Ah I read that last night. Must have been half asleep.

I think the easiest way for the GTS-T is to bridge to two - cause that's how the Standard R33 Powerfc is naturally anyway. I tested mine at idle, and it was running 14.2 volts to a good ground (most likely 13.8 at its own ground)

So if we bridge the two outputs, then its does exactly what the normal FC does, and simply runs the pump flat out all day every day.

I think they do this with the GTR to prevent the pump being as loud as f**k all the time, especially when at idle.

It's a shame we can't run the lower voltage at idle for quietness, as I don't want anyones mum complaining when I have the car running and her in the back seat. (car running for the aircon)

Bridging them won't hurt anything, as they are simply 12volt outputs.

Ie: They output the same voltage. All they do is activate 2 different relays.

The first relay or output activates a circuit that delivers the pump 11 volts.

The second relay or output activates a circuit that delivers the pump 13 volts.

Since the R33 GTS-T doesn't have these two "circuts" in the boot like the GTR it wouldn't matter. It would see the combined voltage of the two outputs triggers, and simply turn the fuel pump on, and leave it on.

Because The First output turns off, and then the second one on after it, since they are bridged the relay in the boot only sees a constant "stay on" signal.

I'm sure Cubes would agree with all of this.

Where is he lol

Also, if you were REALLY worried and didn't believe me - attach a diode to each of the outputs on the ECU and THEN bridge them after the diodes.

Then the volts can't go back into the FC (even though they won't aas the FC with have Diodes and relays inside anyway to prevent this, and for normal operation)

When I mean the volts can't go back into the powerfc, I mean if one output shuts down, and the other powers up, then if bridged it can't go from one active output into a non active output. They are outputs anyway

- There will be a relay operating inside, and if the relay is off, then the volts can't go anywhere :P

Hnmmmmmm Cubes must have my mum out on a date or something.

lol they are my emails to paul this morning

Hey Nick, hows the car running?

are you able to get good economy out of it?

Hmmm not at the moment having a bit to much fun driving it, but saying that only bout a 50km diff with all the mods.

PM use your number an next time im going to my beachouse ill give u a buzz, well catch up

just letting everyone know that I was successful in getting my GTR Powerfc to work in my RB25. I even gave it a bit of a tune. This means it will work 100% for the RB20.

Its up for sale too by the way so if you're interested, just let me know. Even if you want it just for a R32 \ R33 GTR.

I'll have my rb26 from nengun within a week or two. Its taken ~8weeks for delivery. :S

I'll be doing internal wiring mods so its a simple plug in.

I 'might' do a few for others that are in SA. Boostworkx have a datalogit that is required so tuning will be done there.

well, as I said up there - I have a perfectly good PowerFC to suit a R33\R32 GTR that I thought was a pro, and isn't.

Works perfectly, as I have been using it in my car and driving around with a light tune lol.

Its also configured to work also, and if you give me a heads up, I can load your data into it before I send it so that you can plug it in and drive to your tuner with it :thumbsup:

Just let me know everyone - I'll post a for sale thread at some stage.

Oh, and Its ready to go into an overnight bag, so you'd get it really fast :bunny:

might be interested joel, how much?

Let me get mine done first, order from nengun has taken 8 weeks so far. :thumbsup:

Fingers crossed I receive it next week.

Good thing with it being the 26fc is we can utilize your rb26 inlet air temp sensor.

well, the Powerfc and hand controller cost me $1100, and the loom $50

so $1150 plus post and its all yours \ anybody's :D I just want to get my money back.

but just remember, you need a tuner with a Datalogit or they won't be able to do it! I just spoke to cubes and I won't be able to do it from here unless I have a RB20. (I have a RB25)

If you have a RB25, thats another story. Mine *should* work and start - but I still recommend having someone with a datalogit near.

Its running my car right now though, and I will be driving to work with it tomorrow lol.

    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 😄
    • They sure do, great for when you need to chuck a sickie 😅   You should definitely give the beast a squirt on the track, great to enjoy the car
