Hi all..

I have a Silvia S13 with RB25det, fully forged internals and loads of other mods, just waiting for bigger turbo and aftermarket computer... this is where you come in? Hopefully? I am looking at either a GT2871R or GT35R (depending on money factor) and have been recommended various computers for this. Now if I had the money, it would be no question I would get a motec, but as it is the funds are tight and Im thinking of either an Apexi Power FC or (as numerous people have recommended) a Wolf... So here's the question... which is better or any other suggestions??? Thanks in advance ;)

Choice of ECU has been covered plenty of times, try searching.

Usually its best to decide on a tuner and ask them :wave:

Power FC is very common on skylines tuning on 98 octane fuel...it works with great results. If your using E85 or something then you need to re-consider a lot of things :)

I don't think anyone out there uses regular unleaded on these engines do they??? Always run 98 otherwise you're asking for serious trouble.

Run a Vi-PEC far superior than both the ECU's you mentioned....see Guilt-Toy's thread about his...he used to be a Power FC man through and through...now he has a Vi-PEC he will never go back to an old technology Apexi unit.

They are just as good as a MoTeC without the massive pricetag.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though
