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.

    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
