Hey guys i am about to book the car in to get one just wondering if anyone has one and can comment on how they like it dislike it? i know a lot come down to tuner but i am just tossing up between this and the autronic SM4 ??

RB26

Blitz 660R turbo

stock intercooler

exhaust

256 cams

looking for a nice streetable setup, hence i was looking at the wide band with the haltech if i go for that ?

I only trust the STD ecu and PFC when using the STD cas if you want a 1 deg sensitive control. On most setups I'll try using the cas but if I get too much timing scatter I go to a crank trigger setup. As for sm4 vs haltech there is no comparison the autronic has been a better system for years.

i dont like Haltech after finding out that the ecu doesn't deal with knock. And in my opinion knock is one major part of tuning. In my case i tune on my own. i dont like the idea that i have to buy a knock microphone now.

So go with Power fc mate better and easier to tune. D-jetro or L-jetro

hope i helped

Well you know the turbo setup as well trent :) would you say they are on par with each other? i just dont want to fork out and then a new ecu come out!!

HAHA its coming together hey? good to see! keep us updated :)

If you do decide on the PFC d-jet we have i will leave the tune in it to give you a starting point.

Thanks trent, yep trying to have it ready for power cruise :) I am not looking forward to pulling twins off though :P

Will the djet run twin maps as I want to change from 98 to e85 there isnt any 85 for 4 hours if I drive home so twin maps is a must :) this was why I was looking at haltech autronic, will the autronic run a wide band ? I assume so ?

You cant really run dual maps with the djet - not without datalogit and a laptop. I know it may sound pretty crude but on some of the xr6t e85 tunes I've done remotely I just add 28% extra fuel and 6degree more timing - this is as long as I know the 98oct tune was correct and I will generally get within 1% of my desired fuelling. You could probably do the same with the djet by adding global corrections to the 98Oct tune.

The autronic will accept pretty much all narrow and wide band sensors available - apart from ford narrowband 3V. You can also autotune.

Does anyone know if Autronic have made any progress toward calibrating the sm4 knock control module for rb's? I was told they were doing the calibrations in March last year but no word since...

I'm pretty sure that P-FC's don't have any knock control either, well if you don't count flashing a light as knock control.

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
