My mate gave me a Apexi Power FC + commander for my R33 GTR and I'm contemplating whether I should put it in my car.

The only mods I've done is a Apexi N1 Evolution catback exhaust, K&N hi flow panel filter and the boost is set at 1 bar.

I don't really have that much money to modify it further and I'm pretty happy with it as it is.

Would the PFC + tune be worthwhile in my near standard car and what kind of power gains would I be looking at?

Should I at least upgrade my fuel pump and injectors?

I've been looking at these injectors:

You probably have about 200kw at the wheels now. A powerfc + tune will get you maybe 230kw. Stock injectors are good for 280kw so don't change them. If the turbos are stockers they wont last at 1 bar forever, and when they do let go they can trash the motor if you're unlucky....

Spend the money on Front and Down pipes and a Hi Flow Cat so you get a full turbo back exhaust system.

That will open up the power a lot more.

You can still run a Power FC on a lightly modified car, as it will refine your Air / Fuel system to run at an optimum level.

Having said that, your car is stock besides a panel filter / cat back exhaust, 1 Bar boost and if your not willing to take on higher power levels, you won't really need the Power FC.

I would not bother with the 660cc injectors unless you are chasing big power figures.

Until you want a large amount of kW's, Power FC's / Injectors / Fuel Pump / Fuel Rail / Fuel Regulator / Z32 or Nismo AMF's / Boost Controller / Dyno Tune will have to come into play.

(1 thing after another)

Stock GTR parts like the Air Box + Filter / AFM's / Front Mount Intercooler / BOV / Fueling System are all good for 300 - 350 kW's.

Yeah AFMs like injectors are good for 280-300kw so changing them now is a waste of money. Save up for turbos and do them before anything, you're on borrowed time. My stock turbs let go at 13.5 psi, probably 120,000kms old. If you have to do ECU now, price up Nistune as an alternative to powerfc.

I'm in the same situation really.

Got the PFC in a box but the car is stock.

Found the car is still fitted with the boost restrictor.

Will removing the restrictor raise the boost to 1 bar?

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
