just a Q or two :D

what do yaz recon is the best aftermarket computer to get?

iv been thinking about Power FC, EMS and Link

the price differences are pretty big and i wanna know if the extra $$$'s are worth it...:)

another thing..

iv noticed that alot of the big performance cars have electronic BC's even though they have a computer that can do this :confused:

whats the extra money for? i went to advan in silverwater the other day and a greddy bs is 800$ when u include the remote switch it goes over a grand.,. same with apexi AVCU thats like 1100$

apart from looking kool do these BC's offer any advantage over the computer's BC?

and another thing iv been wondering ....

the advan gtr, GRACER (i saw it there the other day) has a link not a power fc :confused: i thought the P FC was like the best :confused: :confused:

all very confusing... ;)

Hype.. it really all comes down to who you can get to tune the

thing.

The advantage as everyone knows is that the PFC is basically

what you would call "Plug and Play" :) even though some tuning

would be recommended. Others you would be chopping wires

left right and centre.

I ASSUME that if you get busted by the EPA, it's just a matter of

sticking back in your old puter and get it tested? The problem

will be that you will lose your settings on the PFC? Anyone

confirm?

I always thought for the amount of $$$ spend for EBC is due to

corrections in boost spikes, the facility to monitor other stuff etc

etc. I don't have one personally but thats what I've read.

Electronic boost controllers holds boost better, and doesn't allow boost to spike as much. The bleed valve types also have to be adjusted inside the engine bay, where the EBC can be done in-cabin. More convenience that way.

the link is an nz computer it doesn't have as many plotting points as powerfc.

but powerfc has one draw back it still uses afm's but unless you plan to go over 300rwkw the powerfc should be fine and you can always un plug it but chances are it wont even be seen any way.

shop around for prices as there are plenty of bargains out there.

diduc - thats only for the unit .. doesnt include controller and u have to import it from japan. .

meggala - the one from autospeed doesnt include the controller either..

That "nengun" place in Japan also has new AVC-R $807 and SAF-C $512 , Power FC alone $1200, do you need the hand controller once the car is tuned? Has anyone bought anything off them, I mean do you end up paying for things that will never arrive?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Ok interesting i guess ill wait till using a manual gauge before making assumptions.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not in any way a logical conclusion. Also, looking at those logs, I struggle to see how that much oil pressure can go away that fast unless you are sucking air into the pickup. Meanwhile the ECU voltage is chucking a huge wobbly which seems to be tied to the throttle position. 100% throttle results in decreasing voltage. It's a mess.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      So didn't get around to installing a manual oil pressure gauge and then decided to take the car for a cruisey drive to a cars and coffee and brought the laptop along with to get another log using more gears to see if its an oil pressure issue under acceleration or after. this log has 3 gears of WOT where as previous had 2 and the oil pressure dropped once on the brakes, and the same again happens here which is interesting as it shows it can hold oil pressure while under acceleration but once slowing or just the lower RPM after a pull pressure drops. I will be chucking a manual oil pressure gauge on to confirm but so far this makes me feel it is not an electrical issue. Something else i realised is the pressure sensor also is giving temperature information and the temp stays steady the whole time which makes me feel like the sensor itself is showing a true pressure reading.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
