I spoke with Ivan from RPM. He reckons there's not that much difference in a car with a powerfc compared to a remapped std. comp. He said to me a guy had the std. comp in his r32, then changed to a power fc and the hp was the same but the mid range picked up 10-20kw.

Think he big difference is power fc gives you the ease of adjusting without having to plug an computer in, which can be handy. Also allows for monitoring of systems, AFM, injectors, knock, revs, speed, boost blah blah.

Another big plus with the power fc is that it is fully portable and can be resold alot easier than a chipped ecu.

Bottom line, is it worth it? Perhaps that is something that only the person fitting the power fc, or remapping their ecu can answer, but remapping is definately a good cost effective way of squeezing more out of your car.

If you have a chip already, makes remapping even more cost effective.

Just realised I saw 9krpm at Morpowa when my car was up - thats one sweet ride you got there!

Sorry for the late introduction as I did not know who you were and can't help drooling about your car too.

Thanks for the complement.

Matt, I got knock sensor;)

Yeah very true mate. Mind you @ 180+km/h I don't think the "eng check" light flashing would've helped me in time anyway.

Hmm, I think maybe you underestimate the usefulness. I have grone accustomed to its presence, and it so much as blinks once and I am off the gas - works really well, my paranoia helps.

It actually activates quite low on the scale to give you plenty of warning, well before its enough to cause problems.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
