"Rich and Retard" is simply the higher air flow/load cells having no ignition timing in them, and the fuel cells at this load are rich.

That is why it cuts, no timing in those load cells.

If you could remap the ecu to put some extra ignition timing in those load cells, you wouldn't have a rich and retard situation.

The TI monitor is more then likely a signal for a trip computer to calculate show current fuel usage.

Also the lack of the throttle switch input, will not matter as the RB25 PowerFC uses the throttle position sensor, not switch. (So it won't matter that its not there.)

From what you have found Cubes, all you have to do is reverse pins 112 & 114 and cut 57 to be safe. (I doubt this pin is connected in the PowerFC though?)

Interesting, well as soon as I find out if my pfc is fried or not I'll throw an rb25 pfc in to it.

Seems almost too easy.

kwazza11, Can I ask you if you did the install your self or had some one else do it. I know you did said 'you' switched the two inj. outputs on the loom. Just to double check it was indeed you who did the work as then I know your not leaving something out. :whistling:

I had a look at Bl4ck32's PFC this morning, it too has the little cut disabling ecu pin 57.

So it appears AP Engineering do indeed use one of the rb25 revisions (possibly an early one as the ap engineering pfc uses the early hand controllers) swap the two injector outputs and disable the pin 57.

Cubes, yep i installed it myself and all i did was swap the two injector wires around, the throttle switch is only used for kick-down on autos and the exhaust temp signal (57) i assume is used for the exhaust temp light to indicate a blocked cat, thats been disconnected. everything else has been explained, Ti monitor for trip computer, boost control etc.

was a massively simple exercise, plugged it in, drove it to the tuner's workshop, got it tuned, drive away! :)

the throttle switch is only used for kick-down on autos

Actually I think pin 54 is a throttle closed switch which the RB20 ECU uses to go into idle mode. The throttle sensor box thingy also contains a WOT (probably closer to 75%) switch that from what I can remember is connected to the auto trans and not used by the ecu.

However if the RB25 ecu doesn't need that exact throttle closed signal to determine when it should be idling, then I can't see a problem leaving it disconnected.

The mosfets were fine however the capacitors and resistors had been fried, I did pick some of the tinny little resistors that can hardly been seen were replaced.

All capacitors were replaced as well as resistors. He said I was 'very' lucky. :nyaanyaa:

A few pics of before and after.

Anybody know what the external memory expansion socket/pins are for?

the newer powefcs have a white connector on the board for rom flash upgrades. no idea what the memory expansion is for.

i would expect djetro and pro versions have simply different firmware as they are just code logic changes, wouldnt think it would need more memory or extra chips? seems logical anyway

tops that you got it fixed, is the tune still present ?

damn lucky and cheap to fix might i add, good stuff

Reverse polarity...

How would this affect what you are stating above..

I must admit when I asked how were the mosfets he did say 'suprisingly fine'.

I dont think reverse polarity would be the issue, im not really familiar with the story of yours failing.

Vibration or excessive PCB flexing tend to be a big cause of failures in things like car amps.

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
