Hi All,

I have had this upgrade in mind for ages (R34 GTT manual). I have a few questions. I'm getting the Exedy Hyper single clutch installed next week by mate (who is also a honda mechanic) so thats sweet. I have the following items to install.

Clutch (new flywheel bolts, release bearing)

Apexi powerFc & controller

HKS 3037proS (have started making the custom down pipe)(also have some air intake mods to make)

z32 AFM and brand new plug

Sard 650cc's

blitz boost controller

Cambelt

general belts

and other bits and pieces. (need to get oil/water lines for the turbo - any suggetions)

_ already have exhaust, fuel pump and sard fuel reg.

Can I install the powerFc and complete the start up procedure on the same day as I remove the original turbo? I want the shop to do the rest. Can I install the powerFc then install the turbo/custom pipe and then start the car ? or install not start then tow to shop ? or install and drive? Any help welcomed ! I have read the project32 tutorial for some hinds. :D:D

Your questions are a little hard to understand.

So you want to install the power fc and drive to the workshop to install all your parts, yes?

The power fc has a base map you can drive around on, but no boosting it as it wouldn't be tuned.

Regardless of what you do the fc will have to be tuned to your mods after they have been installed.

Hmmm if you keep standard injectors in there you should be able to drive it completely off boost to the workshop if its not too far on the standard FC map... just make sure you don't give it stick because everythin will be out of wack with that sized turbo on there!

it wont matter which order you install everything, as the power fc will be on the base map which wont change at all till you get it tuned

if you read up on how to set it up for new injectors in paul's faq, you may consider doing them too.

or plan B

forget about installing the pfc

install the turbo and dump pipe, then drive to the tuners on the standard ecu.

installing the pfc takes less then 3 minutes, and the tuner will need to reinitiate the idle learn once the injectors and afm are changed anyway, so let him put it in once everything is done.

install everything.. plug in pfc, plug in the figures for the the injectors and z32 afm... and drive to the workshop

i was driving around for a few weeks with base powerfc map with 740cc injectors, z32 afm and hks gt2835 pros. untill i could get it tune, just drive it normal and everything will be fine

    • But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

    • After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
