I'm pretty new to the skyline world and just as new at modifying electronic injected and turbo cars. I was wonderin, especially now power fc's are so hard to get. can someone tell me what is the difference and can you get similar peformance from both???

PowerFC is a replacement ECU, I believe all the AFC does is allow you to mess with the air flow/fuel mixtures and is a piggyback on your ECU. To be honest, the PFC is worth it in my opinion, you just gotta be able to find one for a decent price

I thought when tuning your car to get around 200kws or greater the problem was air/fuel mix especially when running more boost.

as I have realised after putting electronic boost control, fmic and pod. My engine is runnin pretty rich. when I let it warm up in the mornings under the car port, it smells of richness....

There are some major differences between the PFC and the neo(piggyback). But the main and probably the most important for tuning for power is the ignition timing. With a neo you cant change ignition timing, you can only adjust air fuel mixtures and the standard edu keeps factory settings with ignition timing, where as a PFC is a complete replacement and is responsible for all of these things. hence why you cant completely get rid of that R and R thing that the rb25s do with just a piggyback. You need timing adjustment also.

      Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.

      Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below.

      It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.

      What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?

      It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup
