Hey,

I am now looking for a new ECU for my 1999 Nissan Silvia S15. Over time I have been told how good the Apexi power FC's are for my car and have read a lot of import mags that show a lot of people using them. When I brought this up with a couple of mechanics they rekoned that the power FC is old tech/a biatch to tune and to go with something newer like the Vi-PEC V88. Does anyone have any experience with either of these ECU's or have any recomendations which they have used in thier own car. Would love to get a better insight into this issue before I go and blow a lot of money on the wrong thing.

Cheers

Depends where you're gonna get it tuned man.

ESP = ViPEC

Autotech = PFC/Autronic

Personally I went ViPEC coz PFC for R33 GTS-T is old as all hell and hard to find a good condition 2nd hand one, plus the support from ViPEC is amazing. Call them with a question or query and 99% of the time they'll put you straight onto Ray Hall himself. Good bloke too.

    • Absolutely nothing wrong with a Profec or similar. He's on a Nistune, so external boost control is a better option anyway.  
    • I would not replace the gauges. A well setup tune should never require any of that. I'm of the opinion that if you can't safely hand over a car to your parents to drive it's not fit for purpose and more engineering work should be done. Honestly I'm not a fan of external boost controller boxes either but if you have to you can shove the controller into the glovebox or something once it's set up. Tee it off the OEM MAP sensor. Also you probably want to put a two pin plug on the new solenoid, bolting it to the OEM location works. Just separate the wastegate line and compressor outlet so it will work on a 3 port solenoid, kevboost was walked through how to do this on an RB26, same idea just different locations on an RB25. You may have to remove the restrictor in the OEM hoses if they're still in there. 
    • Yep, it's why in Australia we never brought in the 1 child policy like China.  China can't afford to use the shit they make in their own country as it's too much to risk having only one child...  Or maybe that's how they test their shit before they send it to Australia - they use the second kid that families had when they weren't supposed to as the tester?  They weren't supposed to exist in the first place so no loss if they succumb to a work place incident?  🤣
