Yesterday I did some shopping for my R32 GTST and i was recomended a link plug in ecu because apparently its very hard to find a power fc d-jetro for R32's. and cheaper too. $1500 for the link and $1800 for the PFC.

The link does have the map sensor instead of the AFM same as the PFC.

Please help as I have no idea which to choose. I always thought PFC was the way to go but now I'm just confused. I could have sworn that I have seen D-jetros going for 1400 but can't remember where.

I was also told if I am installing bigger injectors, I need to install these little things(sorry.... can't remember the name of them) in the injector loom because the standard inj's are low imperdance. Is this true?

Thanx

Depending on your power target , you might want to consider a third option. Get your standard ECU chipped and tuned. Then I would consider a "normal" Power FC.

:P cheers :P

Ask Paul from Performance- wise.

He has a group buy going on all the time.

He will be able to get you a better price. :P

Go to the buy it know area and read on..it has some things in there that will interest you.

Another quality post buddy.

damn right a quality post - who with half a brain quotes $1800 for a powerfc ?

My comment still stands - Bullshit.

But wanting a D Jetro does cause a few issues - I'd be going by SK's post, or just getting a standard powerfc with a Q45 AFM if you need the extra flow. I have a q45 and it works a treat with my powerfc. Unless you want a huge ass vent to atmosphere BOV, then the AFM won't do you any favours... But why would you want that?

GTS Link has, launch control, boost control, closed loop, active knock sensing, laptop or hand control tunable and is map sensor based.

Not a bad unit at all.

Agree 100%, i have had a link in my 33 gtst for around 2 years and it's never skipped a beat.. it has tunability for all my mods (and future ones) and more, launch control is a great bonus, and laptop tuning and data logging was a big plus for me when deciding..

Don't know all the ins and outs for the PFC so i won't comment, they've been tried and tested and have seen awesome results on heaps of cars, i've also seen the same from link ECU's and thats what i have so my bias leans towards Link.

As with the prices, both the PFC and Link can be had for cheaper than your original prices, it's just a matter of looking around..

Cheers, ultimately it comes down what ever fits your needs best... good luck

I agree with SK, ECU retune is the go with a R32. But looks like the Link ECU has some good extra functions if you need em, can you tune it with a AFM?

A car with a AFM will give you a more precise tune than one with a map sensor, better throttle response etc.

cheers

Mafia I said the same thing, nearly fell over when he told me 1800 (advan).

I'm still yet to try performance wise. Thanx 700hp.

sorry paulr33 I forgot to mention that part. A P engineering.

The reason why I want the map sensor PFC is from the stupid vacum spring thing that was mentioned a couple of issues ago in HPI. Its pretty bad. I'm not fussed at all with the bov, it was cool when i first got it but I got over it pretty fast so the plum back is back on it. It doesn't stall but it gets close still. Nothing wrong with my AFM either, tested with another one and got a new one for peice of mind and its still the same. New plugs, silicon hoses, coils, etc. no air leaks.

Sydneykid, I was considering doing the chip and tune to my ECU but I really want the most I can get. And its not just that. A few friends of mine had there STD ECU's chipped and tuned and then later purchaced a PFC. It wasn't the power increase that made them happy, it was the way the car drove and responded after the PFC. I don't know if this was true because I never drove the car before and after myself so I really don't know if they are just full of it or not but hey, if I can get more power than I'll take it.

As RB30 said, the link doesn't sound too bad at all but I can't seem to find many people with one and I really don't want to just take the salesmans word for it.

Snoman you are the first person to give me hands on info about these link ecu's. Where did you get yours from cause advan performance seems to be the only place that has these, but then again, I've only been looking for a day or 2. Did you get the plug in, wire in, link, or link plus? I think the one I was shown was the Link plug in so I don't think I get launch and boost control. If you've got the wire in what did you get charged to install it? Does the link affect the speed sensative steering as I've heard the PFC does?

Anyone heard about the little things that should be installed when upgrading 32 GTST inj's? He said something about the std inj's are low imperdance so they are a must apparently.

I didn't know that Munna1. Thanx

man I'm confused now

sorry about the late reply. I'm on night shift this week.

thanx.

I need to get a AFM witch u think is better Z32 or Q45??

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
