Nahhh, I open my ears and listen to the glory :D

Then when they hand me the dyno printout, I squint my eyes and ask where the hell the power is glare.gif

Give then more money they give you more power!!! I'm going to throw my car on the dyno just to get a power run and suss out my afr's. I got DVS JEZ to tune my car but a while ago it pinged it's ass off on high boost so I pulled timing out from everywhere lol. Still feels the same but no ping.

As a side note question then. (have no fear i will read more before jumping in) but the dyno? I . . . well hows it work? does it require a piggy back unit or new ecu to be worth the tuning or to be able to be tuned? or once again should i get my head down and search for it properly :P

Yes your car is untunable. Read up "which ecu for my car?" have a look at the Nistune website (why do I need a Z32ecu?) and PFC v Link/Vipec

Try and get a drive (or at least a ride) in some modified cars to see just what power level you really want. You might be able to avoid the mistakes made by people like me who buy stuff and then have to sell it and buy more stuff because their goals change!

But as said above with decent supension/tyre/brake upgrades you can actually drive faster with the same power.

Sorry still learning . . whats PFC?

Sorry, should have explained better. It's an aftermarket ecu produced my apexi (as stated above). Its an older type ecu, without things like individual cylinder tuning, but..

It is tried and proven to be a top performing ecu. Almost everyone can tune it, and it can basically handle anything thrown at it. Its only real limitations are those from the afm's that are used.. But there are ways around it :)

But wait.. There's more! :D

Have a read through the FAQ and the external link that is in there, great stuff :)

That external link is perfect! everything I could of needed to know, i like it. Ha well youve sold me but guy I am ive decided to run low on funds . . . just so i cant go out and buy things i wont need . . . . But ill keep it in mind for when money comes around my way. You wouldnt happen to know rough NZ pricing though? or do you think just exchange rate would give me a good enough estimate?

Yer I had a wee search around and theyre now producing the FC datalogic, Which seems to be the upgraded version of the controller? Ill keep it up on the list of things to search for when cash is available. With personal experience would you recomend this as a starting mod as apposed to after a few mods first?

Having an ecu first will allow you to get better gains from any modifications you do afterwards :)

Datalogic is tuning and data logging software so an add on to the PFC.

Here is a PFC http://www.trademe.c...n-449954201.htm

but there is no reason why you can't buy a second hand one from Aus. If you are in NZ I would suggest your main options are

(cheapest) Z32 ecu with Nistune

or also cheap: megasquirt but you really need to be a computer geek to run one of these although this guy will set them up for you:

Power FC

HKS F-Con (good support in Auckland and Wellington).

You can see from my sig that I have a G4 Link which is made in ChCh and still developed and supported by the factory. Purchase, installation and tuning came to about $3500.

    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network. 
    • Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
