ok i am running a rb26 pfc on a rb25, the afm is wired in parallel to a single z32 afm, and the o2 sensors are wired in parellel. my first issue is that when my car ran it idled at around 1500 rpm but it was constant, for some odd reason it perfered to be set on STANDARD r33 and not vg30 afm, now the car would run though. than for some reason the fuel pump stopped getting power so i decided to hard wire it in with a relay, the signal is coming from the radio harness, so when i turn the acc on the fuel pump will stay on, not llike normal where it primes for a second than stops and now when i i try and start it it tries to rev but than it dies out fast, i know the car is super rich since i am using a rb26 harness and the 440s on a single rb25 turbo so i tried to lower the fuel pressure but my gauge broke so i stopped, i tried reseting the pfc and doing the initial startup for idle but it dies out immediabely, i have no boost leaks either, i am stumped how can i lean out the fuel and what can i do to make it idle again, should i put the car in closed loop ? also i did disable the boost control feature too i have a wideband 02 also, and the car never goes 11 afr

Easy fix..

Set it for VG30 and set airflow correction to 50% for all voltages.

That will get it running well enough to just need a 'slight' map tidy up.

Its worth while getting the datalogit on to it to zero out the inlet air temp correction.

i actually have the capability to do the ait sensor since i have one i just need to install it before the TB, but why wouldi set the voltage to 50% ? gunna try it just curious why that would fix it, also i can wire the afms parallel, all he pfc does is take the value and divide by two, it does the same thing with the 02 sensors

im trying to do this atm, having the same problem.

02 sensor averages the sensors so splicing them if fine.

but unsure of this: gtr afm signals are added so for a 25 you splice the 1 signal to the two afm pins (so it doesnt run on knock map and get correct ecu load) but doing this effectively tells the 26 ecu u are taking in twice the air so to correct this turn the voltage down to %50 on fc edit (will also correct ecu idle load point).

CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM THAT WHOS DONE THE CONVERSION?

my issue is when i do that i cant get enough fuel in around load point 7 and beyond and just leans out no matter how much correction i have in.

I think that's because the VQ curve is not a straight line. So just halving the voltage returned by the AFM is not actually halving the "signal". The VQ map is a smooth curve, but if you squint when you look at it, you could approximate it by a line at one slope below 25% load, and another steeper line above 25% load.

If you just halve the voltages, you can try to get it right for one side of that straight line pair, or the other side, but not both.

I would have thought, seeing that the PFC just adds the AFM readings together, that it would be fine to just run 1 AFM, get a zero reading for the other (or some low fixed voltage that you could arrange by just using a resistor to simulate it) and come out the other side correct. As long as the PFC doesn't freak from having proper readings on one AFM and bullshit reading on the other.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
