Just a question about how a particular setup works.

When running a Apexi PowerFC with a hand controller and a seperate boost controller (Eboost2) and going from tune to tune, how does the computer tell?

eg 3 setting, 1 at 25 PSI, one at 20 PSI and one at 15 PSI. Do you have to change the boost controller then select a different map on the Apexi or does it auto-compensate with the Air Flow Meters?

Also how is adjustable cam tuning done? Obviosly they do it whilst on the dyno, but is it a matter of trial an error untill you get the best torque curve/turbo spool up?

actually no.. it all depends on the setup on the car. because its a afm based ecu its possible the ecu does not know the difference from 20 - 25psi boost.

make sure your tuner takes this into consideration.

What happens is as boost increases the air intake through the AFM increases, and this in turn outputs a higher voltage to the ecu and tells it which part of the fuel/ignition maps to use. So it doesnt actually know what boost youre running, it just moves to the part of the map that matches the afm voltage and rpm

In other words the tuner will have to tune that one map at all three boost levels, and as you put it, the ecu will auto-compensate for it depending on the voltage it is seeing from the afm

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!
