Hi all,

i currently run a Greedy emanage on my r32 GTR and want to change over to a Power FC

A well known Sydney workshop has advised they can use a PFC from a R34 and change some wires and it will work on my car. He has a 2nd hand unit and has made it very compelling from a $$$ perspecetive.

I know that the 32 and 33 PFC's work and usually not the 34 version.

Does anyone know if this has been successfully done before? I dont want to be the guinea pig for this.

thanks

I'm sure it can be done, but how cheap is this power FC? because 32/33 power FCs are not exactly stupidly expensive. they are probably the most affordable ecu you can buy and one of the most common types of PFC out there. so the 34 one would need to be mighty cheap to make it worth the hassle.

yeah he quoted me under $1000 supplied, installed and tuned. No hand controller though.

is this good? Im thinking yes

If the tune is good, then yeah that sounds cheap.

You should probably set an alarm on your phone to snipe this in the last 10 seconds:

it's ok, but really not super cheap. you can get a used PFC WITH hand controller for under $800 or less. and hand controller is important to have and expensive to buy on it's own.

i ended up getting it done but they decided to use one specifically for an R32 GTR. They spend 3 hours tuning it with 4 boost levels so i feel i got a good deal.

I have to say they did an awesome job on the tune, the car is much more responsive to throttle inputs and heaps less laggy with good progressive torque down low.

I will post the dyno printout but a quick summary saw me get the same power output on 14psi that i was previously achieving on 19psi with the Emanage. On 19psi i gained 26.2kw atw so now it has 311.2kw atw. There is more in it but i wanted it on the safer side.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and advise. this is a great forum thanks to you guys.

cheers

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
