autoworx Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 In case anyone is interested there's a great thread in forced induction on a new Australian plug in ECU for rb20/25/26 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pl...ng-t218179.html Briefly : Direct plug and play replacement ecu board full usb software tuning switchable maps uses all factory sensors built in map sensor boost control launch control antilag built in factory base map for local fuel australian built with full support and warranty much much more Cost will be around $1650 . Although more than a base powerfc , if you add up boost controller , map sensor or AFM upgrade and laptop software for PFC its pretty competitive - a 2nd hand rb25 power fc and decent electronic boost controller is probably more. Were hoping to have the 1st units early next week and we will be carrying them in stock. I am posting here as I think its pretty big news given the lack of power fc options for rb25/20. If any mods think that's not appropriate feel free to move to the sponsor sale section and my apologies.

autoworx Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 anyone who can tune a powerfc/wolf/haltech/motec/autronic etc will have no problem . software is very good and stable well also be able to arrange tuning for them Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/227684-new-skyline-plug-in-ecu-finally-a-power-fc-replacement/#findComment-4007783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenline Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 also what version do you get for the 1650$ v88 or v66? thanks! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/227684-new-skyline-plug-in-ecu-finally-a-power-fc-replacement/#findComment-4007856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoworx Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 v66 is the plug in version , its actually based on the v44 but is referred to as 66 due to the extra drivers for the RBs Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/227684-new-skyline-plug-in-ecu-finally-a-power-fc-replacement/#findComment-4008065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 So I can hook up a laptop if I have the right cable and adjust the boost or can only tuners modify it?

autoworx Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) So I can hook up a laptop if I have the right cable and adjust the boost or can only tuners modify it? usb is built in , plug into your laptop and tweek to you hearts delight . im not sure on tuner lockout options at this stage but certainly its not a requirement also has the ability to run multiple maps via assignable input , ie multiple boost settings . I believe cool stuff like gear/rpm dependent boost mapping is also supported (have to confirm ) Edited July 11, 2008 by autoworx Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/227684-new-skyline-plug-in-ecu-finally-a-power-fc-replacement/#findComment-4008398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levi_ Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 No hand controller, only though USB/Laptop. Not bad though, you could pick up an ASUS eee PC for $250 second hand and have that as a dedicated hand controller.
