i dont think anyone would suggest anything except a powerfc looking at your list. If all you had was an exhaust, FMIC and more boost then an SAFC is perfect... add a few more goodies like you have and any piggy back is not going to cut it like a full independant ECU

The new apexi safc has also just been released :unsure:

It's on nenguns site

bah the new acf neo is just a fancier s-afc, not much more.

in the end its still a maf manupulator, which suck, i learned that the hard way...

pfc is only a few bucks more than the afc neo so why short yourself.

I wudnt of thought with an rb25 wit cams the to4e wud of been THAT bad? My mate has a HKS to4e which comes on full boost (18-20psi) by 4,500rpm, on an rb25 that would be lower and again with cams, but maybe the hks/garrett turbos are quiet different or i have the model number mixed up and its just a to4 or somethin.

Define 'laggy' in ur opinion...

As for tuning make it a power fc no question. You can also tune it for abit less lag if you spend some extra time on the lower rpm's.

This may be a stupid question, but I was reading about the Power FC, and noticed that the Power FC can run the car using a MAP sensor instead of the AFM. Does the car have to be tuned using the MAP sensor, or can the Power FC be tuned using the AFM?

thanx guys for your replies, I ordered a power fc and waiting for delivery :blink:

hope you like lag, as the t04e certainly will be. why not go for something more suitable? whats your power goal?

I think that with these cams the t04e would spool earlier, my power goal is 450hp, what do u think? will i reach there with these mods and good tuning hopefully?

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
