Power FC D-Jetro? How Hard to tune?

Hi,

We are doing the R33 RB26DETT motor swap into a US Spec 1998 240SX (S14), and we are going with the Apexi Power FC. I know that the D-Jetro uses the MAP sensors, which would be great for the ultimate tuning control, but does anyone have experience with the tuning?

I have talked with several shops in the USA who won't tune it unless we convert to a single throttle body setup. Could anybody share their knowledge or recommend a better setup?

Thanks!

Chris

I would use a standard or Pro PFC with upgraded AFM's with the 6 throttle setup intact, as removing these as you probably already know sacrifice fuel economy, but more importantly off-boost drivability and throttle response.

you have already decided to take the first step in degrading your throttle response and drivabilty by using the D-Jetro, so you may as well convert to a single throttle body as well.

The 6 throttle setup is known to make tuning tricky, as the standard throttle body causes some kind of inlet pulsation which the MAP sensor picks up as rapidly fluctuating air flow - This is why most tuners have trouble tuning this setup, however it is very possible, to tune using this setup as it has been done many times before.

At low RPM/airflow levels/load, tune using the TPS versus RPM with the MAP disabled. On boost, at higher RPM, the pulsations will start to diminish and this is where you use the MAP sensor for tuning inputs.

As i have no experience tuning the D-Jetro, i do not know if the D-Jetro is able to do this, but this is apparently the solution.

Hope everything works out :(

edit: this information is mostly second hand and could be incorrect. this is an internet forum, so i hope i dont need to tell you to check the facts first :)

sorry to be off topic but can i ask why dosnt usa have any silvia s15 cant they import them or anything

None of the Silvia's can be imported as the SR20DET motor does not meet emission standards here in the USA. Motorex has been able to import the Skyline after years of tests, etc. Nobody unfortunately is going to go to the expense of crash testing a $15000 car...I wish they would, it would be my dream car....

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
