What do you think?? Who installed it?? And what did it cost??

Looking at getting PAC Performance to install a LTX-12.

Does anyone have any info on the EMS for the GTR as well??

I am running HKS 2530's manifols and dump pipes, Cam gears and a bigger front mount, full exhaust.

any help would be great

I want to get rid of the AF metres...

Pac Performance seen to know their stuff whaen it comes to the Microtech. What do you think??

I also have a Power FC and Hand controller st home that i might use..

Who in Sydney is pretty switched on, when it comes to the power FC??

What do people think of SAS (Silverwater Automotive Services)

try coydons or silver water you only need to upgrade you afms to z32 ones the powerfc is a much better than micro tech for fuel economy and driveability. and the powerfc is plug in no install required. the microtech is good on rotors and wild track cars

I spoke to vince rigoli about putting EMS on a GTR and he said that he would have to put a throttle body on the front of the plenum to get throttle position reference. He said EMS as good as it is (i run it on my SR by the way) is not great on a GTR and recommended the power FC

Hi 600hp, let's see if I can extract an answer.................

We have a 650 bhp GTR that runs AFM's, and I am just about to finish a 900 bhp RB30/26 hybrid that will run AFM's.

There is simply no more accurate way to measure the airflow into an engine than AFM's. MAP's are not as accurate, therefore tuning compromises, poorer idle quality, difficulty with multiple throttle bodies (like a GTR has), don't handle the load changes as efficiently for air con, power steer or electrical load etc.

OK, so I have covered power, idle quality, changing load ... oh I know .... fuel economy...

AFM's will give higher accuracy, so the fuel economy will be better than with a MAP sensor driven ECU.

Gotta ask the question again, why get rid of the AFMs anyway?

It seems to be a knee-jerk responce when looking for more power along with whacking on a bigger turbo.

It seems to me the advantages of the AFM for any street driven car far outweigh any perceived disadvantages

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.

      The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That is a series 1 front end (grill, bumper, headlights). I'm not sure if you are trying to confirm if your whole car is series 1 or just the headlights, but the build date and vin# on the plaque in the engine bay would be the best reference for what it was when it left the factory (noting a lot may have changed over the years)
