can someone please tell me or forward me a link on how to work the apexi avcr

 

Go to the Apexi web site. You can download the manual in pdf format for free.

Also, do a google search for AVC-R setup. You will get a ton of sites that have good information on how to set it up. I believe there is a youtube video for AVC-R setup as well.

 

I just had mine installed! Once you get it going, it's great!

 

set your boost target, then adjust your duty cycle per RPM. duty cycle is going to give you the boost and tell the boost solenoid when to turn on and off. its best to do while your on the dyno so you dont get speed tickets and you can see when the boost spikes or if its not enough. if it spikes lower the duty cyle at that rpm and if your not hitting you target boost level at aq certain rpm, then obviosely bump up the duty cycle where it slouches. it takes time to set up but, once you get it set up, do not touch the settings. you have two settings A or B. use a for pump gas boost level, and use B for race gas, n02, methanol spray high boost levels. do you understand?. what else do you need to know?.

 

so i should wait until the dyno. and when im there will i be the one doing it or will the workers know how to work the controller

 

sorry too fall of the map. but yeah if they let you, you could do it. but, if the tuner knows knows the system then let them pre set and do not touch after that!.

 

its quiet simple actually... once u get the hang of it, its an awesome boost controller..


First off.. Switch of learn gear

Then set target boost (bst) and duty cycle.

you will need to do some runs to make sure this early setting it close. The duty cycle is the number that controls how much boost.. Keep on adjusting this until you are very close within 0.5bar from target boost in say 4th gear.

Hint.. std turbo 1.3bar ~55-58%, 1.5bar ~63-67

Make sure you use the monitors availble in the boost controller to monitor it.

Once this is close, turn on Learn mode.
What learn mode will do is adjust the boost curve for taper and spikes..
Again give it some power runs. After 1-2 runs your duty number would become ****. If it doesn't, your duty cycle is too far off target boost.. adjust until you get ****.

you can stop there.. or fine tune it some more..

You can try and boost in every gear and make sure all the gears hold consistent boost. If its not, you can adjust +/-% for different gears via start duty.

If your correction is too slow increase FB value for the gear. It the boost is too gittery you can decrease FB (feedback)


Well this is my understanding anyways...

 

so should the boost be the same in every gear or does it increase with the gears?
exp. set at 1.55 should it hit this in every gear or just say 3rd and 4th
