Newbie with a Stock Car

[fLipKnot]

Guys,

i'm not sure if this has been covered before or it might be in the Tutorials/FAQ section..yes i've search it but didn't find anything. I have a stock R33, what can i do to my ECU right now since it's stock? Besides like putting in the Power FC, what else can i do to mod the ECU?

You cant realy do anything to the stock ecu on r33. You could get a SAFC2 though, that will hook into the standard ecu and will let you control the air/fuel levels.

Ive got a safc2, its pretty cool but i wish i got a powerfc

I think the R32's ecu can be reprogrammed again, but no such luck for the 33's.

thats it. the stock computer cannot be adjusted at all, something to do with emission laws at the time? i just bought a power fc for mine, i havent installed it yet, but from what i have been reading its well worth the expense.

how much did u get ur power FC for?? I heard of those add ons on power FC...are those neccessary?

[shif_tea]

they're selling em in the group buy section for 940 delivered. Pretty good price. More expensive than that to get em in from japan

Yeah man i actually ordered it from that group buy section..but the thing is..some of them mentioned that with the current STOCK car i have, the power FC is useless. What i am going to do is just to get a Turbo Back, FMIC and if i have leftover money, will save up for a new HKS turbo. Then after that maybe a bosch fuel pump and injectors.

How are you guys going with petrol?? with mine, i only did 360kms full tank! stock R33 GTST S2!!

A power fc will still be beneficial to a stock car.

But you should do the basic mods first like

Exhaust

FMIC

Boost etc.

Then with the power fc you will notice the greatest gain.

However there is not to much sense in spending $400 to tune a power fc to a stock car then having it retuned to a mod, Waste of time and money.

you can mod the stock computer on R33's.

TOSHI from these forums does it for a reasonable price..

have a chat with him

[fLipKnot]

how do they go about modding the stock computer?
