you will need the corresponding boost kit loom to suit your car powerfc. the r33 gtst use the 3 pin kit, so you will need to buy this seperately. nengun.com has it. you really should reset it to defaults and get it tuned, it could be risky using someone else's tune, not too mention more work fixing the tune rather than starting again

Hey guys,

Great thread!

I have a question.

On the old Nissan ECU, starting the engine was no problem at all. Sounded like 2 cranks and she lit up every time.

With the Power FC after, a full tune by the Hitman and the 30 min warm up idle setting, it takes about 8-10 cranks to start.

It starts every time, don't get me wrong.

Just thought it strange the standard Nissan did it better than the Power FC

Any settings i could be looking at?

Thanks

Birnie

you need to lower the injector latency for cranking under SETTING

he was having issues with warm start. i too experienced this issue and i think cubes did as well at once stage. he and i lowered the latency under CRANKING for warm water temp. this seemed to fix it.

obviously you think differently? how would u fix it?

I would change the cranking pulse width vs coolant temp - I think it is what you are refering too. Dont think there is such thing as injector latency for crank vs coolant unless you are privy to APEXI software even then I dont think it would exist as I have never found this within a standard ECU and it doesn't make sense. Injector latency doesn't change w.r.t coolant temp on a scale large enough to account for, even for a 32bit floating point system which it is not. It does however change w.r.t battery voltage just as dwell and other vairables do.

Sorry to sound patronising - just tryin to inform.

Hey guys....

I just got the boost controller kit for the apexi and went to install it but came to the solenoid cable and got a little stuck.....

Plugs in fine on the solenoid end but when it comes to the other end dont have much of an idea.. it doesnt fit the original plug and not sure what to do.

Do I have the wrong wire?

here is a pic of the wire.

Oh car is R33 GTST

It's come to my attetion that some people are copying the powerfc faq and using it on their own site/forums. whilst i dont mind you using it, i would prefer a hotlink to my site instead of the text itself. That way when its updated you point to the updated one.

http://www.google.com.au/search?q=GTS25TML...r=&filter=0

geez, great faq. i know how hard it is to write one of these! mega well done.

only note, how are you specifying width for your paragraph tables? i'm finding the text goes over the edge of the screen in firefox (19" screen at 1024x768).

Hi,

I use a Power FC D-Jetro and have just installed Nismo 600cc injectors. I am now getting black smoke out the rear and the engine is idling a little rough.

Just wondering if I can correct this with a little adjustment in the PFC settings?

Cheers :)

EDIT: ok correction, my car is running like absolute shit. Its shanking all over the place, which means to me that I have rooted the AFR majorly :)

***HELP PLEASE :nuke:

EDIT2: ok, found the 'How do I confingure larger injectors?' section. Will give it a go now (coincidently, std RB26er's to 600ccer's :) ).

EDIT3: No Good! :(, just changed the Injector settings to 74% and +0.04ms, still need help.

if its still pouring out black smoke then its too rich

which would indicate incorrect injector settings

or you are calculating it wrong. have you double checked latency and correction?

or you are calculating it wrong. have you double checked latency and correction?

Under Settings > Injectors, I have all 6 set at 74% (default 100%) and +0.04 (defualt 0.00)

Thats all I have changed, is this right?

    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
