Might give us some price advantages aswell.hehe Thanks, not sure where the stock solenoid is, and I've got a blitz controller installed at the mo. I'll have a look. But if I get you right, there is a plug on the stock solenoid that will match the two pin connector on the A'PEXi solenoid? I was thinking maybe I have to connect the solenoid cable into two of the leads from the MAP sensor.heheWell, it shouldnt be a big problem to start a Nordic A`PEXI dealer To my car the stock solenoid connector fitted A`PEXIs two pin connector. Yeppers.worked for me too. Just had to find the stock solenoid valve, and it all worked out.
Apexi came up with the concept to have a powerful. PowerFC, and the shop would install it and tune it with their FC Pro software. The Commander was designed for the end user to monitor things and make some adjustments. Allowing the engine to make more power without engine damage. FC-Datalogit New Zealand. I've got an Apexi Power FC in my '96 RX7 and i love it! But the commander is a pain to use and there's no data logging! (The same type of plug as the Power FC commander). Plug that lead into the commander socket on the Power FC (just like you would plug the commander into the Power FC). Be careful, line the.
The boost seems a lil unstable though.I set it to 1.05, and it kept the pressure spot on for a couple drives, then flew up to 1.3! So I'm not sure if I've gotten it entirely right.:S heheI just connected COM to the wastegate actuator and the NO to the intake manifold, also connected the NC connector to the intake between the MAF and turbo inlet.dunno if it really matters. Have you figured the boost settings btw? First column is the boost. The second.is it x100 revs?
And the last column.mostly says 255.know what it is? Geez, definately would be nice with an english manual! I have connect the same way as you did but the boost preassure did not rush away like you said.I know that we set the boost preassure low when we started and staid there but I dont remember how low I have only drived my car for one hour this summer with this new ECU untill I blowed a piston So I dont have that much experience yet with Power FC`s boost control. I just got the FC Datalogit and I hope I will understand it all better with this kitt. It cant be worse Have seen this site? This site will help you alot to understand how the Apexi Power FC workhttp://members.dodo.com.au/pau.tm#41.
Well, I havent posted on FA yet,but I have called Apexi and they advised to try and call a local place to see if I could get the paperwork needed.SOOOO. I called XS, and spoke to some guy, very nice btw, tht actually got apex hq on the phone. They advised me that the paperwrk I wanted was nt available in English. Then the xs guy proceeded to advise me that the best course of action was to download the AVCR manual and guess my way thru. Now this is my engine we are talking about, not a small child.

I cannot just go guessing my way thru the things. I definitely do not wat to go messing things up (again).
I need the collective genius of you guys to assist me. I have yet to actually hook it up, that will come later this week when they put my head on. Until then, I need to learn how 2 work this crap. Hmm I didn't find the boost controller in Japanese on either the Japnese or US site. If you could tell me where its at (I looked at the documents section on the US site) However the installation (except wiring) for the solenoid is the same as the AVC-R because the solenoids are the same. According the AVC-R instructions, it comes with a wiring harness that connects the pressure sensor and the solenoid to the AVC-R head unit. Both (solenoid and sensor) are shown in the JDM PowerFC manual, however they don't talk about wiring at all in that manual.
If you don't hook up the PowerFC with the boost kit, the CEL will come on btw you can disable it using the Commander. So thats why I assume its the same with the PowerFC. Pages 54-57 describe that. It looks fairly simple to operate. Starting on page 54 from the big number 1 1. On the main menu select 'setting'.
(#1 in the pic is saying using the arrows to select, #2 to continue) 2. In the 'Settings' menu select 'boost' (the pic is the same but the unumbered one says 'go back', 'return', etc Page 553. This is the boost setting screen. Select the number you want. (The pic on the left from left to right.' Setting number'.'
Set boost pressure'.' Fuzzy logic value??' The pic on the right is mostly the same, but the right button is used to change boost pressure or base duty.) P.S. These are the 4 staged boost pressures btw Once you moved over either pressure or duty, use the up or down arrows to adjust the value. Use the left/right arrows to move between the values and presets. The last box is just telling you how to return to adjust the other presets page 56 On setting the boost pressure.The 4 presets can be adjusted between 0.5bar to 2.0bar.
You can set the boost pressure above the actuator but not below its setting. On solenoid valve duty control.With the Power-FC controlling the boost pressure, the duty control used by the solenoid valve, at the set boost pressue, is how boost is controlled. (essentially saying the boost is controlled by the duty valve you set)This duty control, turns the solenoid valve on/off rapidly and variates the percentage and length of time the solenoid is in the 'On' position and that is how it controls the boost. Duty at 100% and the solenoid is always on, at 0% the solenoid is always closed. On the relationship between boost pressure and Duty.Normally, the pressure is controlled by the actuator. When the solenoid is off it allows boost pressure to reach the actuator. Vice versa for the 'on' position.
Higher the duty, higher the boost pressure and vice versa.the duty value must be adjusted so that it is near the boost pressure. Once the duty value is close enough to the boost pressure, the power-fc will automatically adjust the value. But if the pressure doesn't reach the set boost pressure you must adjust the duty value. Page 57If boost pressure doesn't attain/passes set boost prsssure.If the boost pressure doesn't reach the set pressure a) the duty value is too low. In this situation, adjust the duty value higher, a little at a time.-If the boost pressure is much higher than the set pressure a)The duty is too high, in this situation lower the duty.
Too small a turbo, or unobtainable boost pressure maybe another reason why the set pressure is not reached. Fuel cut when boost passes its setting- If the set boost pressure is exceeded by 0.25bar the PowerFC will cut fuel. To control the boost pressure other than the power-fc.from main menu goto 'etc', -'Function Select' and set Boost Cntl kit to 'no' As long as this option is selected, the Power-Fc will control the boost.
However even if you don't use the boost control kit, The powerfc will cut fuel if the set pressure exceeds 0.25bar from the set value.
