Help Needed

[MissR34]

hi all

im wanting to get stage 3 cams (with bigger valve springs of course) in my car but have just found out i also need to get an aftermarket computer,

what i need to know is........can a r34 gtt aftermarket computer be used in a r34 gt (non turbo)????

please help!

thanks

[heslo]

I'm gonna say no, did they ever make PFC's or anything like that for the non turbo Neo motors?

[sinistaGTR]

try an safc or something similar

[MissR34]

its been hard just to find out wether any power fc's were made for gt's as it is.

what other brands are there?

and sorry to be dumb, but whats an safc? similr to power fc???

[Luke_ENR34]

safc is like a piggy back comp. illegal tho. you can control the air/fuel ratios.

i would suggest speaking to a workshop and see what they recommend

edit. was just looking on the apexi site. dont know if this would be any good.

why is it illegal?

i asked my dyno guy whether i can just get it remapped, but he said i need to get an aftermarket computer, it wasnt something i thought i would need.

he said to try and get my mitts on a power fc (he recommends them)

[Luke_ENR34]

cause u can control and change air/fuel ratios. mixing with emissions and all that. its like a avcr but instead of boost its air/fuel

[/2on]

Any aftermarket ECU tho is illegal so it dont matter

[MissR34]

ok cool guys im looking on the apexi site now, sussing out the different things available!

[chops]

If you're concerned about legality, don't get the cams at all, they will make the car just as illegal as an ECU upgrade.

[ecenshu]

Only other thing that needs to be taken into account is auto/manual as I'm pretty sure the PowerFC doesn't have any control over the auto box which means you need to run both the standard ECU as well as the PFC.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

So Emanage Ultimate which has an Auto-box control unit will possibly be the best bet for aftermarket EMU for GT.

[ecenshu]

I'm making an assumption that the 34GT is an auto so ignore me if it isn't

[Turbz_13]

have a look at haltechs they have no restrictions as to that the car is, whats done to it, auto/manual, turb or non-turb etc. but they might be a bit pricey compared to some but still a great choice!!

[mr_rbman]

you obviously want more power and its going to cost you a fair bit going about it they way you want.

If it were me i'd buy a neo turbo motor and drop that in. Will be chaeper in the long run and even with just an exhaust cooler and a bit of boost you'll be close to 200rwkw's which by the sounds of things will be more than enough power for u!

cheers!

[MissR34]

mr rbman: im not interested in getting a turbo. im happy with my n.a engine.

and its a manual guys!!!!

but obviously your not 'happy' as you want more power?!?!?

[nos man]

well you know! jap import spares always has a neo 6 turbo engine for under 3k i think!

but i don't know much about non turbs! maybe follow the steps of v8's or something! like boring and stroking etc! see what they do and you might get some answers but either than that i'm stumped!

guys i dont want a turbo. full stop end of story.

and when i said i was "happy" with my n/a engine i meant it in the way that im happy to leave it naturally aspirated. and trying to get power out of it isnt gonna hurt

[nos man]

well i was looking around and i found a few threads on na performance

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...hp?showforum=53
