Powerfc Compatibility Questions

Hello,

I am looking for aftermarket ECU to control ECR33 after boost-up. I think that best option is PowerFC but it is strange for me that there is only one model of PFC for all ECR33s. As far as i know S1 and S2 have different not compatible ECUs -- why there is only one type of PFC?

The second problem is different crank angle sensors -- i have the latest "hitachi" (black, plastic case) sensor also used in NEO engines. I`m not sure PFC can work with this sensor.

The last problem is that my car is 4wd and i will definately have the same problem as those A-LSD featured ECR33s as control systems are identical, but there is a solution by paulr33 in DIY section.

Maybe there is Series 2 ECR33s with NEO crank sensor running with the Power FC? Is it possible?

Thank you in advance.

series 1 and 2 ecu's have different mappings but the rest is the same.

the 4wd drive system isnt controlled by the ecu so it works fine. we've seen normal powerfcs work on a GTS4 with no problems or wire changes. if the stock ecu is working with a different crank angle sensor then the powerfc will be the same and have no problems

about 4wd + pfc -- it is not compatible. i checked this :D.

It is not very simple to dignose: When you install pfc 4wd warning light comes out as always. But after 30 min of driving i noticed that the car drives uncomfortably. The worse case -- while parking or slow big angle turns -- car feels to drive very hard. While parking (big angle slow turn) when i push the clutch -- car stops immediately (especially on reverse).

That means that attesa is always locked with pfc it is full time 4wd without central differential.

I checked why it is so. Stock ecu (i have rare one for A-LSD ecr33) mirrors TPS signal to attesa from pin 56. PowerFC has constant 4.5v on that pin. So my attesa thinks my right foot is nailed to the floor and predictibly locks the torque 50/50.

We already made a special electronic scheme to mirror TPS voltage to the e-ts controller outside of ecu. I will take it to the road testing on Friday. This will allow to fix a power fc incompatibility with a-lsd or 4wd. This will allow to use any 2wd ecu in such vehicles.

2paulr33: i tried to use your way of fixing this from DIY section -- and found that it is incorrect. i will pm you details.

please let me know if its wrong

i still have the TPS hack applied to my wiring loom and it works fine

doesn't miss a beat and ALSD never fails like it used to

i dont see why it would be different, but certainly possible

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
