RBwhatever

I think that variant sr20 has got solid lifters too don't they?

Woah, I didn't realise the threads in this section moved so slow!!

This is old. Almost 6 months old.

cool, thanks. Though the warning light would probably flash for the afm I don't need to worry about it do I.

So paul, my rb25 AFM hits about 5005mV, I hear they max out at 5100mV yes? Hitting 5V is aOK? I've just got a turbo-back exhaust, fmic, pod, 12psi, PFC, stock pump & injectors and I'm only getting 82% inj duty cycle, knock reads 15 max. I know the knock is safe and apparently the inj duty is all cool to. Is all that in the norm to you? Cheers

I totally agree with you too. No one buys a turbo skyline for economy. I surely didn't buy mine for economy, but its nice when you can have a bit also, especially if its your daily.

I got 512kms out of 56L last tank. Thats doing part town, part hwy, part ranges. Got the usual bolt on stuff to like fmic, pod, exhaust, BC, whatever, thats with the stock ecu. Figured it out to be 10.9L/100km or in other terms 9.15km/L. You guys are getting shocking economy....

Somebody's gotta want the FC. Free bumpity bump

Hmmm I don't have one at the moment. I could take a photo if you'd like though. I'll post it later when I get a digicam in my hands.

They're quite soft aren't they. I got 2 or 3 large hose clamps and put it around the pipe in a couple of different sections. Made it twice as rigid.

well the safc II is discontinued also, so safc neo for now. Time will tell if apexi does release another ecu. The PFC is still a very capable unit though.

ps i didn't vote

I think it is going to be very hard to find people who have bought and tried multiple ecu's for 1 car. I far as I see it, buying a standalone ecu and getting it tuned is not what you would call cheap. When you do invest to buy a programmable ecu, the common intention is to keep it in the car. If it's not a plug in unit, then wiring in another ecu can be very inconvenient. Then wiring in another wire in unit would be even more inconvenient. The only time you would consider to even change it would be if: 1. it karked it 2. doesn't run properly for your application 3. your car has progressed in mods and doesn't have the features you want 4. major pain to tune 5. your selling the car I really can't see it to be very common for someone to say to himself, "hmm this ecu that I've bought and tuned to my ca runs fine, but for the sake of it I think I'll change it to another one to see if it runs even better." If money wasn't an issue then it would be done more often. But seeing that it is in most cases an unnecessary expense for most of us, it doesn't get done. The ecu is more of a do it once and do it right mod, and then tuning to suit your car from then on. In saying all this, I'd say most people would have voted before reading your first post properly. For me PFC, because many people have had good experiences and good results with it. It is as a whole a very convenient ecu. Although they are discontinued, they are still around and you can still pick them up for a price that is still more than often cheaper than your other standalone ecu's. It would still be nice to hear of the results from the other ecu's though. Maybe this should more of a "what ecu do you have and what are the results?". Cheers

They can work very well when tuned properly. And in terms of modifications, there is no combination of mods out of the D-Jetros reach. Although, tuning is no easy task on the D-Jetro. Expect about twice or more of the amount of tuning time than a normal Power FC.

But they also require MAP sensors to be used.........No wait sorry I lied. Quote from their web page "This ECU is designed to plug into Nissan R32 and R33 model vehicles running the RB25DET engine. All Wolf V500 ECU Adapter Looms are designed to allow the Mass Air Flow meter to be removed. The Internal MAP Sensor allows boost levels up to 30 PSI. If higher boost levels are required, an external MAP Sensor can be used."

Wolf 3D do make a plug and play version of the V500 for the r33 gtst. From memory I think it worth $1900. But in saying that it'll still depend on the tuner to do a good job.

Double post^^^ Anyways, if your handy with a spanner and screw driver, I would just take the K&N filter and adapter plate off and then just bolt the apexi filter straight onto the air flow meter. That's assuming the apexi one doesn't use the adapter plate.

correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't microtech use map sensors? Hence why the emanage would be easier to live with. Less things to change/install, easier to tune, more daily driver friendly.

Does nissan fast do australian spec s15?

Cool man. Did you get the ball off the guy you sold it off?

Hi people. Just a little survey for ya's. In what order do you prioritize the things being done to your car? I've brought this down to 3 categories. Performance/Maintenance Aesthetics Sound System For me it is 1. Performance/Maintenance 2. Aesthetics 3. Sound system So in other words I'll get the performance and maintenance things done before I start worrying about the looks of the car, and lastly the sound system which I'm not too concerned about. Cheers

Either way, I'm happy the way it turned out. For me it was a change for the better.

Interesting.... I went from a r34 smic to just jap fmic and my response improved 10 fold (exaggeration). Weird.

As far as it reading your afr's they really are quite slow, due to the narrow band sensor. The only useful things I found it good for is reading afr's on a constant throttle position eg. WOT, cruising, part constant throttle. And it will tell you if your O2 sensor dies. Mine died, I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for the afr gauge giving me some really wacked out figures. Replaced the O2 sensor and made a world of difference to how the car ran.
