Hi guys, I am from the U.S. and am in need of some info. I have a rb26 converted to a single precision 6265 turbo, and precision 880cc low impediance injectors. I am trying to tune my power fc d-jetro with datalogit and have ran into a few issues with my tuner. He is familiar with AEM and hasnt really messed with anything quite like this. I am not running any o2 sensors simpley a AEM UEGO, and have tapped the 2 3.5bar map sensors inito the runners of number 3 and 4 after the throttle boddies. This car was a ground up build and pretty much stock motor besides cam gears, headgasket and studs. My questions are as follows.

1. How do I conver the map axis to load and rpm instead of seeing it as P and N?

2. Can anyone email me a base map for 880cc injectors?

3. I used my latency values given for stock injectors and did the conversion for the new larger ones and the msec on them and still my tuner has issues with it.

4. How does the self learning idle work? Do I need the stock o2 sensors functioning at this time? Pretty much at idle it runs 10.0's pig rich and when we try to lean it out either on the injector mapping or injector tables it starts to surge.

My tuner said if he can get a map to download straight to the car with 880cc injectors he can build off that but I am at my wits end and am about to sell it all and go Vipec or AEM haha! Thanks for any help you guys can give.

email me your setup and i will email something that will get you started. The djetro is one of the best rb26 ecu's around,

I would go as far saying that if your new to PFC and VIPEC / LINK the PFC in its std layout is better than the VIPEC / LINK (unless of course your an experienced LINK VIPEC tuner)

ive found on the rb26 its best to use the 5d fuel maps to get any decent type of fuel economy with a big HP setup... all due to the single map sensor picks resolution seems to have more common areas (in cruise) than the PFC's dual map sensor. (that said i would have a Link in my own car because of the extra maps available to me).

stock n1 rb26

precision 6265

precision 880cc injectors

The following are the latency @ voltage values for our 880cc injectors:Open Time Latency (ms) @ Voltage --> 1.63ms @ 8.7v 1.00ms @ 10.4v .80ms @ 12.2v .70ms @ 13.9v .60ms @ 15.6v .56ms @ 17.4v .56ms @ 19.1v .53ms @ 20.9vIf you need to convert the latency values to microseconds, move the decimal 3 places to the right. For example the first value would be 1630 microseconds @ 8.7 Volts.

I would like someone to walk me through how to do the self idle also. right now my car idles good but 10.0's very rich. When we played with the injector mapping it started to lean slightly but began surging bad. Will this happen if we do not do the idle process? Also How does the power fc know how to idle with the 02 sensors no longer being installed on the car? No problems status I am actually about to chuck this damn thing and get vipec seeing power fc is not common where I am from and already have money in it and a tuner. Just trying to get some where with it or get rid of it.

the powerfc is able to idle with working 02 sensors or no 02 sensors, or 02 feedback turned off

depending on the powerfc version and if IDLE-IG is enabled under function select, its usually hard locked to 15deg or 20deg (depending on rb25 or rb26)

you cannot enable the self idle learn feature

it is a once only feature that is enabled automatically when you perform DATA INIT

then next time you turn the car on it runs through the 30 minute self idle procedure

if you skip this procedure, f**k around with the car, drive or it have mangled idle air control, mangled sensors, mangled intake etc then its toast and you must DATA INIT again and re-do the procedure

if you mangle it the usual outcome is instant stall when you tap the throttle or wonky idle

that is, hunting all over the place (rpm stall / rpm hunt) not AFR hunting

My tuner is comfortable with AEM and only used power fc one time years ago. Basically my car was a ground up restoration and so only thing used still on it are iacv and a few other sensors. We want a base map that way we can eliminate the surge issue to the tune or sensor. Also the AFR does hunt when we lean the injectors out too not just the idle. When we leave it like it sits its rich (10.0's) but idles and revs smooth.

emailed you a few starters. First one is good for mid 400rwkw"s second was around mid 300"s

I take no responsibility for them (as they were spot on in the respective cars but on anything else they are just good bases to start from as no two setups are the same) and i have sent them on the proviso they are not to be shared with anyone but your tuner....

a little OT but do you know if the self learn data is saved and loaded with tune files or is it completely seperate and unchanged until a data init?

as far as i can tell it stored on the powerfc unit and is not part of the tune

ie you cant copy the self idle learnt data - if there is data, if that makes sense

if you buy a brand new powerfc

connect it to your car

turn key to ON but dont start it and copy someone else's tune over the top or tune it accordingly

then start the car, you still have to do self idle procured

the only way to start it is to DATA INIT

and then next key on self idle learning procedure

thats the 30 minutes of normal idle, 10 minute air con, 10 minute demister etc

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
