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

    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
