I try and warn people the PFC is a 20 year old piece of dinosaur tech, and it's worth $20 in the scheme of things. There have been better options for many years but everyone still gags over them.

The beauty of the PFC is experience with so many tuners and the ease of replacement if you get EPA'd

I've had det on E85, when I had an intake leak and it was running too RICH...

That aint det Simon, it's spark breaking down.

I had det on e85, but i was running 22:1 on cruise while fiddling.

Any plug in ecu would have the same benefits, Haltech do a plug in too.

What sort of power/torque increases have the 86 people seen from it?

Not sure, the guy was SAU so it wouldn't be hard to ask... There were two running at PI, and I know at least one was on e85, the one in my group.

I wouldn't buy one these days with adaptronic and haltech available, but I've had mine for 5 years and rather than getting another 98 tune done on another twice as expensive ECU and then getting the E tune on top of it, a simple retune for E was the viable option for me.

It's still popular because every tuner can do them, they are plug and play and cheap and do the job just fine for all but serious racers. People love the hand controllers too lol

hey guys booked it in with freddy at nisma in thomo for that 700rwkw methanol tune with 9s and gt42 with 2 speed powerglide hollinger.

wot could go wrong?

Don't forget you will need twin SUS power filterz mate for that power.

Not sure if mocking perfectly sensible concept

I just don't see why some douche who did a medical degree for 6 years or put in the hard yards / cut back on spending habits when he was younger should own his own house when I'm stuck renting in Richmond and can barely afford music festivals let alone the repayments on my 3 series

I get 10L per hundred from e85 in the Evo, on the open road. Pretty good, but I doubt you will get that with the V8.

Yeah on 98 I'll get about 8-9l per hundred cruising at 110km/h just purrs

Actual city / daily driving it sits at about 15l/100 on average, about what's expected I guess.

heard ric once paid a bitch 2.25mil to suck his dick...

Birds, get Nistune and flex.

Done.

Last time I spoke to Trent he said 86's make something like 110 kw stock, and 145ish on E85 with nothing else done.

He also said they were pretty terrible car, widly not worth the money.

1:51 at PI doe...

Sorry Birds, he was in the 86/brz club. Craig Furniss with the BRZ, managed a 1:54 I think.

I'm surprised more of these guys aren't doing the supercharger or turbo conversions; that chassis has so much potential as a track car

Must be too new for people to want to risk their engines lol

Each to their own but there's nothing else for the same money that comes close in looks, handling and rwd...there's a reason they're farkin everywhere these days...Toyota found a niche and filled it. They will be the next big P plater and tuner car once turbo/blower conversions become more widespread and the second hand market value comes down a lot.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
