ok ok settle down ive done a search and cant quite find an answer to what i want to know....

ive got a rb25 with 264 cams, cam gears, fmic, 1.2mm metal headgasket, fpr, big fuel pump and a tdo6 20g (with 12cm exhaust housing) ready to bolt onto the side of it. what i want to know is, the engine is in an r32 and is still running the rb20 retuned ecu. can i get away with running that and using an safc with some bigger injectors or will this not work so well and should i just bite the bullet and get a powerfc??

i dont have the funds now for the power fc so i would have to wait till i could put the turbo on. im chasing about 250 rwkw, ive been told i could get a bit more because i ahve the bigger cams but because the internals are stock id rather not risk it.

any help would be great as im stining to get this turb on the car asap so i can have a bit of fun!!!

cheers....brett

powerfc ap engineering model 1400 with hand controller + tune 350

rb25 powerfc modded to work on rb20 1000 + (mod work $unknown)

remapped rb20 ecu 400 tuned

main advantage with pfc is you get the hand controller and it can be adjusted easily and quickly, plus you get knock sensor, airflow and injector warnings with the engine light. also adjustable rev, idle

vct has been disabled as it has the 264 cams so thats been taken off. its running the modded rb20 ecu and the loom to the ecu is rb20 going from ecu to engine then it has the rb25 engine loom. i have no idea why they have done that but everything under the bonnet came as a surprise to me so i cant complain to much.

it has some very grippy tyres on there atm and is running hks coilovers so traction at this stage is controllable although the twin plate clutch is really being a handfull to drive. anyone wanna swap for a button that will hold the power im chasing :(

the interface on the hand controller is very easy to use and has a few very handy features. you dont need to be race engineer or tuner to use it. it can be useful to make adjustments to correct excess knocking, adjust timing and fuel, change idle and monitor all the essential items. you will only risk the engines safety if you make stupid adjustments, and you would be foolish to do without knowing what it did.

so it is a VERY handy device to have, once you have one and use it, youll never go back

something else to add, the fact the powerfc comes with a handcontroller means nothing to me as im not a tuner and therefore wouldnt touch the thing with a 10 foot pole anyway for fear of changing something and stuffing up the setting on it.

Don't think of it as a tuning device. Look at it as if it is 8 digital gauges, it's good value for money for that reason alone. It's also a great diagnostic tool, just like the Consult is for a Nissan dealer.

:) Cheers :yes:

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
