At the end of the day you should select a tuner who has greatest experience in the ECU you would like. Or, if you know someone that you want to tune your car, he will make a recommendation in what he feels he can tune correctly (if he is honest).

Whether is uses MAP sensors of AFMs is does not matter at all, if the tune is right there is no noticable difference when you are driving.

PFC is a great ECU especially for a street car does exactly what you need but personally there are other ECUs that can do things better. For example, I chose a Vipec V88 one of the reasons being it has knock control which I think is essential (my opinion).

Read every post but do not take any of it as gospel, people have opnions (sometimes very strong ones) and that over shadows a lot of truths and factual information. Do your research by talking to different tuners and make a decision based on what you want out of an aftermarket ECU and weighing up the pro's and con's of each.

Good luck,

Mike

3. Make sure that ECU at least is semi-common so if you have an issue later, you can switch tuner without much issue

Thats the main reason why ill be going power FC. I know if i hit a snag some1 will have had the same thing happen.

Nistune/remap same soft of thing. Extra $200 in getting nistune setup but its great had it in my 32 gtst and will be using it in my gtr

I tune for a living and am happy to do all 3, NISTUNE (3 or 4 week, but mostly s13), WOLF ( about 3-4 week) and POWERFC (about 6 -10 week) BUT for your application POWERFC for sure. It has the best aftermarket support ie can be tuned anywhere. The wolf V5 is not a bad piece of kit but after doing quite a few i think the extra cost is not worth it over a PFC.

PFC FTW

agreeing with Trent ^ Power FC is great for your application, i have run a power FC on a 300kw GTR with nismo AFM and was great, the only reason i went to autronic was cause of AFM's on a single set up, and cause at the time i couldnt find a d-jetro but would certainly look at one now and am actually considering going back to power fc just for the ease, and more than anything the handcontroller gibves you everything you need on a simple display.

    • I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for ?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for  >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate modern almost all cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
    • Let's be wary though, if cranking is so far off, what else isn't set right? Are the dead times set right, voltage compensation etc?   It definitely sounds like it's cranking fuel issues, and holding flat to the floor is shutting them down, but I'm with Duncan that if nothing was changed in the ECU at all, and then this started, I'd be more thinking a leaking injector.   Do as Duncan said, drop the oil and make sure it's not full of fuel.
    • It actually means give it less throttle.
    • Yeah if the goal is to drive something then modifying a car is a bad idea.
    • Wowee! She looks like a major handful out there Pete!
