^^ there is no difference i have personally taken a PFC out of a S2 R33 and put it in my S1 R33 the differences are with the turbo on the engine and igniter's on the coil packs for the S2 the actual ECU handles the engine the same way

hey thanks man for clearing that up for me, good to know that someone has tried it too, so once again thank you, you are a legend :)

Had a search through this thread and cant find an answer, basically i have just had my power fc installed and instead of having to take the kick panel off every time i want to check something through the hand controller i would like to leave it in the glove box, is there anyway to lock the keypad so that buttons dont get pushed by other things in the glove box?

Hi

just after some help from anyone

I just got the power fc boost control kit for my car.. its the right one the A001 or whatever.... Now i know the map/pressure sensor plugs straight into the power fc, but where do i plug the actual solinoid into?

From what ive managed to find it seems as though on an RB25 you plug it into the stock wiring loom where the stock boost solinoid went, but i was under the impression that this provided constant power but no earth till the car hit 4500 rpm... Can anyone else help me out with this?

car is 1994 R33 GTS-t With Power FC (standard) and hand controller. PM's welcome :)

Cheers

Callan

W0rp3D - hand controller is fine to go in the glove box

Boostin96 - the plug goes straight into the standard boost solenoid plug its near your power steering reservoir

Cheers mate

so is this pin on The ecu slightly different to what it does on the stock ecu?

cause i thought it just earthed at 4500rpm?

ahh i see

so it basically serves a different purpose going from std ecu to power fc

eg. Stock ecu - earth at 4500rpm

Power FC - open solenoid at x amount of boost

or something along those lines anyway.....

Cheers for the help :P

Anyone else know anymore?

I'm fairly happy that that is right but cause its the same thing that i was gathering from pauls FAQ and a few other posts

just wanted to make sure it was a different function on the power fc

Hey i was jsut wondering quickly..

Is there anyway that a Power FC is avaliable for the R32 RB20DE (NA) at all??

Or if they are avaliable? ( Because i have heard that they are Very rare to get :S)

Thanks!

SLi32

its covered in the FAQ

there is no N/A version for R32 - you would need to buy R32 RB20 PFC, which is ap engineering

it will need to tuned before it will start correctly, as it will assume GTST AFM, Injectors and engine maps

that being said, you could correct it manually on the hand controller to make it start and drive OK

then you could drive to the tuners if it was a long way away or you couldnt wait

Hi Paul,

Ok, so I got my R33 RB25DET back from the tuner with a new turbo installation with the following:

Garrett 3037 turbo

Top mount manifold

SARD 550cc Injectors

Bosch 023 Fuel Pump

FMIC

Profec B Spec II BC

PFC

and more supporting mods...

Although they done a good job with the turbo/piping installation, the tune im not too happy with and need some advice on.

My problem is, when my car is cold, the revs surge from around 1300 to 1800rpm (this goes away when the car warms up), the tuner said he had no idea why this is happening and mentioned that the PFC doesnt have a cold start tuning option (if this makes any sense)?

The other thing he said was at high revs it knocked too much, so he reduced the timing right down to around 15deg IGN timing and now its very sluggish. He said that getting a high flow cat might fix this problem?

Im not too cluey when it comes to tuning and ECUs, so if you could shed some light on this situation it would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Mick

PS. I just checked the Injector latencies on your PFC docs, and im not sure if the tuner set mine correctly, they read 70% and -1.30ms, souldnt they be 67% and +0.052 for SARD 550cc in RB25DET?

very quick question

got mt PFC installed into my R34, ever since then my engine light wont go off the dash :) asked the tuner he said it's running fine etc and has no idea why it wont go away, he said the only time it goes away is when he loads a fresh map onto it but then comes back straight away ?

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
