 5th gear duty

down 20% in order to control, but its really unstable and fluctuates btw .8 and 1.2 bar?

cheers

Maybe try increasing 5th gears feedback?

Maybe try increasing 5th gears feedback?

ive set all of them at 2. ive heared that if i increase it will decreases stabitity because the solenoid

will over correct it self? wat have u set urs at?

Have you tried playing with the gain?

gain, as in start duty?

if so i have set 5th gear start values at -20% in order not to reach 1.8bar but it isnt stable and fluctuates btw .8 and 1.2.

Mine was around 2/3 to start with but I actually have them set to around 5 at the moment, with 1st and 2nd gear set at 7ish. I am still playing around with different settings but since i set them higher the car has been sticking WAY closer to its target boost. The feedback as far as I understand is how often it samples and corrects, which (how I interpret it) means it can provide abrupt boost level changes if you have a good external wastegate setup. I have an internally gated GT30R which seems quite lazy about its behaviour, so having the boost controller "all over it" seems to help it build up boost faster then level off better once it has hit the target boost level.

I recommend at least playing around and finding out what works for you, as different things definitely seem to work better for different setups.

    • I dunno man, that VX S with 200,000 k's is still hanging out for 1.5 I reckon the R34 is the better buy, personally.
    • Dang, doesn't even include on roads.
    • Only in a market where OBD was a thing. The rest of the world was quite happy to let the US EPA only affect US cars for quite a while. The* problem with datalogs is that unless you are very familiar with what every trace should look like, on their own and as an ensemble, you can and will see weird shit that can and will lead you astray, not realising that what you are seeing is the normal consequence of various transient inputs. *Really, "a" problem, as there are of course many other problems too. Look, these cars are so bloody simple that if it is missing or stumbling, the obvious thing is to break out the old mental diagnostic list and just go do all the things that you know you should. After proving that the plugs are clean and sound, ditto the coil stalks, coils, loom connectors, etc, and then making sure that there is fuel pressure at about the right numbers (while driving!, not while sitting in the garage free blipping it), then maybe you go looking at AFM voltages, manually testing the igniter, putting a scope on the CAS, etc. Then you're into pulling the injectors for a spray pattern look-see and perhaps a clean, squirting carby cleaner around the inlet manifold looking for leaks, and all the more annoying and esoteric, but still common as muck faults that these things have. I wouldn't ever bother looking at the trims, as they are usually bullshit on these old clunkers anyway.
