I know motec has the best hardware,thereby can do more thinks that power fc can(thats why is more expensive). I don't realy know if i need something like a motec since i don't aim at huge hp numbers.(i want 500-600 hp).Can the original ecu be remaped?Will it work ok in close loop?

What is "aux dig inputs","aux outpout","acel pump"?(because powerfc was none of the above.

for 5-600 hp you really dont need motec in fact the power fc is nearly as progammable as the motec if you use the software fc logit and it runs in closed loop it also comes with base map so you have the car running strainght away and it plugs in whenre the old ecu was in fact it looks very similar to the stock ecu the only realy draw back is that you need to run air flow meters but thats not so bad you can get larger ones from a z32 seriously at this level of tune the power fc is all you need regard less of cost. people make inexcess of 900 hp using the power fc with great driveability etc.

if you get one make sure you get a hand controller for it

no from what I knwo of the power fc it doesnt have different maps but the beauty of it is you cna retune the car after each up grade which help. If a car is well tuned it shoud be tuned for performance and economy the big factor with economy is to wind down the boost and to be on boost as little as possible

cheers

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
