To People Who Have Power Fc...

[Ryanrb25]

hey guys, just bought a POWER FC. I was wondering what you guys think of them, and whats your experiences....ive heard nothing but good news...i actually have a MICROTECH ltx-12s which are a fantastic ECU but not good for economy, which my car is daily driven so its essential. I also like the user friendly features of the pfc...

cheers....

Never had a problem with it, Power FC's and Nissans go hand in hand!

I think it's more who tunes it than what type of computer it is. Being so common there are lots of places that can tune them.

The PFC is good in that you can easily check if there is something a little unusual going on. Another big plus is that it lets you know if there is excessive knock, maxed out injectors and i think AFM, through the dash light. So you can instantly back off.

took me ages to work out what computer to use and i bought the power fc in the end, for the dosh they're great!

[Ryanrb25]

Absolutely. A crap tune on a PFC is still going to give you crap economy.

Congrats on getting the power fc, should be picking mine up end of this week or next week. Is it true you need to upgrade your AFM when you plug in a power fc? I realise that it's a good upgrade to have done anyway but is it necessary straight away?

Nope, but it is recommended as there ain't much head room on the stock one when you start modding, upping boost etc.

Almost always a 300ZX 80mm airflow meter.

Yeah, figured a z32 would do the job, just need to get my hands on one and so do a few other ppl on these forums by the looks of it. I think i've been told about $350 for a new one (i think it's new), anyone else been told better prices?

hey bit of topic just wondering where u guys are getting the pfc from online or shop n how much

[ISC-Performance]

Always run power fc's in all my cars and never had an issues except for a faulty knock sesor. We are going to be selling wolf ecu's through our store very soon and would also appreciate people feedback on that ecu. As far as I no its alot more tunable then the power fc but alot more complicated to set-up and for the driver to change basic settings etc.

It's probably a bit much but i'm getting my power fc for $1450 through a shop. Been told i could have got it for cheaper through nengun or wateva but oh well, it's been paid for already anyway.

Hey ryanrb25, whereabouts you getn ur power fc installed? I'd take a wild guess and say boostworx cos it seems like that's where everyone else goes but figured i'd ask anyway.

[Evil34]

$1400 second hand, because R34 PFC are discontinued

[Ryanrb25]

i got my brand new R33 Gts-t. $1450.

i installed it myself champ, you just gotta do an initialization process and she's sweet...getting it tuned by tilbrooks soon.

Nope there the same only series two have 3 wire not 4. Install it yourself follow paulr33 guide then take it to boostworx and get shaun to tune it, there the cheapest and by far the best
