R32 GTST owners - Did you know...

[TTT]

...that an R33 POWER FC works on the RB20det powered R32 GTST?

The guy in the thread below (Ping boy) is a mechanic at Croydon Racing Developments at Silverwater..

Enjoy...

Haha, the funniest thing in that thread is the guy saying that his Haltech was plug and play because it was installed in under 3 hours. If that's true, then my FMIC was plug and play too because it was installed in under 3 hours as well.

And so was my front facing plenum, my previous S-AFC (hell, that was less than *2* hours including wire splicing), and my 550cc injectors will also be plug and play Jeebus, my whole car was plug and play! All those mods aren't as complicated as I thought

[TTT]

hahahahahaha

the haltech is plug and play once you set up the MAP sensor and splice the wiring loom and insert the air temp probe and a hole host of other things..

hahahahaha

Anyway, I think this is big news for R32 GTST owners.

[Clint32]

you can buy plug in haltech just the same as the plug in microtech/wolf all you need to do is fit the map sensor

hahahaha Plug & Play hahahaha

It can take less than 3 hour to do alot of things. lmost all Turbo upgrades are from now on to be called 'plug & play'. Actually due to the simplicity of most upgrades I think they are all plug & play. There are a few people on this forum who have had alot of success with their 'plug & play' engine swaps.

FOR SALE - one plug & play RB25det front cut.

I don't believe it is as easy as just pluging in a R33 GTS-T ECU.

Injector size is different

No VCT on the RB20

Wiring & plugs the same?

Ask him to go in to it a little more what he had to modify.

[SlowGTS-t]

R32 and R33 GTS-t ecu plugs are the same

Actually, Plug in Link ECU's are the same for both R32 and R33 GTS-t, never occured to me that PFC's would be too...

(I plugged an R33 Link into my R32 and it started...

i plugged my playstation into my rb20det sil and i remapped the fuel/air ratios. I just used the plug and play Gran Turismo edit. You guys want me to do yours?

On a serious note, if this did actually work and the fabrication wasn't much to take it up to the price of a r32 one then it would be quite handy for rb20det owners. Be good if he gave some more info tho.

I wanted to use my xbox instead. Will it be compatible or will it need a chip? Another thing, will it over ride the speed cut?

I have been using a Commodore VIC20 'plug & play' in my car but am now considering an upgrade to a Commodore 64 or Amiga.

Is this thread for real or not, I would have thought with the wide use of the Apex PFC by now someone would have already stumbled onto this "miracle" if it were so easy why would AP engineering need to custom make the PFC to suit rb20det's at such a higher cost. But if it true i'd be totally stoked.

Now who's gonna be the ginney pig to try and post up results.

Thats a good question. Dose it really work? I'm not close to getting my car running to try. I know someone who has a PFC for a RB25.

[JAS-25T]

I was the doode arguing the fact that haltech is not essentially a "plug and play" unit

he just didnt want to bugde

[zandi2000]

could anyone clarify this 33 pfc issue? if so, how much do they go for second hand?

[TTT]

that guy on FFF who posted the original thread is a mechanic at Croydon Racing development.

Maybe get in contact with them..

Interesting, that sounds very similar to Carlo's "brOtec"...maybe you guys should swap notes

[mr_r32gtst]

Would you believe that some scooters can be remapped with Gameboy consoles!

[MrExa]

The new owner of my R32 Skyline (purple car DESEXD) just got a POwer FC installed in it by C&V but i dont know if it was originally intended for R33....
