Hey guys.... ive done some searching but unable to find an answer..hoping someone will know

Im running a r32 with an exhaust and airfilters.. pretty much stock...

I have remove the boost resrictor and running 14 psi perfectly for the last 4 months

I install a power fc (afm model) yesterday and the car wont boost past 5psi... any ideas?

Thanks

What he said ^.

I would say, given the unknown origin of this PowerFC, we will assume for the moment that it is 2nd hand and has a tune in it for some other car. It could be set up for massively different sized injectors to what you have (ie they'd likely be larger than yours) and so your mixtures and quite possibly your ignition timing would be waaaaaaay wrong. If you starve an engine of fuel that badly, be thankful that you only managed to get it to 5 psi and didn't burn through something.

R32 GTR runs 10psi actuators standard, which means the MIN boost to open the gates is 10psi.

Doesn't matter what setting a boost controller has, so unless the gates are powered by an external air supply the min they'll open at is 10psi.

I'd be looking at tune, do a data re-init and start again.

I'd check the opening pressure of your actuators too, might have some dodgy actuators fitted.

Boost on.

Don't worry about the fact it could have a totally gumby tune in it. what's a dyno run vs engine rebuild cost analysis?

Did you ever think it could possibly be a brand new untuned PowerFC that only has the base map on it?

A base map is so you can drive it onto a dyno and tune it properly

It is also possible to reset a second hand PFC back to a clean base map

Yes - DATA INIT on ETC menu

btw, if everything else on your car is stock(ish) you can drive with that PowerFC base map as long as you like, it wont hurt anything as its set up for stock injector sizes and stock timing.

No mate, but out of the box its looking for the Apexi boost control Kit which isnt installed.

Justin turned off the option and his car is now going ok :)

Similar thing happened when I put a PowerFC on my RB25

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
