Woohoo I Got Power Fc!

[craig R33]

went into morpowa again yesterday (nearly my 2nd home these days) spoke to a few lads there, and they have pointed me in the right direction with the next step on my 33.

the next step being after market ecu

they recommended power fc, as piggy back option is apparently not as tunable or flexible as a full upgrade ecu.

i ended up agreeing on the price of $2250 supplied, installed and dyno tuned.

cant complain really, seing as the ecu for the 33 has ceased production. (so i heard)

so it goes in tomorrow (thursday)

i cant wait,

speaking from experience, did the aftermarket ecu come up to your expectations?

and what step did you take from there?

cheers

yeah that sounds about right, but they have gone up since they stopped making them, i paid 1650 fot the ecu itself, and 500 for install and tune, its not a bad price really, and i trust the guys down there, i havent had any trouble since i have been using them.

i only had mine done in the begining of this year

[rad100]

i got mine for $800 with h/c and $400 for tune! woot woot!

that is a bargain Adrian! (and a bloody good bargain if its an Rb25 under youre bonnet we're talking about?)

there are quite a few ECR33 PFCs still floating around for sale new and second hand. They are pretty easy to get your hands on as long as youre willing to spend anywhere from $1200 - $1700.

[craig R33]

well done if you could find one for cheap, but i get very paranoid! if spending cost price + 100% mark up for the unit is what it takes for my peice of mind, then thats what ill spend.

and also, if theres any probs with the ecu...strait back to the factory for warrenty repair it goes...

now do you think its worth the extra few hundred dollars?

[rad100]

yeh its always good to have peice of mind!!!!

ps mines a gtr one hahaha modded to rb20!

u should be happy once installed!

[craig R33]

ahhh, this may soumd like a dumb question, but, where do they usually sit the hand unit in a 33??

i dont want it somwhere to obviouse where mr and mrs piggy will see it.

[nos man]

i put mine in the glove box

i put my pfc on the leftside of the steering column using the velcro patch supplied n run the cable behind and thru the glove box that way if u r worried bout the cops u can just put in the glove box

morpowa tuned my power fc n did a great job, the tune will be cheaper next because they wil save the maps on their laptop, they also tune the fc while its out on the road aswell 2 chek the knock levels

[craig R33]

thanks danai!!!

you have exact the same set up as me with the ebc and tt, i like where you have your fc, i suppose it would be good to have in a visable spot, but move it quickly if need be....im glad to hear they did a good job of yours, ahhh knock sensor? what the? lol, i have no idea when it comes to japanese cars at the moment lol

cheers for that mate.

cheers for that mate.

on ya power fc u can display all sorts of readings, i display speed, revs, water temp, injector duty, timing and knock reading

the knock sensor reads small amounts of detonation and is displayed by using numbers, i think the most u want 2 see is no more than 60 (not sure) if u give it 2 much throttle and the detonation reads higher your engine warning light will flash, the knock reading can be reset on ya controller, mine doesnt get any higher than 12-25 on boost n about 7 off boost

[craig R33]

^^^oooohhhhhh oookkkkk.....im sure ill pick these things up over time, ill be glad to get thew thing in and running right!!

will let ya know how it goes when i get it cack tomorrow, thanks again guys!
