Stock would be useless with those mods you got... :banana:

But i guess just to check everything running first , you could use stock. Or you can just go full aftermarket with a Haltech or Microtech.

Cant see why you cant use a power fc if your loom is all fine.

Im just wondering, are you the same girl that sold me your SAFCII... did we ever meet ?? like at mt ommaney ?

the tuners said not to use stock.. and naa that wasnt me who sold you that.. i dont live far from mt ommaney tho

yeah ive sent both my looms to be rewired!! i might just use the stock computer thanks sam =]

No worries Kate.

The best idea for Kate would be to get the stock ECU running for a while and if she does find a powerfc get the powerfc in there from a tuner who knows his shit.

P.S. All RB25DET powerfc's are the same. Neo's are a different story. And the looms change from model to model, obviously.

Sam aka Dr Drift does standard computer remaps for rb25's now.

what i will be going, bit more expensive then a standard re-map as a new motherboard get put in, but still good pricing as far as i am concerned, and can do everything a PFC can do cept you dont have a hand controlller.

i'd suggest asking him, i believe he is coming up in a number of months.

so i find out this morning its a NEO engine

WTF am i supposed to effing do now???

i soo give up :happy: looks like i wont be out friday night :D

So you've got the better R34 Version of the RB25DET!!!! - Get an ER34 Power FC I guess....

Seeing its a drift car, you'll only need to run legacy items to get the car going...therefore the ER34 (R34 PFC should do the trick)????

Still....hard to get a second hand PFC for R34...well...cheap that is...

that right there is my problem :rofl:

im just gonna run my standard computer and gonna see if i can borrow a dyno on friday to check my air fuel ratio's

can anyone give me a hand with tryin to find somewhere??

would be much appreciated!!

Just to clear some things up to prevent you buying the wrong ecu

You mentioned you are using a stagea rb25det. There is a few different types. They all use R34 ecu plugs

Series 1 stagea uses a series 2 r33 rb25det and there is 3 different factory ecu's which are wired up different. Even thou they are R33 motor's the ecu plug is a R34 rb25det. Series 1 stagea's use r34 power Fc due to the plug style, but require wiring mods, depending on which model ecu you have

Series 2 stagea uses a R34 rb25det neo motor and r34 ecu plug and a r34 power fc will plug straight in and work in a stagea, your car being r32 will probably need some wiring mods. Mainly power feeds etc.

Series 2 stagea came in AWD and RWD versions with the r34 rb25det neo motor. The RWD has the traction control throtle body and the AWD version does not. This will help you determine which series 2 stagea neo motor you have.

Have a search thru the stagea section as there is few power Fc threads with the issues encounted.

Just had a look at profile and the pic's of the Rb25det.

That engine is NOT a Neo. It appears to be a r33 version.

Did it come with a AWD sump?

It did but they replaced it with the R33 sump and oil pump.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
