yeah looks like it mate. I cannot move forward with the PFC anymore.. I have learnt all i need to know about PFC's.. time to move onto bigger and better things.

haha know that tune well, changing ecu's is always part of evolution and can only ever increase ones skillset.

My car is a car of two halves...

engine... sound system...

Reckon you can tune my subs and see if you can beat the kws I'm getting out of it? :P

just make sure that...

KW > dB

nothing worse than seeing a car with more dB than KW

that would be hard out of a skyline seeing as how the world record is about 180db...

But I'm working on it, don't worry :P

My sound system actually has 3kw of power... pretty weird to think about :D

Yeah... i got many years ahead of me before i catch you trent :P

On your current setup will you be able to go further by just changing the ECU? Where exactly is the PFC falling short?

Yes... The PFC is a great ecu. and it can do my power levels and much more. but seeing that i like to play nutty professor i need something that is more flexible to my needs.

I still love power fc's they are great. But this ecu came up and its time to make the switch, ive delayed it long enough. Hope it all works out.

ecu will be told when its in and working :kiss:

Yeah but WHAT ECU have you changed to???

We're all dieing to know, I'm surprised no-one has asked yet or did I miss something..........

well what ever it is (and ive got a bit of an idea what it could be if Dirt is involved)

you need to post the obligatry anti-lag flames out the exhaust video once uve got it all working haha

but seriously hope it all goes well,

im keen to see how she tunes up, differences you notice, and how all those new features work

ohhh i can do that now with my current setup.. Gizzmo launch controll FTW

GT from what I can see PFC's are fine for doing most of the things that users need in a programmable EMS .

I suppose more specialised uses (ALS/Launch etc) they're a bit limited but for what I want it'll do the job .

Things like the ability to self learn would be useful and I can see this feature becoming more and more important with the way emissions laws are going . If the systems can be made to self tune from basic maps then thats the hardest part for the end user solved .

BTW are you going to continue on with a mass air sensor or are you going to the dark side with an electric barometer ? LOL .

Cheers A .

BTW what system is the EPA using to analyse the exhaust gas , ages ago I remember reading that there is a method of shining a particular kind of light through the gas and by measuring the beam on the other side its possible to see the different levels of certain gasses .

im going over to the dark side mate. I am pretty sure with this ECU i can add a MAF if the MAP sensor pisses me off (this is a very good quality ecu so apparently this will not happen)

As for how the IM240 machine works at the RTA, i have NO idea.

But i do know how the machine reads, what it reads for and whats acceptable levels for whatever car.. I also know what levels are high medium and low when doing the dummy IM240 tests on the dyno instead of the guesswork i have been using previously.

Should be tuning another car for emissions very soon.

Good to see your dropping the Power FC finally.

Once you have the scope of something better you'll never look back. Id asume what ever your going to be using will be TPS/Map correction like the E11?

Generally I have only ever seen the RTA use a proper 5 gas analiser very similar to the Coda unit that anthony has access to.

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
