I bought a power FC for my R-32 GTR. The mods my car has is Z32’s, Exhaust, stock boost but will run 1 bar soon, Greddy intercooler piping and has a retune garage saurus ecu from Japan. The car has already been tuned for those mods with japans higher octane fuel. I won’t be doing anymore mods to the GTR so is there much use using the power FC. Im sure others have gone through the same sort of thing so if anyone can let me know how you went.

Need to know about gains in performance and fuel economy ect.

Cheers fellas

Generally speaking the Jap tuning shops have a bit to much ignition advance, which suites their 100 ron. This used to be a much greater problem when we only had 95 ron, but it's not so bad with 98 ron. I would STRONGLY suggest you get it on a dyno and see what it is making, how much knock it has and what the A/F ratios actually are. It will be the best $50 you will spend. Then you can make an educated decision on how much there is to be gained from fitting the Power FC.

:P cheers :)

PS; I have seen some really good chipped ECU's from Japanese tuning shops and I have seen some real shockers. The name means nothing.

Im in Tas so we only have 95 rom at the moment. So I think a re tune is in order by the comments I have received. Any other input would be good.

Toluene is cheap, 10 litres per tankfull and away you go.

:rofl: cheers :D

    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
