Dragon18 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hay guys my car is on its way and iam budgeting for some things id like to put on there? from what i have been told i have a stock ecu? the car a large fmic i think its hks, exhuast cold air intake, suspension sway bars and who knows what else lol. i think it was used for drifiting also its a 97 180sx =) it also has inside a profec b boost controler and some one said it might have the old style apexi afc but not to sure =) now if it does have a stock ecu? should i replace the old boost controler and put in an avcr and rsm? is it worth getting rid of the profec b or is it preety good? or leave that crap out and put in a power fc with hand controler? reason iam asking is with the mods the car has how well can the stock ecu perform with these mods??? e.g to performace pinging air fuel etc. and how much can the power fc help me with the kind of mods i have? Thanks for all the help guys.. ohh here is the link to the mods on my car from the last post. =) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...=&threadid=8021 Cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8377-what-to-spend-my-money-on-powerfc-avcr-afc-rsm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0p3y Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 why the f*ck would you want to replace the boost controller instead of the computer? If it does have stock computer replace it.

Jay95R33 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Wait until the car is here. The reason I say that is that sometimes gear can be pinched from your car while on the docks. Sad but true. Don't waste your money on s RSM, I'm sure you've got a speedo and tacho on the car that works. The Profec b is a good unit, hold onto that. You might find that the ECU has been remapped, so wait till it get's here. When the car get's here go right over the whole car and find out what it has, and if need it be run it up on a dyno and check A/F ratios, fuel pump preasure blah blah blah, decide from that what you want and need. Once you get the power bug you'll want more though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8377-what-to-spend-my-money-on-powerfc-avcr-afc-rsm/#findComment-121141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver-Arrowz Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 When you get the car, dyno it and get a read out of a/f ratios. If it's too rich, SAFC. Ask yourself, why do you want the RSM? Rice factor, or for the data it can give you, and do you know what it means? If you intend on modifying the car more in future, get the PowerFC or something similar, and don't waste money on something you'll end up replacing, ie. SAFC.

ed Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I reckon wait until you get the car then see *exactly* what you go in it. Then work out what you want to do with the car. Chasing power? Looks? Track car? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8377-what-to-spend-my-money-on-powerfc-avcr-afc-rsm/#findComment-121226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
