Its really easy,

Pull the kick panel off passenger side, un-screw the brackets from the ecu then un-screw the 10mm bolt in the middle of the blue wiring harness. Plug the Power FC in, it can only go in one way.

Make sure its done up fairly tight, as for boost controll kit it plugs into the side of the FC you'll understand when it arrives.

If you don't have the boost solinoid then you have to go into ETC > FUNCTION SELECT > the top one BOOST CONTROLL KIT > turn it off by pressing arrow.

anyone have troubles fitting the power fc into the old position?

Ive tried for about an hour trying to fit the power fc with handcontroller cable plugged in into the silver bracket (old ecu position), the ****ing thing wont go in

now its just sitting on the passenger floor...

are u mounting it with the hand controller plug that plugs into the socket on the powefc facing up or down, mine is facing up, hope you are mountign it the same way. i couldnt find a way to actually attach it to the bracket, but once you bolt the braket back in the powerfc doesnt move around, you also try cable ties or some tape as cameron said

in my GTR I just took the bottom off the old ecu (it has the two 'tabs' that bolt to the car) and put in on the power FC, then bolted it up where it came from. Kick panel just goes over that. Hand controller is still plugged in too.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.

      STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
