Hi guys.

Seen some pretty nice manual conversion write ups but I fail to find appropriate information when it comes to plugging in a powerFC.

My ER34 as I've just found out after purchasing a powerfc in fact was an automatic conversion, causing problems with HICAS, aircon MIL etc.

Does anyone know how to convert it 100% for the powerfc to plug in as normal into a manual R34 or the changes required?

Cheers

The ER34 PowerFC is the same as the stock ecu, it just expects the normal sensors to work and be present

if there are sensors not working or out of range etc the engine check light will remain on

you can see what sensors are toast by looking at ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK on the hand controller

any sensor that is toast will be highlighted in a black background

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply. Even my tuner is stumped by the HICAS, TCS and aircon. I presume the Tps (THR black background int he pfc) diverts or relies on a signal or output from the shift control unit? I have the service manual but when I read the wiring diagram I look like :) <-- this. So i really cant find if this control unit between the fusebox and the door edge is actually between the normal signals coming to and going out of the ECU

If anyones interested I can upload the wiring diagram to check it out.

It should be fairly simple, does the car run fine? with the PFC?

Hi URAS

yes mate the car drives perfectly no idle hunts, smooth acceleration (still the standard PFC map) even when you poke it a bit knock levels under 30, cold starts jsut as easy as warm. Mods are simple just a pod filter and 3" turbo back exhaust, only boosted to 10psi. The only things that I know of that DONT work is the TCS cannot be toggled on or off. its simply off. and the a/c compressor. the a/c console functions perfectly and is even rekognised as being turned on and off in the sw/sensor check on the PFC.

cheers

Hey guys,

I didn't want to start a new thread and hopefully this one was just lost and not an unknown resolution. Something else I've found is that a NEO AFC throttle sensor reads fine 0-100% and both the PFC and Impul ECU drive fine. just have these problems with the PFC.

cheers

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
