Hi guys after any information on what computer i should use to support 400kw+ for my rb26dett build currently using a nistune ecu. Also running on pump fuel.

Potential use for track drag and drift.

Bah Piggaz, theres nothing wrong with a PowerFC. It does the job just like any other ECU.

But why would you consider a PowerFC when you already have Nistune? Makes no sense to take out powerful OEM ECU with tuneability and replace with less powerful vintage ECU with the same requirement for AFMs.

There is everything wrong with it when you have something in there already that will do the job. It's a sideways step. If you're going to change something, change it for the better.

While you're right, I chimed in saying PowerFC because everyone else was saying other brand name ECUs that he didn't need, PowerFC is more on his level. PowerFC > Nistune anyway. They're both basic budget ECUs, but they'll both do the job.

Lol.

Nistune can do way more than a power fc.

The power fc is shiet. I was running one and got rid of it for a haltech. Pfc not even worth the metal they are made from.

What makes you say that? Mine's been tuned on Nistune and on a PFC, both drove just fine. Was tracked with the PFC with zero issues, made 400kw. Definitely more down to the tuner than it is the ECU.

I have a PFC in my 32 and the original tuner who is one of the most well known tuners in Sydney did a farkin horrible job of tuning it and I wanted to bin it then gave it to Scott@Insight and now it drives better then the stock one ever did

TL;DR, PFC requires a better then good tuner

EmTron > Haltech anyday of the week

^^ This. I'm not saying Haltech is shit, I'm not saying Nistune is shit, I'm not saying PFC is better than all of those combined. I'm saying there is nothing wrong with all of those options provided you have the right tuner. To say PowerFC is shit because its old is naive, 8 times out of 10 its more than anyone on this website needs, we're not all running 800kw drag cars where we need every sensor ever conceived and an ECU to shut everything down because it broke a ringland at 8000rpm while making that 800kw.

Don't need to spend 2k on an ECU to suit the "drive around town and maybe a track day a couple of times a year" application.

    • Ah yeah I forget we aren't talking about an RB.
    • Fellow ADHDer to fellow ADHDer; Don't chase that paint perfection. Paint the bumpers, and put them on.  Leave the respray for another day. Plus, no one is going to see those old areas above. Any spots of surface rust, give them a clean up, prime, then hit with a white paint just to protect them from rusting. Again, no one can see it.   #Mine hasn't been on the road since 2011 cause ADHD... I've slowly learned not to keep f**king with shit if I don't need to...
    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
