apexi avc-r

subiespike · 06-20-2009, 04:01 PM

just installed a apexi-avc-r today and i am trying to set it, and i am having a little trouble. i currently have a fp 16g with all supporting mods. Is there anyone that could tell me what duty cycle i should be at and what boost level? i have it a 1.3 bar right now, and 75 percent duty cycle, but just doesnt feel right. any suggestions?

What are you trying to accomplish with it?

just want a steady hold of about 17.5 psi. i took off my hallman mbc, and swithed to this but im having a hard time tuning this one...

My advise would be to take it off, buy a GM 3-port BCS and properly tune your ECU.

i have a tune on my car, with my access port. yes i know i should just let the access port controll boost, i dont reach full boost until about 4500 rpm's. so lets just try answering my question, lol.

Boost control on a modern car like a WRX is not really "set it and forget it" like you could on older turbo cars. Your ECU uses both open loop and closed loop systems and adjusts timing, fuel, and boost dynamically. In other words, you're playing with fire scarecrow.

If you have to even ask questions like this, you're in way over your head. Take it to somebody who knows what they're doing or better yet, take it off.

yea i just took it to my tuner and had him do his thing to it. Since my last tune i had put some other mods on, like fmic, EWG, samco inlet pipe. It put down 305.0 whp, and 284.3 torque. she runs great now.
