hey

i was just wandering whos got this in their 'line and how effective it is...

does it make a noticable improvement to hp and acceleration and how does it compare to a full computer like the power fc or microtech?

and what can be done with it...ie fuel/air fix?

does it have the ability to control boost levels? so i can get rid of my turbosmart boost controller???

cheers

Get the manuals.

The AFC is just a piggyback air/fuel controller - more like a compensator.

The PowerFC is a full ECU replacement. Given that an FC is twice the price of an AFC yet does more than twice as much I think it's a forgone conclusion on which is more suitable in the long run.

The S-AFC certainly makes a style statement. Most people think that the AFC is a temporary step up to something bigger. For $400 it's worth it just to used it for a while and then flog it off.

Personally I think that the blue screen is just a teeny bit gay - a full complement of blue screened RSM/AFC/AVC-R is even more gay.

$400 - $600 for the S-afc for around 20-30rwkw gain on the stocker. Tripple that plus for a cheap PFC (add more dyno time) and you end up with about 5rwkw on top of the S-afc (If you are lucky)

go the pfc if you are going to go mad on a tubo upgrade later and have the cash all the same.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.

      RB26 AWD Sump / RB25 AWD Stagea Sumps - Are they the same?

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      I have information on this for anyone that comes looking again. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18gsbFaYTU/ The rb25det neo from the stagea has the same sumo as rb26 and r32 gts4 (and other awd models). The sump that has caused so many problems during swaps are from the awd neo Gloria's. The casting numbers on the block and oil pans are different so this may help identify if you can't confirm where the motor came from

      Not feasible to fix the boot lid you had? Damage looked minor/hard to even see :p Source: Drove into something recently and you should be happy you didn't!

      Another new used boot arrived at the painters, it was sent back as there was nearly as much damage as the original one I want to replace  Finding a clean used boot lid is proving problematic, and I'm not keen on dropping $1500 on a new one from Mazda Sigh....
