Will A Power Fc From R34 Gtr Fit A R32 Gtr

[mattblack]

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, the fundamental pins are the same, based on a N4 config.

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.

Sounds like it'll be a baked tune.

2nd hand PFC - $750-800, thats only putting in what, $200 of tune... cant be good for that price

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
