Is Power Fc My Next Best Mod?

[drewr33]

Ok guys Ive had my Skyline for nearly a year now. Just need a little help on next mod.

So far the mod lists is as followed:

Full 3inch twin dump, high flow cat and cat back exhaust.

Just Jap FMIC

Boost set at 11psi

Bosch 040 pump

POD

Thats about it.

Now what would you guys recommend my next mod to be? I was thinking Power FC.

With a Power fc what power gains would I be expecting with the above mods.

Anyone got before and after dyno sheets?

Thanks.

Absolutley Power FC.

I've nearly the same mods as you.

12psi..though. (no big deal)

The mid range of the Power FC is HEAPS better than standard.

A more enjoyable/better overall drive than any other mod.

I waited nearly 3 years before getting it installed....including over a year of buying it and storing it in the cupboard.

What an idiot.

Also, next mods you get need a new ECU anyway so just do this one now.

so overall.....Top output should be better, but for me, the midrange was the best bit.

You will NOT be dissapointed.

You have all the right mods to suppport it...Just Do It

Thanks for the reply Birnie.

Not wanting to spend heaps of money, should I also get a cam gear put on with the computer. And tune them all together?

Would the cam gear be worth it?

Thanks.

100%

doesnt have to be power fc, any good after market ecu will give you

very good results

adjustable cam gear is only if ur chasing the very last kilowatt

it will maybe give u 5rwkw max at top end and very little midrange

the thing is a lot of time has to be spent on the dyno setting it up

first u have to adjust overlap, then retard/advance each cam independantly, then check out the overlap again...see what i mean - thats a lot of dyno hours (2 at least)

[drewr33]

Thanks guys.

What power gain should I be expecting after Power FC + Tune?

[dead32]

isnt it generaly safe to assume a min of 15% gain over std ecu? i have basicaly same mods except upgraded turbo on my r32 rb20. ive just orderd a pfc and i have cam gears, i would suggest for the sake of it purchase a cheap exhaust cam gear and dial it all in on the dyno at the same time, thats my plan and contrary to the previous post depending on how you set em up, i would expect a slight but cost effective mid range gain...

[342Four]

it will make a diff when matched to the right mods

im just remebering an article on a engine build up that had lots of work already done and cam gears only really gave top end, not much midrange

if u get diff cams, thats a greater diff - but prob not in ur price range

if your looking at anything past 300rwhp and adding a Power FC, i would recommend you add a Z32 Air Flow Meter to your set up, the factory RB25 one will max it quickly.

Power FC for sure it will complement all the mods you have already done and make them far more effective. Dont worry about cams, AFM, etc if your keeping the stock turbo.

yeh...go for apexi power Fc....

should feel a lot different

[drewr33]

Cool thanks guys. Ill be getting a power fc soon.
