Morning all,

I just got my power fc today. woo hoo!!! but was surprised at the lack of wiring. infact all thats there is the cable coming off the hand controller. i realise that the unit plugs into the standard loom but i was expecting a cable or something so the unit car sit in the car (passenger floor) is this all thats spose to be in the package???

I found the ap pfc to have much better idle control over the std ecu. :(

Overall it feels smoother to drive. Strange sensation really. :(

Now all you need to future proof your mods is a well priced bran spankin new Z32 afm. :D lol

yeah i want to buy one like right now, but i have absolutely no idea were to get one from. its like NOBODY has one for sale. especially in pretty yellow writing which renders me incapable of saying no. but oh well. maybe one day. hehe

im telling ya, u havent lived until you've seen this key ring. as soon as i put it on my key chain 3 lesbian couples appeared on my doorstep wanting to group experiment. and being the nice kinda guy i am i had to help them out. true story. :(

It will run fine.

The AP PFC does require a little tweaking of the cranking ms.

From memory the std values are:

80c - 4ms

50c - 8ms

They need to be the same as the rb26 and rb25 values.

being...

80c - 10ms

50c - 13ms

The values below are the same for both the r32 and r33/gtr.

I found it started fine, then pulled over turned the car off and the darn thing wouldn't start, just kicked over and over and over.

Dialed in the rb25/rb26 injector crank ms for 50degree's and 80degree's and it starts first pop every time.

The ap pfc base map will run richon the rb20det, the ign. timing isn't over the top so it shouldn't ping, obviously depending on mods and amount of boost run through what turbo. :(

Its all very easy.. don't be scared to play, be carefull, not stupid.

Don't fiddle with afr's unless you are running a wideband..

well i just bought an Apexi AVC-r today as im wanting to dial up 12PSI. and along with 3" turbo back zorst, Greddy FMIC, n POD i thought it might be an idea to get the entire thing tuned properly. I've been talking to a dood at UNIGROUP near sydney i think?? hope he does a good job. will be about 2weeks until the AVC-r arrives tho. so a small wait.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
