Anyone used D-Jetro on there GTR ?

[R32-GTS]

just wondering if anyone has used a d jetro power fc on there gtr and any thoughts and comments would be appreciated. thanks.

[gtrken]

Simon, tricky to set up I believe and what is wrong with the normal power fc?

Pete has good hp and excellent driveability with the normal one using Z32 afm's.

I would suggest that if you want the no AFM route , use Autronic, or heaven forbid..wolf. Just be prepared to pay for the tuning on the latter...

Cheers

i've seen a gtr at CRD were jim tuned the car to 360awkw.using the jetro.

Simon, also consider the fact that the Datalogit software used in some shops may not support the D-Jetro.. I cannot get my PFC Pro tuned anywhere on Datalogit for the same reason... If you're happy to tune via h/c and want launch control I'll do ya a swap for a standard PFC... I believe R32 and R33 GTR PFC's are interchangable..

Cheers

yep they are. Just looking at which ecu to use at the moment and its narrowed down to 2.

i recommend you stick with the afm and ditch the map sensor idea... its a much more accurate way of measuring the mass of air coming in. drive-ability will suffer if you switch to a map sensor - and you will need a retune for any changes to the engine if your running a map sensor

[R32-GTS]

But you would need a retune if you changed something anyway. even with afm power fc.

I'm very interested to know about Power FC djetro also as I have noticed from the photos of my GTR that it does not have afm's. I would suspect it's running a map based ecu such as HKS FCON? The cost of buying 2 afm's and a std power fc would far outweigh the cost of a djetro unit....

[Jago]

doesn't the standard FCON run with AFM's? I think it's the Fcon V-pro that runs map sensor, correct me if im wrong.

Must be an Fcon V-Pro then as there are no afm's.

two rb20/25 afms will cost $300 for both and will work to 540rwhp and give better control than a map for street use in my opinion

[R32-GTS]

540 isnt enough

[pnblight]

540 isnt enough

$760-780 for two knew z32 afms with plugs from repco, not sure on there limit

(they read about 4v at 530rwhp so plenty of range left) but if your playing in this ball park then money should not be your issue as you will be spending sh.. loads on everything else anyway

ie clutch, gearbox, internals, fuel system etc etc

[R32-GTS]

yeh everything is done. fuel ,clutch, internals , gearbox ?? hopfully the stocker will survive for a while.

780 for z32's + 1200 ish for a ecu and its now a 2k deal. not been a tight ass but there could be better alternatives for the money.

[mokompri]

But you would need a retune if you changed something anyway. even with afm power fc.

not quite, say you take down the boost pressure, or change the boost controller arrangement ie wastegate creep control, then on a map based car it will need a retune

whereas on an afm based engine, it measures mass of air directly with the afm and thus knows if boost has been changed etc..

of course any big changes and you will need a retune on a afm based car as well..

but the big point is afms will give a better tune then map sensors, as they are more accurate in measuring the air coming in, i agree with what pnblight has said, stick with either twin z32's or rb25 afms

[pnblight]

$2k deal for engine management sounds like a steal to me ,as ecu and air/fuel control is everything if your trying for 540 plus rwhp i would be spending some series money on management and not looking to cut corners ,especially if you want this car street drivable

i think you will find alot of tuners would tell you to spend the money on management over many other thing first

but this is only my opinion and i have had great results with my pfc and afms, went you get the right guys tuning (Lumpy is the man for pfc)

IIRC the Apex PFC weak point is not being able to work with d-jetro...not sure on the Apexi Pro version.

Regarding the F-Con V Pro it's not a problem thus tuners' choice. Not sure on the F-Con SZ/SA...but I think it can also run d-jetro as it can be converted to a full-com but don't quote me on it. My December Option issue has gone walkies...but there is a comparison in there outlining the strong and weak points of all the Japanese CPUs. F-Con V Pro obviously wins out right as the best, but question I ask many is do you really need something like a F-Con V Pro, unless your after 600ps+!

[pnblight]

apexi pfc in the apexi v-max R32 gtr made 1100hp and ran 8.45sec 1/4 with 90mm afms what more do i have to say (afms arent a limiting factor)

Theres a few others i know of who can tune power fc just as well. cheers.

Hi there, Tuning an F-Con V Pro in Perth is a problem as we do not have someone here that is capable at present, thus my intention to get rid of the F-Con CPU. In a quest for saving a few dollars I considered in the light of not having AFM's it might be cheaper to seek out a MAP based ECU to replace the F-Con with that can be tuned locally. I'll be happy with a clean 400rwhp, so MAP sensors are not a necessity.

Looks like I might just have to fork out for z32 afm's and a std Power FC...
