Ok I lost power in my car and my boost controller lost all it's settings. It was in the car when I bought it and now I have to set it back up. There is a setting for a rotary or piston engine. Also it talkes about the duty cycle and I have no idea what that is or how to set it.
I have the old apexi AVC-R not the pretty blue one.
So if anyone has experience with this B.C. please let me know.

Thanks,
Josh

 

anyone?

 

I have no XP with that system at all, but if I was a betting man I would set it to rotary to start

 

LMAO!! Well I was hoping that this new post would answer my questions.
But....................even better I got a good laugh out of it.

 

wait so your telling me that RX7s have rotary engines???

 

If you don't have it, Apexi has the whole manual to the old AVC-R on their website - http://www.apexi-usa.com

Most times for RPM type setup you can just use 4-cylinder - the RPM trigger is the same.

I don't think there's that much you set up on the old unit - the new unit has crazy options . But you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers....

Yeah I plan on getting the new one this winter!
Well the one setting that I am not sure off is the duty cycle setting. I dont even know what it is and I dont want to ruin anything.

Thanks
Josh

 

remove it and buy a ball and spring manual one for like $25... you don't seem to understand anything on your car so start by making everything simpler. the manual will work just as good.

 

Ok well the thing is. I am trying to learn.
If I am not mistaken that is what this forum is for. So far I have learned alot about how the turbo system works. But I know I have a long way to go, but you have to start somewhere right?

Listen man I really appreciate your advice and I am sorry that I dont know that much about my car.
The thing that sucks is that the mods that are on the car where on it when I bought it. So to fix anything the manual doesnt do me much good. I have been reading the manual at work for the past week!
If I can get this boost problem figured out I will be totally happy.
I would be more than willing to pay someone who does know what is going on but there isnt anyone that is within 3 hrs of my house that knows anymore than me about my car. So I am **** out of luck as far as that goes.

 

is there a new ver of the avcr? I have a digital one about 1.5 year old.

 

No not that I know of. I am talking about the pretty blue one that is the one that I want. I have the old one the gen before that pretty blue one.

 

Well another thing I do understand how to use the boost controller and I know what most of it does but the thing that I dont know is what the duty cycle is? If someone could tell me I would be content.
Thanks,
Josh

 

The duty cycle is how much work the solenoid under the hood is running. 0% is gonna be no boost increase, and 100% is blow-your-motor boost increase.

Start with around 20%, see how much boost you're running, then increase from there.

Thank you! That is the answer I have been looking for

Josh


also thanks to vosko for helping me understand that

 

Josh,

Just PM me w/ your email address and your questions. I can help you get back to the right settings, but the boost adjustment will be up to you (ok, I cna recommend but won't be liable if oyu blow your engine). the most important settings will be in the setup menu. Jay
