how well does the PFC controll the auto ? i heard you dont get as much life from the auto because the computer does not "fart" the engine :D (sounds like a fart from the exhaust)

the run was done in 3rd gear.

theres no spikes where it changed gear so that tells me that the tuner doesnt know about the magic brown plug, and hence he has slowly built the speed up past the point of no return for second gear and then he has planted it.

behind the driver side head light there is a group of electrical conectors.

find the brown one and unplug it.

this will lock the car in drive, so the tuner can then load up the car throughout the whole rev range without it kicking back to second and trying to kill everyone.

aprt from that power is ok but not great.

i had 187 from stock computer, stock auto.

sell the emanage and put a power fc on it...

the auto will still run with the pfc, it just won't be quiet as smooth on the gearchanges. most people who are ignorant and just hop in and drive probably wouldn't even notice.

i asume thats a crack at me....

Ignorant hey...

Sorry i havent read the full right up that you did when you installed a power fc into your S1 r33 gtst.

i must have missed you finding's, showing the trans to change gears at random and be really harsh on changes.

If you could kindly guide me to your own threads about the topic with proof, then i will axcept your critisism and move on,

unfortunately its knobs like you that spread rumors and bad ideas about things you have absolutely no idea about.

ive been there and done that for several years now, starting from completely stock to up over 300 kws thru the r33 auto.

the trans is serviced regurally by Mike from MV Automatics, and hasnt missed a beat.

12 months ago mike stripped my working trans and did the whole trans upgrade with a high stall.

Internally he couldnt fault the box, and it showed no signs of exsessive heat or damage from running over 300kws on a daily basis, controlled by the PFC.

most people miss the whole point of running a PFC with an auto.

yes on a stock trans, with stock shift kit the gear changes may be ever so slightly harsher.

but generally speaking if someone is installing a PFC then they are allready up around the 180 - 200kw range, and would allready have a shift kit installed. so the shifts are nice and crisp regardless of ecu.

the best thing about the auto r33 is how smooth they are. they change gears very nice etc etc.

I have had a ecu in my car when it was auto and the gear changes were a bit savage compared to stock ecu. id like to know how a emanage handles it.

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
