AVC-R Settings Help.

[Shawn_of_the_Dead]

Alright, I just had a buddy help me install the AVC-R and I was wondering if some of you who have had this for awhile and figured it out would share some basic settings to get me going. This thing has so many settings and configurations. Just a stock blacktop with 3" dp and exhaust/test pipe, large fmic, HKS BOV, walbro 255lph fuel pump. I see there is a car specific area, and also the ability to set boost per rpm's and also gear. I assume I would need to let it know where my redline is and how tall each gear is, figure boost and duty cycle. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. I also just fixed a power steering leak, so very eager to drive her.

I guess I will read over the manual again...

??

I know people are using the same boost controller...someone help me out please. I need to figure out the duty cycle and injector cycles if nothing else.

check a'pexi's website, they have the manual online in .pdf format, that should get you started off pretty well, sry i dont have one.

I checked their website....nothing but the manual did I find. However...I did alot of other searching as well and came up with the following. It was helpful to me almost instantly, and I hope will help someone in the future. So cheers!!

Entry level users need only to input a desired boost level and the AVC-R's trademark self learning CPU processor does the rest.

The AVC-R also uses a highly durable, fast action solenoid valve to physically control the boost . The valve movement (Boost Duty Cycle) can also be modified. Raising the duty cycle increases boost response, while lowering the duty cycle will slow boost response. This feature allows boost response adjustment for varying turbo sizes. Since larger turbos take longer to spool up ( bad low end response) the duty cycle should be raised under lower RPM's for better response. The opposite should be done for smaller turbo's ( excellent low - mid range response, but limited top end power.) A'PEXi engineers address this issue by including extra menus for RPM based boost control. Drag racers may want to utilize the Gear based boost control function. Aside from the basic functions above, the AVC-R has a Start Duty Setting (allows the boost to momentarily overshoot according to gear).
