take it all to an authorized apex tuner, go to apex's site and search
the price of their tune compared to a non authorized isn't all that much, and with an authorized dealer, there's a better chance that they know more, tune right...
it'll also help if you actually tell us what you have...
from the info you gave, the only thing i can help you with is with the maf, go to the settings screen (from the initial 3 menus) and then select the air intake thingy selection, there are several options, s13, s14, s13 with air intake, vq and some other thing, select vq since that = z32
thanks guy, i have the GT2871R .64AR, HKS fuel rail with Precision 780cc injectors.

based off of 780cc, if i'm doing my math correctly, the fuel correction would be 47%, as far as the millisecond adjustment, i have no clue,...
there are base maps with that turbo on someone's website, i believe nzo, don't remember, he was compiling maps for pfc users...

I also have a power FC w/ z32 MAF (not installed) but no injectors. When I switch it over on the PFC to z32 maf thats just a basemap, correct? I can do damage to my motor if i romp on it with just that setting? I was worried about how soon I need to get tuning after I install the z32 MAF.
thanks

If your running a PowerFC with a Z32 MAF and no injector upgrade your going to be flowing way to much air to run. You will have to enrich your injector settings massively. In fact it would not even be wise to run the car that way even if you get it running.
You should upgrade your injectors to compensate the larger amount of air flow. Then depending on the injector size, setting your injector duty cycle percentage will get you up and running. If you can't afford the larger injectors yet, just put in the PowerFC and let it learn your engine.
Get the larger injectors to go along with the MAF.
The only other way, you could get around not running the larger injectors with the maf, would be if you put in a adjustable fuel pressure regulator with a meter. Of course thats a stop gap fix i.e. band aid fix at best. Just do the right thing and get larger injectors.
Question though? Are you running a stock turbo? If you are there is no reason to be running the z32 maf or larger injectors.
Though running the PowerFC is cool because it is a bolt on noticeable power upgrade.

yes. stock turbo and stock injectors. Im probabally going to put a FPR in my car when I put the MAF in. Oh and since Im gonna keep the stock turbo until after I get my fuel mods done do you think Ill have any problem with 720cc injectors, FPR and z32 MAF? oh a wideband o2 is going in at the same time for A/F adjustments.
