set up my Apexi AVIC-R. ?

 

Spent to much time reading the instrcutions and now more confused than I was before I started :headvswal

 

Would be good if it was in the South, lol

Couple worth a try.

A local guy near me, performance tuning southern. 01903 734603 Chris.

never used him myself, but he works alot on the skyline and 200zx forums.

Jap specialist on all cars. Does mad refits like rb26 into a 200. comes recommended.

 

Also a new rolling road. West Sussex rolling road 01903 731194, dont know his name, but it was set up by the guy who owns Surrey rollin road.

Always lots of high performance cars there. Plus he set up my mates Noble M12, with all electrics and engine. very very powerfull.

Might be worth chatting re a club rolling road day. I would be up for it, and i could muster another 4 0r 5 zeds.

Properly setting it up involves several hard acceleration runs so If you want a garage to do it, then your best off choosing one with a Rolling Road.

 

That way it can be setup on the RR, instead of a stranger ragging your car up and down public roads.

 

Alternatively I wrote a short Electronic boost controller setup guide some time ago, here is a copy :

------------------------------------------------------------------

SET = The desired boost setting (as a percentage 0-100% (OFF to MAX Boost available).

 

GAIN = Boost response/consistency. Too low will mean its slow to boost and boost may fall of at higher rpm and too high will cause spiking.

 

SET GAIN = Is the lowest pressure that the EBC will wait for before building boost. You want this to be around 3psi less than the boost setting your after.

 

WARNING = the Max boost you do not want to exceed.

 

LIMITER = the the percentage boost that the EBC will limit boost to if the Warning is exceeded. Should be about 5% less than the SET number.

 

Instructions

 

First change it from Kpa to PSI according to instructions.

 

Set WARNING to your desired boost pressure plus 1 psi

 

Put the SET Boost on around 30% , and leave the GAIN at 0

 

Put the SET GAIN on 3psi less than your desired setting (so if you want 14.0 psi then put it on 11.0 psi).

 

Take it up the road and in 3rd gear under full acceleration see what boost your getting. Increase the SET Boost by around 5% till you get the desired boost.

 

Then you want to increase the GAIN, start at 5 and go up in 5's. You want to find the point where it starts to spike and then turn it down a little. You should'nt need to go over 20. You may have to reduce the SET a little as you increase the GAIN, just keep an eye on what is happening.

 

Once your getting the correct boost with no spiking you can put LIMITER on around 5% less than what you have set the SET to.

 

Its not specific to the AVC-R, so some terminology may differ (I think i wrote it with the Profec B Spec II in mind originally) , but as an generic guide it may help.
