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

    • The connector led to nowhere, are you talking about which wires it was spliced into? 
    • I'm about to go nuts. I tore apart the interior dash to trace back the headlamp wire to see if anything looked strange.. but nothing... everything looked perfect in the interior. I reluctantly grabbed my floor jack to jack up the car, removed the wheel, and I checked under the inner guard linings, but everything looked just fine.. There wasn't anything super obvious that was melted or bare wire touching metal. Everything was wrapped in the factory electrical shroud. If the headlamp wire was shorted somewhere inside the factory electrical shroud, i would have to unwrap the entire 3 inch thick cord from the drivers seat all the way to the fuse box in the engine bay to find the damn short.  I took a break and sat down to contemplate life and i wondered if its the relay. So i took the headlamp relay out and was googling how they work, but i couldn't find too much info on the 6-pin.  After about 10 minutes, i checked the headlamp socket to see if it was still being shorted to ground, and miraculously, it wasn't. I plugged everything back up and the headlamp is working now. I just have to put the interior back together.  but this part is the worst part, because i have no idea what i did that fixed it. I wiggled some wires around all over and now the short is gone..  Could it have been a bad relay?   
    • PRICE  : $1400 LOCATION   : NSW Central Coast FIT  :  All Nissan 350Z type Z33 and Infinity G35 Coupe. See delivery note. Hi, brand new, unused, still in the box.  ($1850.00 is what i paid ) My bad luck !!! I thought my right front  Bilstein was cactus so i bought the ST 's to replace all.  Turns out the right front is fine ( loose mounting after service  by a well known importer of Bilsteins ) So im selling the ST's. They are made by KW ( no intro needed ) . Iam on the Central Coast and im willing to meet up in Sydney metro, within reason and Newcastle.
    • Yep, yeah would need to do the flywheel although the 6 bolt NA clutch can handle a 20de if just wants to replace the stocker.
