I like the power fc, Haltech has no knock vs timing, Witch i dont like. My 2 cents.

depends on the haltech, the turbo 350z i just finished had fully functional closed loop knock control.... better than PFC or a factory remap.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that the Power FC has no knock control whatsoever.

I'd stay with the Autronic, Power FC's work but they are nothing flash, no options for alternate maps, no fully customisable outputs etc

Do they use stock knock sensors, or come with aftermarket ones? If so how effective is it, do you need to set the sensitivity to be quite conservative so it doesn't pick up engine noise, or would you say it is an effective safety feature?

Had Autronic, now PFC, noticeably different (eg, worse) than on Autronic.

Go Autronic.

interesting, what PFC i can generally get equivanlent results ie owner cant pick diff.

Factory sensors with fully programmable background noise, works real well did 3 hours solid on it (testing etc) and it works better than just about anything ive used.

autronic any day of the week i am going a sm4 in may car they will be the best money you will ever spend, a good ecu will save your motor with out safety features pressure sensors and data loggers you have no idea what is really happening and for the sake of $2500 to save a motor it is a small cost for piece of mind.

in no discredit do i meen this but just about every owner that walks through a shop door and spends money will all ways say it is just as good as the best or it is better because they have spent money on it, thats just the way people are i see it all the time.

its like those turbo fans in the intake.

I have a few spare female GTR ecu connectors you could have $20 + postage or pickup just wire it into the autronic and plug it in.... its how i do all my wire ins..... allows the cars loom to remain intact so it can be returned to std in minutes.

I was going to suggest this!

Status can you post a pic of the connectors you have, im interested!

Patch loom connectors from motec come with a small PCB so you can solder them, they do cost more but just the connector will do for me since ill probably just terminate and hot glue it

If anyone wants to swap their SM4 for a Djetro im all ears!

    • Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob
    • Transplanting the vvt from a 25neo into an rb26?
    • Well, I was going to say, "Is the wastegate set up so that it is not leaking?" That's actually a different thing to what you're asking about. In theory, if you have allowed the two halves of the manifold to commmunicate (more than the stock manifold does - which is at least a little bit) then the negative effect should be apparent in delayed spool, not in outrigth power. OK, maybe just maybe, a badly set up twin scroll wastegate "crosstalk" might kill the top end, although it's hard to see how. What is happening with the original wastegate in the turbo? is it sealed off properly. If it's left flapping in the breeze, it will f**k everything up. If it is still there, and can be returned to service, I'd be capping off the external (presuming the two halves can and will be isolated from each other after doing so) and have a go with just the stock wastegate. I have an internal wastegate in my highflowed rear housing. The bigger opening and flapper should be fine to >250 rwkW. So there's not exactly a pressing reason to have the external. Done right, an external will give better results. Done wrong, it might just be possible to have worse results. Report back!
    • Hi Rob It's a nistune ecu. Yes same shop, good reputation. Apparently the computer on the dyno is compensated for temperature.    Chris was saying that the lean or richness of the mixture would be covered in the actual tune, but he's already picking up in advance that it's under what it should be. Regards the dyno, it's also noticeable on the road. But I just want to add something that has just come in, it appears there might be something in the setup of the external wastegate. In the exhaust manifold there is a centre divider between the front three and rear three cylinders. The external wastegate has a pipe from each side that join at the wastegate. Theory is those two pipes just might be pypassing that divider and introducing a problem somehow. Is anyone familiar with the divider in the exhaust manifold and the effects if the two wastegate pipes were to create a bypass path? Thanks for your questions Rob, interested in your thoughts on this external wastegate bypass theory. Regards Rob
