It was supposedly in a rb33 gtst and was a piggyback ecu. It is 2nd hand and it did come from a decent dealer in australia.

[Kenna802]

HI all after hours apoun hours of research and pulling the ecu apart the item is a early version powermod piggy back system. After speaking to powermood.com.au i found there service to be excellent with them even sending me the wiring diagram and fitting instructions to the rb25det. well done to them it hard to find this level of help in an item bought off ebay in which they have no responsiblty for what so ever.

[Trozzle]

Good work mate, and good on them for helping out!

Hope it all goes well with install etc

[Kenna802]

well installed the unit today. hmmmm... Car 1 me 0 installed it all and wont fire. ( i did use spade terminals and splicing connectors ) so will be firing up the soldering iron on the week end and have another go at it. Hopefully it was just a splice connection that was not making contact.

[paulr33]

do you have someone that can even tune this system?

never heard of it, and i suspect most tuners will say the same thing

its probably more hassles than its worth honestly

i would have left it at that, cut your losses and buy something well known and locally supported

[Guilt-Toy]

if he is getting good support from the manufacturer then he will have the software and any decent tuner will be able to nut it out if he could be bothered.

get a nistune

[Guilt-Toy]

Good advice there. Nistune is readily available for Rrb25.

NOT

get a nistune

get a nistune

Good advice there. Nistune is readily available for Rrb25.

NOT

Track down a Z32 ECU, Get a Nis-Tune Board... Then off to the Tuner

We've done it to atleast 10x cars by now.

Just need the correct ECU No.

My two cents

^ yep. Why f**k around with a PFC when you cna do that! All it involves with the Z32 is some wire swapping an loading the R33 map on there.

[Kenna802]

There is a fair bit of support for the power mod system and it is the same distance away from were i live to power mod or nistune tuners. I am a sparky by trade and have some knowledge of how wiring should be done so i would rather just give it another go.

[jjskyline79]

Don't think the wiring will be the problem

It will be understanding how to map it with the correct timing air and fuel ratios

Have you got a wide band and gauge???

[Kenna802]

no i dont but it came out of a rb33 gtst skyline with same mods as me ( fmic , better air intake, exhaust etc ) so it should still start and run.

[Kenna802]

OK round 2 still didnt start but the bloke from powermood said to just run the powermod with out the input /output of the 120 degree senor ( this still just plugs into the normal ecu ). After that it runs so my question is what does the 120 degree sensor do ( i still have the 1 degree sensor inputted into the power mod ) Note this only required to be spliced into not cut .

[jjskyline79]

Just because the car had the same mods dosnt mean yours will respond the same way hence why some cars respond better then others with generic remaps.

[simpletool]

Actually if it has EXACTLY the same mods and in good condition then it will respond the same. But mods are rarely EXACTLY the same.
