Power Fc In A Stagea

[EGA41T]

i have tried searching but couldnt find too much on this.

i was thinking of putting an r34 gtt power fc into my stagea (series 2 rs four s manual) will this work, and how will it affect things like climate control and AWD etc?

You can install the PowerFC into a manual stagea, but you need to hard wire the Atessa. there's information on how to do it on the forums somewhere

[AlexCim]

If you have a series 2 motor, NEO, a GTT PFC should work correctly if the plug all fits up.

Not sure you can use a GTT PFC on S1 due to the on/off VVT R33 vs the infinatly variable VTT on the R34

i am keen to do the same with a series II manual.

i did a search but i am still not clear on what is involved in hardwiring the ATTESSA.

i am also keen to do the power fc upgrade in the near future so will be watching this one for any more info?

I've also done a search, and found nothing relevant on hardwiring the ATESSA system.

Does anyone know what's involved, and is it a simple or a major process?

I'm really keen to do this, as I'd like to find that balance between better fuel economy, more power, more responce, etc., and PowerFC is amongst the best solutions (closed loop and plug-and-play are major factors).

[AlexCim]

Its a simple process. Think along the lines of, stagea ecu has seperate outputs on the harness for the attessa requriments, where the GTST doesnt. Therefore, its just 2 wires coming out from the single pin.

Read from about post 8.

By the way, goldzilla....you even replied in that thread

are the plugs the same for the neo GT-t and the Stagea??

i read in a search they were not the same but has that been confirmed.

[AlexCim]

Mercury Motorsport said that the PFC they used didnt need the engine harness to be cut/modified at all, BUT, a guy from Japan that did Goldzillas car said the GTT plug doesnt fit, ALSO, the R34 GTT neo engine has infinatly variable VVT where the R33 engine has it only on/off. SO, not sure what MM did about that, but they wouldnt share...its a secret

[wolverine]

NEO Stagea so the plug should be the same.

[AlexCim]

well there you go buddy, good luck and let us all know.

Yeah I did too, Alex! But that thread is so old I'd forgotten all about it and don't remember checking it for replies.

Hmm, the saving continues... Concentrating on the stereo for now (at least getting some replacement speakers, anyway). I can handle (and am quite enjoying) the power the car already has, and would like to get suspension and wheels first, once the stereo is at least partially sorted...

EDIT: Alex, did you end up taking your car to the PFC distributor to see what works/doesn't work before making your PFC purchase?

[EGA41T]

AlexCim, i see you purchased a power fc for your stagea, when will you be doing the manual conversion, and putting in the power fc?

...keep us updated...cheers EGA41T

[EGA41T]

so whats the story AlexCim???

[darrinspencer]

so whats the story AlexCim???

He dicided it was too much to pay someone to do the manual conversion nad has given up on the idea

His power Fc got sold to Sydneykid to go in a R33

[AlexCim]

Yes, i sold my PFC to SK's son Matt for his GTST.

I still have a stock GTST ecu with plug, good for.....just search and read the "why i didnt do a manual conversion thread"

[EGA41T]

hmmm, there must be somebody with a manual stagea that has used a power fc???

[AlexCim]

AFAIK, no-one with an S2 manual has gone the PFC way.

Be a pioneer, risk some cash and you could be rewarded.

[darrinspencer]

When I convert my S2 tiprionic to manual, the Power FC will be going in

Hopefully I get to be first to do it

[AlexCim]

What are you going to do regarding the engine harness? The question is, IS the stagea plug the same as a R34 GTT?
